According to a survey conducted by the Thai Department of Livestock Development in 2016 on dog populations, 750,000 of Thailand's 6.7 million dogs are stray, with the number continuing to rise. It is estimated that there are 100,000 to 300,000 street dogs in Bangkok alone. These animals roam the busy streets, where they are constantly exposed to tough weather conditions, disasters, and ill treatment because they have no one looking after them.

The Thai government recently announced its intention to convert billboards across the country into foldable animal shelters. This simple idea demonstrates that an innovative idea does not have to be elaborate or costly to be effective.
