Looking to do a trip to South east Asia but a bit worried about the dog meat trade. Not sure I could handle seeing caged dogs waiting to be cooked.

Anyone been and know whether it's avoidable or not? Mainly looking at Cambodia and Vietnam.

Middle daughter just got back from Cambodia ... said it was brilliant ... she's also done Singapore, Vietnam, Bali - Cambodia was her favourite by some distance - lovely people, fabulous beaches ... and no dog dinners . .

It's really put me off mate . I understand about different cultures etc but eating dogs is just beyond grim to me.

If it can't be avoided I might have to do central Asia instead.

I’d do Central America. You won’t get a thousand recommendations from Fosse for a start.

Yeah everyone I know who's been says Cambodia their favourite too.

That's the main place I want to go really I just thought if travelling that far may as well see a few places and riding a moped through Vietnam looks fun.
 
Yeah Fosse we don't need the same photos posted twice but cheers all the same.

On train mate!!! ... have to resize each too, ya ungrateful bugger! ... plus making sure my daughter ain't in any of them!!!

Her boyfriend is still out there - been there since beginning March - done China, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos and now in Thailand ...

One of my nephews and his gf are half way through a 8 month trip out that way, loving every minute of it, Cambodia a real favourite so far.
