I can recall the amount of strays in Thailand, it was a real issue for me and my dog because we were always in danger if I ever let her out of my sight. That's another issue of having street dogs, dogs that are looked after and are not hardened by the streets are at a huge disadvantage if dogs decide to attack! I think it is specifically because of this that Nadi (my dog) isn't very social and doesn't like other dogs... almost every dog she met in Thailand was aggressive towards her.

I can understand this: My own dogs are rarely allowed out of the yard for the same reason. Even though the dogs that wander aren't always vicious because they would be put down by authorities if they were attacking people, they do tend to become quite territorial as all dogs do. Often it isn't their fault and it is only through a lifetime of neglect and abuse that they have grown afraid of anything that approaches them. It is wise to keep your doggo away from them though because I've seen its size and it doesn't look like Nadee would be able to put up much of a fight.
