A professional colleague has advised me that approx 2-3 days ago, there was a death of a middle aged person from Rabies, after having been bitten by a local "Soi "dog.
Whilst this may be an isloated case it does highlight that fact that rabies is present here in Thailand and anyone whonis bitten by a dog who hasnt been vaccinated, particualrly a street / soi dog, then they do need to have a medical assessment.
A friendly reminder to us all, to have as a minimum an in-date tetanus shot.
