You introduce a stranger into their territory and expect them to remain calm? No way as it is their basic animal instinct. They see your dog as a competitor and a stranger invading their home.

So in your eyes, these strays own the whole beach?  The entire waterfront is their territory?

That's a bizarre take

 

People are allowed to walk their dogs 

 

But these people may be relatively new walking their dog in Thailand 

 

You just take a stick

You don't need to hit them

 

Really just raise it and they will scurry

 

But it really is a pain in the ass, trying to walk your dog with the Soi Dogs around 

 

 

We had my German Shepherd in Patong and the Soi dogs would go wild

 

They eventually got used to him and knew he wasn't backing down 

 

 

But it is a negative for me

Since having a dog is a huge part of my life and always will be

I'd be more worried by some of the locals who wander the streets after 10 pm.

A pack of dogs together can be dangerous, especially you have young children with you.

This end of the beach is typical for where they are at. I drank on the beach right there for a few beers one night last year and one came up and sat by me. The reality is they are a total safety concern for some, and these folk walking their dog are clueless and should have picked their dog up immediately and walked away from them. I agreewith Marc26, as in you need to know how to act with these type of dogs. I also think the dogs don't mind most all of the people, but they have a feeling and can read others and that is where problems can come in.
