What’s the quickest/easiest way to transport a cat from Khao Lak to Bangkok?
As far as I can see not a single domestic airline allows pets in cabin. I do not want to put her in hold.

I was going to bring her back when she was young. Returned to collect her but she had kittens. Also, after discussing with friends, decided she’s happy in her natural environment. Free to roam.

she’ll be free to roam at home too. When I left her here in April she became miserable, lost a lot of weight. Now I’m back and she’s totally happy again. Doesn’t roam too much either, maybe an hour a day, if thatSU ****
She should stay in Thailand

Ride sharing and pet taxi in Thailand I travelled Koh Phangan to Bangkok with these guys and couldn’t fault it

I had to drive from Krabi to Bangkok for that same reason.

I'm sure any minivan company would take her for the cost of a ticket, just make sure you're there when she arrives in Bangkok.

I will be traveling with her ☺️

My dog and I hired a private driver from BKK to Krabi. 12 hours including stops but fun and beautiful!

may I ask how much that cost?Lee ******

It's a short trip - the hold is Ok, I've done this with cat & dog...everyone's OK...Give the pet a box that is also a safe place to be at home & which works as transit box.
James ***********
Good trip, stay safe.

the thing is I’m flying out of BKK a few days later to Europe (12h flight) and she will be with me in cabin for that. In cabin requires a soft transport bag, so that’s the one I’m getting her used to now 😬

Can you go by bus?

I’m afraid it’s my only option 🙃

yeah I’d already seen that, I don’t want to fly with her unless I can keep her with me in cabin. As far as I can see there’s no airlines that allow that in Thailand, hence my questionActivity
