My wife Khwan, a Thai wildlife artist with a deep love for animals, and I have been married for 30 years, over 20 of them spent here in Thailand.
We've visited many animal facilities over the years, and without a doubt, the Soi Dog Foundation in Phuket stands out as the best, not just in Thailand, but across Asia. They care for people as well as animals, which is something you don't always find.
Soi Dog is truly special. From the moment you arrive, the staff make you feel welcome and appreciated. Our experience was incredibly friendly, especially our meeting with Sam McElroy and his partner, Louise. As fellow Irishmen, Sam and I connected instantly, and I feel like I've made a friend for life. His dedication, energy, and enthusiasm are inspiring.
The organization's mission, its upkeep, fundraising efforts, and the happiness of the volunteers and staff are a testament to what can be achieved when things are done right.
Khwan, Emilie, and I are excited to become a part of Soi Dog's work, and we're grateful to Sam and Louise for their kindness, not only to us, but to all the animals in their care.
If you're interested in volunteering at Soi Dog, particularly during the low season, you'll be warmly welcomed. You can find more information on their website: www.soidog.org/
