Cooked meals for dogs are selling well in Kanchanaburi province and one vendor, who previously sold curry and rice, is making as much as Bt1,000 a day.

A 24-year-old food vendor who was arrested on Tuesday morning over his illegal sideline of delivering ketamine, claimed that he had done it because he needed the cash to take care of his young daughter and pay long-overdue instalments on his motorcycle, according to police.
