Ecotourism in Thailand: 5 Beautiful Destinations

4. The Soi Dog Foundation

There are an estimated 8,5 million “soi dogs”, or stray dogs, in Thailand. It’s everyone’s best interest to bring down this alarming number, but the methods commonly practiced in the country include euthanasia and even selling the dogs for meat. The Phuket-based Soi Dog Foundation finally introduced a humane approach to the issue: providing the dogs with shelter, treatment, and eventually “forever” homes. Volunteers are always welcome to help “socialize” the new rescues and to help them travel to their new families. You can also become a sponsor or even adopt a furry friend yourself!
