The Lean On Me Live Fest at Blue Tree Phuket last month raised an outstanding total of more than B260,000 for those hardest hit by the ongoing COVID economic crisis, left out of work and unable to buy even basic food items. Here is a report from the organisers now that the dust has settled, but efforts continue to help people in Phuket still suffering financial distress.

Puppies are proper cute, there’s no denying that. They can be endless fun and you’ll take billions of amazing lovely photos of them when they’re playing, falling over, or mostly when they’re sleeping – which they do, a LOT. But despite the endless amount of cuteness, the additional seemingly endless amount of ‘biting’ can get annoying and leads to one simple question: “How do I get the biting to stop?” Short answer: You don’t.

It has now been over a year, and 5 Star Marine together with Sutai Muay Thai continue to support vulnerable communities in and around Phuket, Phang Nga and Surrounding Islands. To date, they have exceeded over 150,000 ife bag donations, (each one containing enough staple supplies to feed a family of 5 for around 4 days). The fleet of 5 Star Marine speedboats have enabled access to some of the most at-risk areas, and allowed the charity efforts to go further afield, reaching impoverished smaller villages and islands as well as focusing efforts across Phuket itself.

Based in Bangkok and still with one foot in the high (blood)-pressured world of advertising, I started pursuing my retirement dream of becoming a travel writer in 2004 by freelancing for John Everingham’s iconic Art Asia Press and The Greater Phuket Magazine. December of that year saw me on an assignment to a magical realm called Koh Lanta, where John said I should get in touch with a fellow named Duane Lennie… who he described as “Mister Koh Lanta” and who was reputed to know everything there was to know about this fabled isle.

Food is a primary resource – this is true of all animals. However, having a dog that guards their food can be problematic. I’m not one to advocate reaching into your dogs bowl, and whipping their food away to prove “you’re the master” – and if anything, depending on the dog, this could make things much worse – but I do advocate doing lots of work with your dog with food being a central tenet.

This is not a superhero story from our childhood, filled with powers of invisibility, superhuman strength or teleportation; this is a story about a few selfless, unsung Phuket pandemic heroes. So, make yourself comfortable and let’s begin by shedding some light on a couple of local businesses that, although certainly limited by lack of superhuman powers, have not let this get in the way of collaborating to effectively support the most vulnerable communities – and still continue to do so almost exactly one year on.
King donates two tonnes of pet food to Soi Dog Foundation
King donates two tonnes of pet food to Soi Dog Foundation
Friday 5 February 2021, 01:03PM
His Majesty King Maha Vajiralongkorn has donated a large amount of dog and cat food to Soi Dog Foundation – as well as a number of other animal welfare organisations – to mark the birthday of Chao Khun Phrasinat Philas Kalayanee Kalayani, his royal noble consort. The food was presented to Soi Dog and 13 other organisations during a ceremony at the Royal Thai Volunteers Administration Center in Bangkok on January 27. Soi Dog’s generous share was then transported to their shelter in Mai Khao, Phuket on Tuesday (Feb 2). A total of 90 large bags of dog food and 10 bags of cat food – amounting to two tonnes – were gratefully received by Soi Dog whose shelter currently houses over 1,300 animals. The foundation also provides food to stray animal feeders and, where necessary, to animals displaced by disasters, such as the flooding in Nakhon Sri Thammarat late last year. His Majesty also donated food to the nearby Phuket Stray Dog Shelter in Thalang. The shelter – often referred to as the “government dog pound” – is managed by Phuket livestock officials and supported by the Phuket Provincial Office and local administrative organisations. Soi Dog has long provided assistance with the refurbishment of the pound as well as the sterilisation, vaccination and treatment of the dogs housed there. “We highly appreciate the royal food donation,” said Kiranee Narabal, President of Soi Dog Foundation Thailand. “Receiving the donation means that His Majesty is aware of the stray animal problem and recognises our work and the work of other rescue organisations too.” This was not the first time Soi Dog has received such a donation. His Majesty donated pet food to the foundation in July 2017 and May 2019 too. “His Majesty is sending a positive message to all of us, to follow his example, and to show compassion to all animals, in this case the stray dogs,” said co-founder and president of Soi Dog Foundation International John Dalley at the time of the previous donations.  “In doing so, he’s following the wonderful example of his father, who did the same thing. We hope that this will continue.”
