Without going to the ‘Soi Dogs Foundation’ to hear them cursing and swearing about it - their reasons may not be the same as mine.
What measures are being taken to address this issue?— You tell me how?
Let’s listen to reasons from a native Thai about your question:-for the high number of stray dogs in Thailand and why.

1. Buddhism: Many Thais like my Dad did it first by releasing our dog (my dog that had the temper of a wolf he killed all our ducks and chicks and bit scores of strangers including a policeman) onto the temple ground rather than putting them down, ignoring our tearful cry. But my dog had a super brain- he miraculously walked back after a month trailing my Dad’s car… So my siblings and I were overjoyed and danced all night. My dad decided to keep him until Zap (our dog) passed and vowed not to do such an act.
5. Street Dog Adaptability: like father like son, stray dogs in Thailand have adapted well to urban and rural environments alongside the homeless people— even Covid-19 crept in —so what? You can’t touch me- every homeless person lived on, so were all the dogs.
Thailand has a high population of stray dogs due to several underlying reasons:
2. Lack of Strict Animal Laws: This allowing stray and free-roaming pet dogs to reproduce and gave birth while unchecked—only for the public to rush to buy lottery numbers. Unwanted puppies are often left at temples, markets, or public places they grow up to become a tramp waiting for the Lady or a kind-hearted princess to adopt them.
NGOs and volunteer groups aim to catch and put the dogs to sleep— All hell breaks loose - everyone stands up “Over my dead body” from market vendors, monks, and kind-hearted Thais all over the country.
6. Where to get food? Temple, being looked after by monks‘ daily food by going on an "alms round" food or from markets, garbage, and kind-hearted people give them food and allow them to survive better than pet dogs.
