zen4dummies Posted November 10, 2003 Report Share Posted November 10, 2003 This evening as I walked from Nana Plaza to Soi Cowboy I saw the King walk from his (?) normal spot to a place about 4 meters down Sukhumvit and flop down nearer to the buildings. The King laid there with head raised, grinning and looking very pleased with itself as I walked past. I wonder how it has gotten so fat. zen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffalo_bill Posted November 10, 2003 Report Share Posted November 10, 2003 z4d, this is the first report that has ever confirmed the animal is actually alive, pleased to hear this. maybe you were witness of a strategic decision and he settles now 4 meters down Sukhumvit til further notice.

Guest Posted November 11, 2003 Report Share Posted November 11, 2003 I think what distinguishes this dog from the rest is his laid back approach. Normally other, lesser animals, get fidgety when someone steps within an inch of their head. Not the King. To really test his resolve maybe someone should step on him..

buffalo_bill Posted November 11, 2003 Report Share Posted November 11, 2003 Chico + Buddha, I am a true hardcore dog-aficionado and currently out for training every day with a Hungarian Vizsla huntingdog. Fantastic animal. Did accumulate some experience with dogs over the years and could say the following : An ambiente like Sukhumvit is extremely stressful for any dog , whether hardened streetdog or not. Tremendous noise and a million different things to smell. Peak TukTuk time at 17:00 is a catastrophy for any dog's nose and ears. They can smell from Suk Soi 5 if somebody farts at the airport , that's what they are like. The additional burdon that our friend takes by sleeping peacefully in the middle of thousands of drunken punters is a big mystery as such as he does not seem to develop any demand for shelter. No idea why he is so relaxed; probably living on the surplus Singha from the Landmark; that would also explain the overweight. Bbill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiery Jack Posted November 11, 2003 Report Share Posted November 11, 2003 Says buffalo_bill: I am a true hardcore dog-aficionado and currently out for training every day.... Sounds like you require a trip to Soi 7 Beergarden, matey. There's plenty of beefy old growlers there who'll give you a good "workout" for a few shots of tequila and a packet of nuts. jack PS. "Tradesman's" is on the menu too, but costs a bit extra. :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddha Posted November 11, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2003 I have seen the King become agitated and agressive in the mid morning 9 to 10 am period where a nearby busstop was servicing a good deal of folks. I have also seen him snap at a motorcyclist [me] when I was passing very slowly. The street and sidewalk were not busy at the time, I cruised by gawking, made eye contact, starred and he took of after me. He wasn't that hard to shake, and he doesn't look that dangerous, but ANY dog can do some damage if you are unaware. I have found that strays in Thailand don't fuck with you unless you make hardcore eyecontact. No prolonged eye contact no problem. Post a picture of the king please....
