Saterday, June 2nd 2012. As my staff told me.

Till when she is ready. There are no set rules.

That's too much.

Rabies vax about 70 - 80 baht.
5-in-1 vax about 300 baht.
Taking blood sample for serological rabies testing in registered lab in EU and turning it into a serum about 300 baht.
Sending the serum to the lab with EMS about 1,000 baht
Fee registered lab 50 Euro.
Microchip i don't know. About 500 baht?

Also read the following threat and contact those people who have just send their animals to the UK or are in the process of doing so: http://www.thaivisa....12-with-2-dogs/

Also contact Soi Dog Foundation in Phuket. They have just send about 6 dogs to the UK via the mainland. Seems to be cheaper.

Hi John,

I've tried the phone the number you gave here above a few times, but it says the phone is not connected.

I've also sent you a pm, but no reply.

Are you sure you were serious with your post?

I was reacting to what you wrote. I don't know 'very very well' as I haven't a clue who you are, and I didn't see your 'like' when I replied to your post.

But to be fair to you, there is a hidden agenda ... I have difficulty with people who are complaining about how bad 'the Thai ' care for their dogs and cats, while at the same time the shelter in our own countries are overfull. Don't know figures about western Europe but in the States MILLIONS of dogs are euthanized per year, because people 'luv them so much and take such good care of them'.
Not to mention the animal abuse that occurs (or 'occurred', hopefully. This year it was the first time they had 2 vets checking the dogs. And a few were kicked out due to too severe hereditary defects. among others, the best in show of the year before. ) at dog shows such as the world-famous Crufts.
And how about those dogs and cats in our countries that are so horribly fat, they can't walk anymore and hardly breath. Also THAT is animal abuse.

There are now laws in some states in America that makes undercover filming of the most appalling situations and abuse in large livestock factories a crime for which the ones, who wants to bring this into the open can, go to jail ... long term. For crying out loud!
France that wants more livestock factories, and thus much more suffering for the animals involved... by the thousands.
A Spanish king that thinks killing elephants is fun.
And then, bestiality. Read the other day a report on that. Too disgusting for words, and it occurs more than one may think.

It also goes indirect through the (very fast) destruction of the wild animals habitat, because we (westerners) still think having hard wood (such as teak) in our houses is so beautiful. If I remember well, Holland (where I come from) is nr. 3 on the list of consumers of hardwood.


That doesn't mean I condone the neglect and abuse of animals in Thailand, or think we should close our eyes because of what happens in our own countries.
I just have difficulties with the generalizations, as there are quite some Thai people who do care, and act accordingly.
