One of the best destinations in the whole world where tourists are next to god is Thailand.If you want to roam around Thailand it is suggested to rent a SUV. Cars can be shipped, but it is very expensive. A more practical solution for getting wheels in Thailand is to rent, lease or buy your own car. Buying a car is around 10% more expensive than in Europe or the USA.
Scattered throughout Thailand are ancient walled temples and huge elaborate ancient temples and also Elephants. Elephants are worshiped, rented, labored and are a major Tourist attraction. Chang (Elephant) is the national animal of Thailand. It is only recently now that the Government banned buying and selling of elephants to other nationalities. The government has identified many such indigenous Thai animals and has regarded them as Endangered. So when you go to Thai enjoy the experience of being with the rarest of the fauna family.

So when you are enjoying the exotic Pattaya beaches, or the beauty of Bangkok, or the largest Island Phuket, if you miss your catty or doggie, don’t you worry? You can get your pets into Thailand and make your international move more exiting. You just have to follow certain protocols.
- Obtain an authorization to import your pet by air. This can be done at the Don Muang International Airport in Bangkok.
- You will have to pay an import duty. But the Import duty is exempted if your pet will be Thai for more than 6 months.
- Identity certificate signed in country of origin by a registered veterinarian, describing age, breed, sex, color, etc. of your pet
- Leptospirosis vaccination certificate- at least 21 days prior to departure.
- Rabies vaccination certificate- your pet must be vaccinated at least 15 days before departure.
- There are some viruses in Thailand that UK animals are not exposed to. Take professional advice about this matter. Basically what is needed is medication to protect a dog from heart worm (it is the biggest dog killer in Thailand, and something to protect from tick-borne diseases.
And if you fall for the myth that you can find white elephants in Thai, you would be wasting your time and money on all the bogus tourist guides of Thai.
