In today’s episode of The World Vegan Travel Podcast, we’re joined by Chrissie Miles, the Visitor and Volunteer Manager at Soi Dog Foundation in Phuket, Thailand. Soi Dog is a nonprofit dedicated to improving the welfare of stray animals across Southeast Asia, and Chrissie plays a key role in coordinating their volunteer programs and welcoming compassionate travelers to the sanctuary.
In our conversation, Chrissie shares what makes Soi Dog such a unique and impactful organization, the challenges and successes they’ve faced in animal rescue and sterilization efforts, and how travelers—especially vegan and conscious travelers—can get involved. We also explore why Phuket is more than just a beach destination, especially for those looking to travel with purpose.
