I don't know how many time I've heard this nonsense. Have people never notice the number of vet clinique in Bangkok ? Much more than hospital. They are always full and I've always been the only foreigner in the waiting room.

And now this story that happen to me today. I'm relatively new in Bangkok and I don't know yet all the good places. It was getting a bit expensive to buy the meat for the dog at TOPS so this morning I called my wife who is now in Hong Kong and asked her the location of some market where I can get cheaper meat. She said don't worry, I call the maid next door, she will buy the meat for you. This afternoon the maid rings the door with a big bag full of small bags. She explained me she already cooked the meat and each bag is an individual ration. One meal, one bag. We just asked her to buy cheap meat, that's all ...

And I don't mention my mother in law who is convinced that I can't take care properly of my dog and who was ready to send a taxi every two days from the other side of Bangkok with food for the dog.

And people say Thai people don't like dogs ...
