Traveling South East Asia with Cynophobia.

Hey everyone!

My wife and I are really keen to travel South East Asia, especially Vietnam, Thailand, Taiwan and Indonesia (Sumatra).

She however has Cynophobia (fear of dogs), and a pretty strong one at that. Whenever there is a dog on a leash coming her way, she will move widely around it. And if it's running free, she will immediately turn around and get away or will avoid the place completely.

Now there's the obvious issue that South East Asia has a lot of stray dogs. Can you give any advice how we could still manage to travel those countries, or has anyone some experience which places are good to go and which we should avoid?

Appreciate any advice!

And to answer some questions which I think might come. Yes, all dogs. No your little sweety is not so sweet to her. She understands that it just wants to play, but she's still afraid of it.

I know it is not a phobia which is easy to respect, partly because many people have a dog and can't understand how somebody might be afraid of it. Dogs are everywhere around us, it's not like spiders, they don't usually roam the streets and beaches. So please be respectful and cut such bs like "if she's afraid then she shouldn't go, easy as that, live with it."
