His Majesty sends flowers to five year old attacked by dogs in Krabi
His Majesty the King has sent a vase of flowers to a five year old Finnish boy who was attacked and bitten by a pack of dogs at Ao Nang in Krabi on Wednesday afternoon.
The King instructed Captain Khumsup Iamsri, an officer attached to the King’s royal villa, to send the flowers to the boy at the Krabi Nakharin International Hospital in Krabi’s Muang district at 9.30am.
The gracious gift from His Majesty follows visits from city officials, Krabi Governor and, yesterday morning, the Thai PM during a visit to Krabi and Samui.

The boy was covered in bite wounds and screaming in pain when he was rushed to hospital after the attack.
His father, who carried the boy from the beach as he desperately sought help, said he and his two children were on the beach when about five dogs started attacking his son before being chased away by locals. The boy’s father maintains the attacks were unprovoked and vicious.
One of the beach vendors said that dogs had bitten many tourists on the beach before, mostly young children.
Today the boy’s condition has improved to the level that he could sit up on the hospital bed on his own and he appeared less frightened. The wounds on his neck and body continue to heal with no sign of infections, according to attending medical staff.
Doctors say the boy may be discharged in one or two days.
