Most of the snakes are poisonous, such as cobras, green pit vipers. But then you also have also have big barsteward reticulated pythons getting into homes or gardens, and they will happily eat a chicken or a cat. There are about 40,000 snake invasions a year just in Bangkok, and its getting worse. Gruesomely fascinating. Don't click if you don't have a strong stomach.

Besides some apartments are ground floor, snakes can climb, and Thai housing is not built the same as western. Eg big airbricks in the bathroom.

Probably made a fortune from bitcoin and don't actually work. Hence this idea of taking 6 cats to the othet side of the world. What's that cost, about $12,000 or so?

Thai people are quick to go to the cops about farang they are unhappy with. And any farangs visa status is pretty precarious. I hope they realise they don't actually get to stay in Thailand on a contiguous basis for 4 years, unless they become thai tax payers. Changes are afoot in Thai taxation. Plus everytime you leave Thailand, there's always a theoretical possibility you won't be able to get back in, irrespective of 6 cats being left in a condo to eat each other.

Russians fighting for Putin is a bit like praising Germans for carrying out duties at a concentration camp.

@Pyper ********

Well, Thailand doesn't recognise asylum seekers at all. What he was referencing is parts are full of Russians and Ukrainians avoiding conscription. They aren't seeking asylum but are on extended holiday.

My opinion on transporting animals long distances fir self gratification is that it's cruel. The animals are stressed, and some do die during transport. Some are even lost and never found. And this is just from stats of well run US domestic airlines, let alone dealing with an airport in a developing nation. And no, the airline isn't going to let you bring 6 moggies into the cabin. 1 cat is bad enough, but with 6, there is increased chance one of them won't make it to the LOS.

It's Thailand. The place is full of snakes. My wife's cats are frequently fighting with snakes that get in the home. And then when it rains, it's the rats that come inside.

I'd hate to move to Thailand with a brood of expensive moggies only to struggle to find somewhere to live unless I put them down or abandon them. Thai vets won't euthanize animals, and the place is over run with cats with strange bent tails, so it's going to be tough to rehome them. Find new homes in the US for them. The cats will be OK as they will own some new humans.
