Can I bring my pet cat on internal flights in Thailand from Phuket to Bangkok?

You can but you must purchase a separate seat for each animal.

This is stunning how many people answering don't know what they are talking about, or are obvious cat haters. I suggest you join pet owner groups like Bangkok Pet Lovers where you'll get actual helpful advice.

Just get a new 1 wen u get there

No pets in the main cabin on domestic flights in Thailand

Real or fake?

I have a cat, goes flawless. important: the box needs to have underseat dimensions (max. 40x30x20cm), the pet needs to be lighter than 8kg, and - important - the pet needs to be chipped, plus its paperwork (international vaccination certificate including chip number).

Friend flew back a few months ago. The shot they gave his dog to relax it, killed it.

You should contact the airlines and check their Pet rules and requirements

Yes, we did it with 3 dogs and 2 cats on the same flight from Bangkok to Chiang Mai.
