It sure is cruel to drag pets with sensative ears and smell onto a plane for your enjoyment.

It wasn't that expensive, but I don't really remember how much ... I organized everything myself with the air company and also the documents required to enter Thailand. If you wish you can add me and I can help you through the process.Simone **********

We brought 2 cats in from Canada.
It is a process, expensive for travel and import is a bit of a thing.
You can get all the entry info online and contact the port of entry, for us phuket, to make sure all is good.
