TLDR : Answer Summary
This post discusses the regulations and procedures for flying with a medical alert service dog from Canada to Bangkok. Key advice includes contacting airlines for specific requirements, understanding Thailand's pet import rules, and ensuring all necessary documents such as health certificates and microchips are in order. Some users shared personal experiences, highlighting that certain airlines, like Singapore Airlines, accommodate service dogs, and mentioned that procedures can vary based on the airline and the dog's size.

I flew my dog from the US into Chiang Mai, Delta and Korean Air. My dog is small and rode in the cabin at my feet. NO quarantine. The requirements were essentially: microchip, vaccines, health certificate within 10 days of flight. And a fee. The airline fee was $200 usd and the import fee was I think 500 baht? Don’t quite remember. Not all airlines allow dogs though, so I’d check first. And I don’t know how the rules change for service dogs.

Rules for dogs flying from Canada are identical to these:

You'll have to check for Canada's rules regarding licensed and registered service dogs flying in the cabin with you.

I know you that you didn’t mention the US but the link will allow for you to select your country on the home page. Best wishes. It’s not too complicated and the flight for the animal should be entirely free. I have two standard poodle service dogs. 🐕‍🦺 We do this and you got this! Enjoy and good luck!

Check with airline. I flew during covid with air canada from montreal to bkk. My small dog was in the cabin with us. Pretty easy and straight forward. Follow the steps on the thai goverment site. No quarantine, dogs was out with us within half an hour.

there's no quarantine to enter with a dog. There is paperwork for importing and exporting.

Singapore Airlines will take suitably qualified Service Dogs.

Animal import permit->Animal control all these can be find and done online. DO NOT purchase your ticket without consul an airline because there’s pet policy and only limited 2 per flight.

Ask your airline

Check with your airline

Step by step directions are on the Thailand website for importing animals.

Beware when you do go out that Thailand has a huge population of feral dogs that will dismember your dog unless protected. Even dogs with owners allow their animals to defecate/urinate on every street in the land whilst wearing a mask against infection!

Probably best contact the appropriate airlines companies to see what regulations they require. I am sure they will know the destination and any transit stops requirements
