BANGKOK — Large and small, they lean from every perch in the capital city, but now City Hall vows to enforce regulations on the innumerable advertisements found in public spaces.

Part of its ongoing “reorganization” of Bangkok that has cleared out street markets and phone booths, city officials vowed Thursday to get rid of all the illegal advertisements and reorganize 74,000 existing ads, from small signs to enormous LED screens.

Doing so will be achieved through enforcement of the 37-year-old Building Control Act.

Every year, hundreds of thousands of pets are snatched in Thailand, then smuggled into Vietnam, destined for Hanoi's top restaurants and street stalls. Demand for dogmeat is so high that supply has become a highly lucrative – and brutal – black market

Only change is prosecuting people who kill the fuckers after they bit them or their kids, Thai sentimentality fulled by a certain publication. Thais are certainly NOT animal lovers for all their fake compassion.

Weren't soi dogs rounded up every few months and fed to crocodiles? That's what I read years ago

Do you think soi dogs are on the decline ??

They had their heyday years ago

Ehhh, how did we get here, this started as a discussion about billboard, still the over supply of soi dogs is a good topic

The twats from the Amphur do round them if paid- they take them away and dump the fuckers somewhere else :rolleyes:

They just have a different connection than the one that you've been conditioned to believe....
