Pattaya municipal officers and local veterinarians rounded up stray dogs in Jomtien Beach to administer rabies shots.
The city hall police, led by Somchai Inruang, and vets on March 20 captured “a good number” of wild dogs for the vaccinations after Chonburi was declared a “red zone” for rabies outbreaks.
While Pattaya has a large population of stray dogs across the city, Jomtien has the most due to local feeding them. However, a number of tourists complained that they were scared of the wild canines due to their potential to have rabies.
Authorities said they will continue to make field trips to gather and vaccinate dogs.
