Hey! 🙂 Did anyone travel recently (or in general) with a cat to Thailand from Europe? I am crazy for considering it?

People travel with their pets international all the time. I think the main consideration is if your pet will handle the stress. E.g environment, detachment

Ooh I'd be keen to hear more about this as well

Indonesia and South Africa are nearly impossible and I wouldn't even try unless you are moving there

The people that are renting our house in Bali brought their dogs from South Africa to Indonesia, it cost multiple arms and several legs to make happen lmao

that's actually illegal, which is why it's so expensive ... and dangerous for your pets. they may not survive

I spent three months in thailand with my two dogs (traveling from europe) but in 2016 – it’s probably still the same though

beyond all documentation, just keep in mind that pets are not allowed in condos all over thailand

Hi guys, what are some of the most pet and digital nomad friendly places? Anyone has experience with bali? Do they steal dogs there too like in vietnam?

You can import pets to Indonesia but it costs ludicrous money from what I've heard and there is a chance someone might steal your dog especially if it looks like it's not from Indonesia.

Don't think you can take dogs to Bali legally actually. I stay around Europe mostly because it's good for my dogs, didnt have great experiences with them in SE Asia

Not directly no, you have to import them through Jakarta and take them across on the ferry. This is a several day process. World not recommend.

Import a dog on a tourist visa? Hard to imagine

Pets are nearly impossible in Indonesia and South Africa. Most of Europe is super easy, Central America isn't too hard - coming in and out of Mexico can take a little time, but it's not hard.

Okay. Thanks for info. Mexico maybe. Im looking for a warm place with beach and nature with reasonable prices

Mexico is quite ok for dogs, but you can’t take them on a leash in public transportation

You can smuggle dogs/cats in but if they get caught they may get killed. Bad place for pets kinda. Thailand better!

sheesh crazy. but thailand is difficult for long term stay. Im out of SEA

I find friends/family to watch my cat while I'm staying somewhere else if it's more than a 6 hour drive away or if I'm not going to stay in the place for more than a couple weeks. He doesn't really like traveling much and I feel it's more fair to him for him to be settled somewhere. I have a friend who has driven her cat cross country multiple times! I am sure my cat could do that too with plenty of longer stops along the way… also JetBlue let's you fly with your pet in a carrier.

FWIW, I brought a dog and two cats to Thailand (Koh Lanta).

Just saw this U026NGU14B1!! She's so big now!

lol just looking at this crew makes me want to take a nap 😻

They're very detrimental to my productivity

Try at Helpthedogfly website platform wish u luck!

Thanks for sharing!

Im also considering thailand right now. Was it easy? What was the process like?

Lots of paperwork but doable. Make sure you fly WITH your cats/dogs otherwise you need to go into the Free Trade zone (???) at airport and spend 36 hours running around offices to get stamps from 20 different offices and nobody speaks English. I did this for 2 Korean cats.

You cant take them on public transport is killer criteria. How you want to get around.

Taking 2 uk cats and a shiba to Thailand was easy. But it's a one way trip for them. Airpets handled it all for us. It's their new permanent base. They drove them from bkk to ko lanta as well. Very happy animals, highly recommended. Not cheap though

nfusomqeigxobi good point, didn't consider they can't go on BTS

Hi All - Im planning to relocate with my pet for the first time. We are travelling from vietnam to europe. There will be multiple stops on our journey. He is 6KG but not all airlines allow pet in cabin. Would love to talk to anyone who has experience and give some tips on what to consider when relocating. My goal is to book a flight via singapore and then fly with swiss airlines to europe. he can be in cabin with swiss airlines

make sure to get all the paperwork in order (rabies vaccines and likely serology test for VN)

yes its indeed quite stressful. my two options are transit through bangkok or singapore. I cant imagine him staying in a small box alone for that long. he starts crying even after 20 minutes. I could see him for a short flight out of vietnam but not Intercontinental.

turkish allows onboard pets

Hi! 🙂 Anyone knows good pet (cat in my case) health insurance? Something that will work at least around Europe.

Have you tried Fetch by The Dodo?

Any cat sitters in London? Our cat sitter just bailed on us 5 days before our honeymoon to Bali. August 17-September 11

_Post covid travelling with dog?_ Anyone bring their dog into Thailand post / during covid? Are there any restrictions based on the visa you have?

I believe luei might know something about that.

oygtgowkfrb Brought our dog and 2 cats to thailand from UK using a transport company. No restrictions I'm aware of based on our visas, no.

I think still impossible to fly with pets domestically due to covid

bzdfsdzprw How sure are you? I've seen dogs flying domestically here, and nok air just launched a dog-in-cabin option BKK->Chiang mai.

I had cats last year and we couldn't fly w them domestically cuz covid. We tried all carriers.

ghbi how does your dog handle street dogs? Has he been attacked?

ekocvtjojjr No issues with soi dogs on ko lanta. They're all neutered and rabies vaccinated. They're also very friendly generally. No pack mentality like you see elsewhere.
She's been attached once; Ironically by a small pack of owned dogs on the beach. The owners really should know better, but they're notorious for it.
Since then we've avoided that area of the beach in the evening and those dogs in general and she's been fine.
