'I feed about 650 now every day through volunteers and I’m trying to build it up in to something a lot bigger across Thailand.'
A Co Tyrone native who sold businesses for millions is now looking after stray dogs on a Thai island - after he said he nearly drank himself to death.
After a move to the Thai island of Koh Samui two years ago, he said he went on a drinking rampage that landed him in ICU for three days. “I nearly drank myself to death, literally ended up in the ICU in the hospital and it was kind of a life-changing moment.“It’s a kind of a cliche but it was life flashing before my eyes almost.Having turned his back on alcohol, Niall says he realised he needed something to be passionate about and helping to feed the thousands of dogs on Koh Samui was that.
“It’s hard to understand unless you’ve been here, they’re hanging outside the shop and the pub and it’s very hard to get your head around.“I live on Koh Samui, a small enough island and there are 10,000 stray dogs on this one island alone - they’re everywhere.”
