A volunteer has been hailed for building a 'refugee camp' for stray dogs in the flood-ravaged parts of Thailand
A volunteer builds ‘refugee camp’ for abandoned dogs who were almost killed in devastating floods in Thailand
Sitthichai Ekkapan, a photographer from Ubon Ratchathani, decided to built makeshift tents after he came across abandoned dogs in the northeast parts of the country.
Thailand’s Ubon Ratchathani, Yasothon, Roi Et and Si Saket provinces were inundated with water as deep as four metres after tropical storms Podul and Kajiki ripped through the region, killing at least 33 people two weeks ago.

Ekkapan has since been helping with the flood-relief work.
‘Just seeing them [dogs] come to live in the house and have a slightly better living condition has made me happy,’ he wrote in a Facebook post on Sunday.
He has been building the tents using donated discarded items such as wood, vinyl, hoardings and wire.
In a series of posts since September 20, Ekkapan said he hasn’t sought any donation, but some people have voluntarily donated items such as solar batteries for the cause.
The pictures posted by him showed dogs have been well-feed and resting in tents.
Ekkapan said he won’t stop until he finds shelter for all the marooned and abandoned dogs.

Please help to support BangkokJack News through these troubled times... Poor government reaction to the COVID virus has left many, including some who rely upon us, in very difficult positions.
And still we try to deliver the REAL news to you on a daily basis. But this all comes at a cost and as tourism has dried up and with expats going home whenever they can, income streams and ad revenue is also drying up.
And this is why we appeal to our tens of thousands of readers to help out however you can - to keep us independent and opinionated.
Just Bt100 per month makes all the difference and will keep some of us in noodle soup for a day.
Alternatively please click on the advert each time you read a story and that will boost our ad revenue, at no cost to yourself.
Thank you so much to those who already do support us. It means a lot to everyone.
