June 3: Phuket & Soi Dog

June 3:

I flew to Phuket, the last destination for my Magellan! I explored the nearby beach and I could tell this area was a lot more touristy than the area I was just at for the sanctuary. I also had the chance to talk to a worker from the “Soi Dog” Foundation about their efforts to reduce the stray dogs on the streets. They also rescue dogs from the dog meat trade, vaccinate them and provide veterinary care.  They also try to bring awareness to the communities and have dogs get adopted rather than just left on the streets. While being in Thailand I can easily say I’ve seen at least one stray dog on every street (usually more).
