- Niall Harbison, founder of one of Ireland's best known media brands has quit corporate life to save dogs on the tropical island of Koh Samui, Thailand. Dog lover Niall says he hates to see dogs suffering so he has taken it upon himself to feed and give medicine to the many stray dogs in the rural areas of the island. We went with Niall and documented some of what he does in one day. Niall is a gentleman and I very much admire what he's doing on Samui. Pleasure to meet you Niall and best of luck. #thairishtimes #kohsamui #streetdogsinthailand

God bless you. I was rescuing in casablanca. Now I'm rescuing street dogs in spain and the galgos and podencos from the hunters. I've been doing it over 20 years. Bless you x
Whoever takes care of innocents in need is a legend to me. That's actually the most impactful thing you can do on earth.
Well said 🙏🙏
What an awesome guy. Lucky there is people in the world like Niall 🙏❤🐕
Absolutely Connie
I love dogs. I have never cried for a human dying, but when my dog died I cried for days.
All dogs go to heaven..
Well done Niall, great to see someone cares.
We feed the dogs around our place, it breaks my heart seeing so many stray dogs here, shame there aren’t more people like you.
Fair play to you also Tony
Niall is the best! I feed soi cats every day as well. So many suffering animals in Thailand.
This man goes to heaven.
For sure
Great video Pete. Fantastic work by Niall. I’ve set up a monthly donation to help those doggos
That’s brilliant Nat. Thanks you so much
Your. real man Nial respect to you thank you so much for helping these soi 🐕 dogs showing them love the world needs more people like you
They are such beautiful dogs....thank-you for helping them...
Just sent Niall a donation and will give him a shout when I get back to Thailand in November - see if I can help out. Thanks for highlighting his work!
Fair play to you Martin 🙏
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍🏻👍🏻🐕🐕Thanks! to help these dogs. Thai peoples believe in karma, you will get a good life now or your next life.
Lovely video! Donated! Nice guy!
Brilliant!! Well done and thanks Petter🙏🙏
There is a registered charity already doing this in Koh Samui called Dog and Cat Rescue Foundation Samui. They spay and neuter, give vaccinations, feed thousands of dogs, care for the sickest animals on the island. please consider donating to the root cause.
So glad to hear that he is not only giving them food and medical attention, but is also spaying and neutering them! That is wonderful news, and will help solve the problem in the long run. Great interview!
Hiya Pete and Nune, what a top bloke. That is so true. Not all heroes wear capes. Niall to help so many is amazing. Great previous jobs. Nice interview. Have a great weekend.
Top bloke indeed Nicky. Thanks for watching 🙏
@@ThairishTimes Love your channel, mate. Meant to say. Have a great week.
Didn’t finish the video yet but as I Thai living abroad I’m surprised there are still plenty of stray dogs everywhere! With all the modernisation in material aspects, fancy buildings, shopping malls etc that the lack of education in dealing with stray dogs is so so high! I also don’t think being Buddhist is an excuse for this problem. Japan and many Buddhist countries don’t have this problem. I hope this gets solved soon, come on Thailand. I do love dogs and I admire him for looking after them. But the Thais have to change their way on this. Thanks Pete!!
Thanks Jim, you are so right
God bless Niall xx
Great job 👏 🐕
What a fella brilliant there's a fella on koh phangan been doing same thing great people the world needs
Great to know there are good people doing great work out there
Respect
Pete, really enjoying your content, nothing like most Thai channels. I find you topics quit interesting.
Thank you very much 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Great video Pete. Bless this man and his work.
I love dogs more than people.
As a dog lover myself I take my ha off to Niall 🙏🏼 and to you too Pete, even thoug I'm not the one wearing any hat 😁, great vid.
😂😂😂
Greetings from Kent England. I've just become your new subscriber after watching this vlog. As a dog lover myself (have a golden retriever), I'm so grateful to Niall for his selfless service to the poor doggies in Thailand which is my birth place. I regularly donate unfortunate dogs in the middle east. Thank you for sharing and will continue following your channel 🙏
Thanks for the support mate. Glad you liked the video
I always feed the animals when i am in Thailand...one chicken for me and 2 chickens for Them...
bless his heart, top video, Pete. it shows that you deliver quality, not quantity. i mean you can't be interviewing every Tom, Dick and Harry (of CZcams) just because they are on YT..... good on you. Irish power is very much alive in Thailand. it's nice to see you recording great people & stories like this ☘️☘️
Glad you liked it. It's stories like Niall's that make creating content for YT worthwhile. The man is an unsung hero
Great video
Wonderful work Niall
Geez! Some fantastic people out there who are genuinely just good guys.
Very down to earth.
Some amazing humans out there.
Thx Pistol Pete!
Love it!
🇹🇭🐘🇭🇲🙏B
You’re very welcome mate. It’s nice to show the good guys
Where do Thailand's stray dogs get water? People seem to feed them but the dogs must be more in need of a drink..
water is certainly an issue especially in dry season. They get water it just wasn't shown on camera
Pleasant chap, good video:)
He’s one of the good guys
Fair play to him, a bit out of left field, but sure looking after the pooches is as honourable a pursuit as any other. Guaranteed happiness lies in knowing your daily pursuit benefits others. Lovin Dublin was a great online magazine in the day too!
It’s a cool story and I think Niall can make a huge difference on Samui. You should google his name. There’s loads online about him (Ted Talks, articles in the Irish Times) he was taking his dog to the office back in Dublin. Fantastic stuff
What a kind man Niall and wishing all the best. Thank you for caring about stray dogs. BTW the donorbox link has got 404 error!!
Thank you Pete for highlighting this issue.
Oh thanks. CZcams love to kill links😩
I highly considered doing this myself in Costa Rica, but then I realized that unless I was catching, spay and neutering - that feeding them was actually contributing to the problem. Its a shitty situation.
Yeah it's a tough one cos it's hard to see them go hungry and suffer and not provide food
i love you guys!!!!
☺️☺️☺️
Top lad
Absolutely
What a champ Niall is! There are so many paths in life. He decided to turn in this direction, making the world a little better 🙏🏼 Lots of respect ! 😁
Also, Pete! it does sound you are Dutch when you started the video with; "what's the Schtory" 😜
Nice one Chai, that’s the Irish “h” we put in Shhhhhtory
Good man Niall, the dogs are lucky to have him!
Absolutely Joe
haha no way the founder of Lovin Dublin! Really loved this one and so much admiration for Niall. What a nice guy and a great way to spend a life :) Cheers Pete
That’s right Derek. I saw a story in the Irish Times about Niall a month or two ago and got in touch with him. He’s doing a great job and a sound fella too
You are a hero!
He is indeed
Another great video Pete, keep them coming
Thanks Paul🙏
Nice shtory!
Great video Pete, highlighting the plight of the street dogs.
Glad you enjoyed it
He should open his own vet to cut the costs down. Once he hires 2-3 vets that help with neutering and other medical issues that'll be a big decrease in his costs
Good idea, Niall has grown a major media organization in Ireland. He’s a very good business head on his shoulders. It’ll be really interesting to see how he scales this
Niall is a gem. Great video. thx
Wow. This guy is a hero! I always think its a shame about the soi dogs in Thailand. When i retire there i want to help.
Your help will be appreciated Joel. Niall plans to build and develop what he's doing so more dogs can be helped
Niall - a totally good man . Well done!
Absolutely
Thanks for the neutering program. The real answer xx
Indeed, thanks for watching
Great guy doing something worthwhile for the island. He could set up a similar clinic as the charity on koh lanta Island. They accept graduate vets from many countries and do all the de-sexing of dogs and cats. Lots of volunteers go there
An absolute gentleman
Great story thanks for share 😀👍❤️
You’re welcome Dorte 🙏🙏
Legend Status 🏅 for this man ...
For sure
Keep on going 👑
✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻
Great interviews ,you are good, thanks
Thanks ☺️
great story and reminded me of snatch with how many times you said dogs in irish accent 555
If you’re looking for a caravan I might know a fella
Keep up the good work Pete
Just did a little more digging on Niall > absolutely phenomenal background.... there's a Ted Talk out there as well from 2013 > check that 1 out too.
Absolutely, Niall certainly does have a really interesting background
@@ThairishTimes > makes Samui look like an even better option to relo > he sure could use some help & K9/animal welfare def in my wheel house...where my roots were even prior to Human Rights focus that begin a little over a Decade ago > at least K9's have no problem expressing Their gratitude for Your efforts
Interesting video Pete,Niall’s a good bloke doing great work
He’s a top fella. Thanks for watching 🙏
He’s a top fella. Thanks for watching 🙏
This is Barbara Briodin writing from the City of the Angels, Los Angeles, CA. Waiting for episode two. Three, four
..ad infinitum. Wanted to visit at home with Snoop and Jumbo. Looking forward to visit with Minnie after her surgery. I think her unique teeth and smile might be related to Boxer breed. Have been following Niall for last few months, maybe when he was getting more officially started on this mission. I am a beginning DONORBOX donor for Niall and dogs, pray for him and his dogs daily. Was glad to hear he is looking for a building to assist his endeavors. And people! As foreigner, you can obtain many years lease on Thai rental land, put your own buildings on it. You cannot buy land. Maybe that could change. Government should be willing to help fund. Niall is doing huge service to the country. My mother's relatives/ancestors are from Old Ross, near Wexford. Waterford. Want to see Niall establish a compound where he can also live, and have dogs, adopt them to people who are fully vetted and instructed in proper care. Thanks, Pete. But I wanted more of this story. Have to go walk Fiona-Bronwen (girl Border Collie) and Milo (boy Australian Shepherd) on the mean streets of L.A. before bedtime, and hope they leave me a space on bed. Thank you!
Come to think of it, back to Miss Minnie's unique teeth, maybe Pekingnese or Chihuahua on the family tree?
Thanks for supporting Niall and your lovely message here Barbara
What's the story Pete. Niles is an awesome guy, taking care of the soi dogs on Samui. Wish I could do the same! Another great video mate!
Thanks dude 🙏🙏
Great video!
i was a dog lover myself since i was a baby
dogs always around me growing up
but when i started to live in Thailand full time
my love for dogs is completely gone
dogs are not pets here...
nice vid, hope u can also help feature tmtrd / the man that rescues dogs (they are near bangsaen) in the near future too, they are also trying to grow their YT channel and it will certainly help in the long run.
I’ll check them out thanks
Amazing guy!! I’m a huge dog lover and that’s the one thing that always gets to me when I visit Thailand. A matter of face the only reason I haven’t moved to Thailand is it’s been impossible to get my dog there from America.
Niall took his dog from Ireland to live in Thailand. I hope you can figure out a way to get your doggie over
I have heard that you can get a dog on a plane if you get a doctor to certify it is a therapy dog. I know some people who did this with Singapore airlines this month. If you can convince a doctor that your dog is therapeutic to you.😀
There are foreign organizations who move about Asia and routinely desex dogs and cats however I believe that paused during the pandemic.😀
I love people who shun that "Keep up with the Joneses" life and get back to basics. Its one reason I love Isaan country so much . Iife can be soo simple and more enjoyable when we dont get bogged down in material shite. Go the irish accent Nune.
Nune’s Irish accent will feature a lot in the next one Ian. It’s been awhile since she’s been in an episode
Did he meet up with the Swedish Chef guy , they should team up. 😊
You Sir have booked your place a great seat in the next life. God will reward you for this brilliant work.
Absolutely Pat
Great video man. I'm a big fan of the amazing job that Niall is doing out there.
It's a very different culture there. A neighbor in my wife's village in Ubon had an old, practically blind, lame dog. The poor dog had a really crap quality of life. I offered to pay for the dog to be humanely euthanised by a vet. The owner was shocked and i think offended. The Buddhist ethos of not killing living things is alien to us.
I’ve seen a few blind and lame dogs too. I saw one that was totally blind and all it could do was sleep under a chair all day. There was a two year old child in the house that would constantly annoy it. A terrible way to live out a life
i always saw this and notice it all over Thailand and always wondered what it take to get something working like how the UK has the RSPCA
Yeah I’ve often wondered that too. Let’s hope Niall can build something up on Samui
@@ThairishTimes would love to see the rivers in Bangkok get cleaned too, im always scared if i fall in i die from how dirty they are ☣
I've got 3 dogs one is blind the other is toothless, not my dogs my dog is my buddy, being bit 3 times, not cheap, makes me sad wheh I c the dogs starving here 😢
Enjoyed the vlog Pete nines doing a fantastic job take care stay safe mate 👍
🙏🙏🙏
Could you do an interview with 30 and a wake up. He mentioned you today in his live show. He is in Pattaya.
Tell him to give me a shout if he’s in Bangkok
There s a guy in sattahip who takes care of hundreds of dogs ,when I first saw him I thought he was a chimney step he was black, then I found out what he did wow everyday he's out looking in bins to recycle to feed the dog's he drives everyday looking for a way to feed em
I understand why this post, truly..... Would it be possible for you to post on CZcams yourself at all, to show your day to day....... I admire you crazy for being in a place to do what you're doing with that Big heart, for all those precious souls (humanity really need to wake up to how animal s are able to teach us!!!). I must say , this post didn't really portray what you're doing & it mad me a little depleted for the mission you're on.... STAY THE COURSE YOU 💪 👊 ...... 🤗
Hey Carmel we've a video coming up with just myself and my wife Nune
The link didn’t park for donations
I just spoke to Niall and got it sorted. It works now 🙏
@@ThairishTimes thanks
WHERES THE WATER BUCKETS???????????THE DOGS NEED WATER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!ARE THE DOGS FIXED ?????????????????
They get water
I need help please
Could someone please send me the link to donate?
Thanks
Dogs are ok but thailand could sort the problem out tbf.
An enormous undertaking on so many levels. It requires dedication - education of locals - help from the government - a lot of time - money and energy. Then it would be his ultimate goal to have his efforts rewarded by seeing a reduction in the amount of stray dogs. However, it will require a concerted effort by the powers that be and some ability for the local people to carry out say the neutering of dogs not least the feeding and caring of dogs. Burnout is real in these endeavors. I wish him luck.
True It’s a huge undertaking. I can see Niall is passionate and has the business experience to get something up and running. I’d back him
He needs to make Bitcoin an option for donations
First dog is afraid you are salting it.
Niall put flea powder on that dog. Yes the dog may have been scared but it will benefit in the long run
@@ThairishTimes I was joking!
How do you keep from getting fried by the sun there? Even with sunblock, it seems like pale people like you and me would fry!
Hats and copious amounts of sunblock. Between 12am-4pm I make sure to stay out of the sun. It’s easy to do in Bangkok but much harder outside the city
Is there some reason he's not doing something to have them spayed or neutered..? Feeding them is amazing but it only strengthens them and they'll procreate, thereby magnifying the real problem, the population.
Agree. So you would do both. The real key to what Nile is doing is that he is feeling and showing compassion. Also it is a good example for people😀
@@graerindley6312 I understand what he's doing and I sincerely commend him, but at some point, the leaking boat is going to continue to fill until it's sinks, so you must fix the hole.
11:32 “the biggest part of what I’m doing is neutering and spaying them so they don’t have puppies”
😻maybe raise funds to spay/neuter dem???
If you truly care for these dogs, please feed them meat and not dyed dry food, give them plenty of buckets of water and hopefully you can neuter the males, spay the females.
Better idea to put them down
I want to comment on this, I like people who help animals, but do you help dogs then eat pork, beef or chicken or whatever? I mean or drink milk. Then you are a speceitist. One species is not worth more than the other. All animals/ fish feel pain. Dont be a hypocrite and go vegan!
Great video
