I was wondering if anyone had brought their service (dog) into the country when retiring in Thailand and knows of the policies regarding bringing a service dog or simply a pet into the country?
Does Thailand even recognize service animals?
I realize Thailand already has its share of soi dogs and such, but wanted to ask this question specifically.
If I've misplaced this post on the wrong site, please accept my apology in advance.
Thank you.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The conversation revolves around the requirements and experiences related to bringing service dogs or pets into Thailand for retirees. Participants emphasize the importance of proper documentation, including vaccination records, and suggest consulting local veterinarians and Thai Embassy for specific requirements. It is noted that procedures may be similar for both service animals and regular pets, although additional documentation for service dogs may be necessary. Various personal experiences highlight that many have successfully brought their pets into Thailand without issues, while the requirements might vary depending on the pet's country of origin.
