A third dog rudely rushed into the scene and joined his brothers. Only thing is, this dog didn’t get the memo. He didn’t read the meeting agenda. He didn’t understand we were having a mediated conversation. He chose violence. The dog leapt forward and the chase began.
Jeez Tobi!!! This was riveting!! You had me wanting to get right back on the plane at "She seemed a bit confused. 'What’s the name of the villa?'" I have massive airbnb anxiety, haha!! But you made it! You survived!!
oh yeah that part was annoying. at least it was early in the morning so I had options, but if it was night and nobody knew where the place was...idk what I would have done. slept in the airport? on the nearest beach? cozy up next to a gentle-looking street dog?
lmaoo I dey fear street dogs, the other ones are usually fine. in Kuala Lumpur, I stayed with a friend who has the cutest, most teddy-bear like dog I'd ever seen. the thing is harmless. never barks or acts aggressive. he just walks up to you to rest in your lap and play for a bit and then goes on his merry way
As someone who has been chased/followed/targeted by stray dogs in several countries, I can empathize. It’s so scary!! Have they been all over Thailand? (That might drop it a bit lower on my ‘to visit’ list 😅)
lmao why always you? are you walking around with dog-snacks in your pockets? haha nah there were a lot in Koh Samui but not so much in Bangkok. Didn't go anywhere else in Thailand. Quite a few in Bali too but those ones minded their own business and barely even noticed me. But I also saw cows, goats, chickens, something that looked like a small horse but I'm entirely sure😅

This is wild! And you're right, never trust a person who vouches for a dog. "Don't worry it won't bite." It will bite
LOOOL 100%. have you had an experience with dogs like that?
Oh my family owned dogs like that 😂. I'm prime example of that dog person you shouldn't trust.
I've said oh he won't bite and the dog chased some people back to their houses.
lmaooo you see yourself. na why I dey fear una😅
What an adventure Tobi! Enjoyed reading this, sorry I giggled at some parts. Glad you're alive to tell the tale!
Hey I write things so people feel things haha so feel free to laugh at me😅
