World Rabies Day falls on 28 September, and the theme for 2026 is Stronger Together.
For 25 years we have been vaccinating Koh Phangan’s dogs and cats against rabies, one animal at a time. It has worked. Thanks to this island’s community, Koh Phangan is considered rabies-free.
Why vaccinating against rabies still matters
Rabies is still present in Thailand, and it is almost always fatal once symptoms appear. It is also 100% preventable.
Every vaccinated dog and cat keeps the island’s animals, families and visitors safe.
Stronger together
We cannot think of a better way to describe the last 25 years. None of it would have been possible without you: our donors, our vets, the businesses and the neighbours.
Help us vaccinate for the next 25 years
In our 25th anniversary month, we are asking for one gift: help us carry on vaccinating the island’s animals to protect the next 25 years.
