I interview Michael, a remarkable expatriate from Sweden, who has dedicated years of his life to making a difference in Thailand. Once a chef with a passion for culinary delights, Michael's life took an unexpected turn when a sick, stray dog wandered into his restaurant, forever altering the course of his journey.
In this exclusive conversation, Michael shares the transformative moment that led him to embark on a new mission: rescuing and providing a haven for Thailand's countless stray dogs. Discover the touching story of how one chance encounter ignited a flame of compassion in Michael's heart, prompting him to establish a dog foundation committed to alleviating the plight of these vulnerable animals.
From his early days as a chef to becoming a guardian angel for Thailand's stray souls, Michael's story is one of selflessness, resilience, and unwavering dedication. Join us as we delve into the challenges he faced, the triumphs he celebrated, and the countless tails of joy and gratitude from the furry friends he's rescued. #thairishtimes #dogfoundation #thailand

As I watched this in disbelief, a massive bomb went off in my head at the same time. Not only did I immediately make a donation, I was totally inspired by Michael and his efforts to one day shoot for opening my own shelter in Thailand. I'm a few short years away to retirement--but have already had bouts of anxiety over what the next chapter of my life will look like. I'm not kidding---these helpless animals need us all, and I can't wait to be of service one day. I've spent the last 20 years as a civilian Counseling Psychologist for the U.S. military (the last 13 here in Asia) Headed back to the U.S. for one final "good-bye U.S. tour" before heading to central Thailand and starting a new adventure where I can continue to be of service, this time with a different tribe. Thank You Pete! I would likely never have found this on my own living outside of Thailand. And Blessings to Michael and his committed group of amazing helpers--all doing Gods work. Happy New Year---.

Very much enjoyed this interview. I'm planning to move to Bangsaray this year. Maybe when I'm set up I can build some of the aids for the dogs missing legs. (The wheels and frames). I'm having some difficulties finding a house with a garage on the internet. Maybe when I'm there I'll have more luck. My Dog and my tools are the most important things I'm moving to Thailand with. Happy New year from Brisbane Australia.

So there's been a few fairly popular yr travel Vloggers who've made a fairly recent return to Thailand. The Digital Nomad Couple Lloyd & Mandy have decided to make BKK their Homebase for the foreseeable future after traveling the World for 2+ years searching for a place to plant themselves. Then there's Mr. Let's cooool off in the poooool himself William Taudien > he too very recently returned to the Kingdom & has said he plans to hangout for awhile. Making the triple play is Gabriel Traveler who just returned > not sure however how long he plans to remain in Thailand... don't think he's planning on staying longer than the 1-2 mos Visa on Arrival max. Of course no surprise those who've been all around the World over the last few years are returning > getting just 1 of the 3 would be fantastic media... maybe You'll be able to get all 3🤞 👍

Back in the great depression my grandmother lived on a farm. There was a small bridge that went over a stream. And she would always be pulling out patato sacks full of puppies to save them from drowning because people dumped them like that.

Interesting. I grew up in Thailand and graduated from high school there. I think it was around 1968 or so my parents took me and my brother to Pattaya. Wasn't much going on in Pattaya in those days and not much development. My father leased a boat and a skipper to take us out to the reef for snorkeling. Then he took us to Dog Island, a small hilly treed island with a gorgeous C shaped sandy beach. The rest of the island was home to a few hundred dogs and a handful of older Thai women and a some hootches. I don't think those dogs saw or smelled many farangs. The dogs were a bit on the mangy side, not starving, and no bother just staring at us. There was alot of staring at the crazy farangs in those days 😊. I wonder if Dog Island still exists? .😉 Actually I think that island is called Koh Larn nowadays and a tourist destination. 😏
@gaba8934
@gaba8934 6 месяцев назад
Actually, I just pulled out some old charts. Koh Larn would be to large for the old Dog Island. Probably was Koh Rin....but 🤔
@ThairishTimes
@ThairishTimes 6 месяцев назад
Wow I never heard of it but then again that was the late 60’s. Were the dogs dumped there?
@gaba8934
@gaba8934 6 месяцев назад
Yes...the dogs must have been transported out there. The island was quite away out from Jomtien beach...maybe 40 minutes to an hour plus out from the mainland.

That ORANGE Becker Book is....THE BEST. I worked through all of that about 10 years ago. I know of no other better book. The Becker Intermediate Book is also good. But, the Advanced Becker book, IMHO, is a waste. There are better resources when you reach that level of reading. There are also excellent recordings that go with the book. And, also, a dictionary, Word in the Hand, done by the same company. All great resources for reading and speaking Thai.

That’s not true at all. The difference is that nearly every dog that needs help will accept it. You can’t help humans who don’t want to help themselves. There are millions of people all over the world who dedicate themselves to improving the lives of other humans.
