In Thailand a pet is classified as a domestic animal which means an animal raised and fed with food and water by humans. Pet travel laws can be affected by exceptional outbreaks of diseases. Recent examples are Avian Influenza (the H5N1 strain of bird flu) and Foot and Mouth Disease.

The Department of Livestock Development in Bangkok is the official contact for the import and export of animals and the website should be checked for up-to-date requirements.

Department of Livestock Development, Bureau of Disease Control and Veterinary Services

Contact a local vet for advice on all requirements for pets to travel to Thailand as well as any export requirements in the home country.

Hi,
I couldn't help but notice your experience with baseball. I am moving to Chiang Mai in July 2011 with an 11-year-old who is obsessed with baseball. Only problem - there seems to be NO baseball in Chaing Mai or Thailand for that matter. Have you thought about coaching? We very much want to continue his talent for the sport after we move there. Please stay in touch.

u r likely to have a lot of problems with the way u r thinking, here in cm.  i am thinking u won't last long.

@ cecco - your comments doesn't help anyone!

I don't know what helps and doesn't anymore.  I went to a dinner run by the brits at Mercure in Night Bizarre.  Their solution to the problems of the North were to involuntarily incorporate the hill tribes in thai society.  That's a winning idea.

Now, i will post some photos of the tour buses tourists ride, and the Burmese encampment by the airport, in case u allowed them to be posted.

Then the prices for tourists where rodang's tell them the fare is 150 baht, where the maximum price is 20 baht.  And the yellow cars charge prathed seecow 20 baht, instead of 10.

And the Riverside restaurants and gated communities for the NGO's and Christians, not to mention the International School and it's special privileges not availed to Chiang Mai families.  Chiang Mai even has a 5 baht Doctor bill NGO.

And tailors, charging 10,000 baht for a lesser quality pair of cashmere pants that I pay 1200 baht, and I am 125 kilos.

And what about that woman who said she lived in the USA and spoke great English at the New Years celebration on Prathu Thapae, and she kept calling prathed seecow, "farang," over and over and over, but referred to the "Thai" as "prathed thai," and "khon thai."  She even spoke with a small amount of respect when referencing the hill tribes and called the mountain tribes hill tribes, at least she didn't call them "Kohn paa."

How many chao  tarng prathed and chao tarng chat know that the slang alternative by which they should be addressed would be:  "prathed" rather than "farang?" people think that "farang" is "foreigner" rather than a green round fruit known as a guava, and literally, a "fruit to be peeled."  But, I am now teaching them that a person that calls you a "farang" can be a "di-moon, supparote, or kohn paa (which they love)."

I had a very rough day today!  My Lisu-shi wife won't come back, and I love her, and it's not safe to go to Ban Sow Dang or Ban Watchan now, and how do i explain that to tourists! and Thai's have utter contempt for mountain people, so getting help is like a dream, and her mom is a "manager of people" in "Had Yai," and that we can't talk about either!  The Lisu want me to buy her a HOUSE in BanWatChan and a new motorcycle (which she is afraid to ride) if she will come back.  Is that a deathwish or what from the woman I love, for me  of course!  I even told friends to offer them 100,000 baht, but I already sent 160,000 baht to the mtn and they say they got nothing, and and and .. oh, i had a great day today.  it's these malay and korean guys and tourists who come and buy our wives when we are not looking thru had yai and malaysia connections and we lose our wives, because their mom's work with people with money for toys they throw away at 30.  and we love them, and we can't teach the tourists anything

Hi cecco,

You are completely off topic! Next time i will moderate.

Thank you very much for your comprehension,

Best regards,
