Well Ok then, I will let you do the packing and feel free to pick any province you like... Happy trails !

Glad to hear that and looks like a really nice building... We'll have to go see what list they are actually using and how much original artist copyright fees I should be requesting if they are indeed using mine ;o)

Would love the see what this handout looks like... Might be the one I typed up in both languages for them, because they did not have any when I was there last, thus the reason I had to go back and forth a few times until we got it all organized and sorted out...

Appreciate all the replies... Just to add to this a bit. Last year I did all of the above mentioned, but in addition to the TM30 form, the Thai Yang office in Petchaburi province also added the TaBian Baan as a last minute requirement, which is the House Blue Book with owner's name on it, so they can cross reference. Having said this, I saw on other posts that a Rental Agreement was used successfully, so would a Lease Rental Agreement be sufficient to avoid having to present the TaBian Baan which was an obvious and highly questionable last-minute request at best?

Moving to another province might be a bit extensive don't you think?

Certifying a dog does not necessarily have to be for the person in question (=the OP), as a certified dog can help anyone in need. Also, as part of the dog's training, he must pass certain tests, which if I remember correctly involves travelling together on public transport, so if he passes the initial behaviour test which is fairly easy, he could possibly fly with you while in training. If that is not an option, 7K is to much... There are many companies that offer dog transportation services so shop wisely and make sure to ask what is included. Can also check with the Airlines as to what they offer for services and who might be their affiliate for such a service. Good luck to the OP and hope this helps. Safe travels!

If you can find a way to get your dog qualify as a Certified Therapy dog, then you both will be able to fly together. Just pick the first seat so to have extra space for your puppy to lay down in front of you and not be disturbed by passengers walking in the aisle. Shoke dee na khrap

Just tried the Grand Adaman Hotel Ranong all number and No answer

@Nigel ********

Thanks for the update... Be nice if someone could confirm this... Also perhaps call either the Adaman Sea Grand hotel in ranong OR the Grand Adaman Island Casino to check. 824?locale=en-XX

Good points... As we all know, there is always a small possibility of meeting the Official that is on the take, but aside from that very slim chance, just giving attention to Thai etiquette in a country where Form often superseeds Substance will go a very long way to make things go smoothly.
