Reader question: Experiences with taking a dog to Thailand

By Editorial
Posted in Reader question

18 August 2013

Dear Thailand bloggers

Who has experience with taking a dog (in my case 2 mini dogs) on the plane to Thailand?

I am aware of the rules (via NVWa and the Thai embassy), but I am curious about experience stories.

For example, how do/do you do that at Schiphol and at Suvarnabhumi?

They go in the cabin as hand luggage.

Thnxx in advance for your response, also on behalf of Kara and Dewi

    we are also planning to bring our little dog
    There has been a poll about this before.
    Your question will be answered there. Honestly, I've never heard of letting your dog into the cabin.
    I am crazy about my beesie but that he is not allowed in the cabin.
    I understand that. If everyone did that it would be a complete crazy house I think

    Hello, if you take the dogs with you as hand luggage there is nothing wrong, just check in and when you arrive in Thailand you have to go to the vet, there you submit the papers from the NVA and vet from the Netherlands and there you have to pay about 300 Bht .

    Then to customs and there you have to pay again 500 Bht per dog [depending on the type of dog] and then you can enter Thailand.

      Hi I didn't know, I've never seen it either
      Always thought animals had to be in the cargo hold at all times.
      I still find it strange. Now I have a very quiet animal of my own
      (bless them all) But my son has one that goes on and on.
      If I have to sit next to that for 11 hours. Then I jump half way out of the plane.
      I understand that you use that option.
      So I quickly weighed mine 6 kilos and 250 grams.
      I thought he was getting a bit fat. Maybe he just needs to diet a little.
      But like I said it's a very quiet animal

    Oh yes, you have to pay for the dog at Schiphol per dog min, 200 Euro depending on the weight of the dog.

    hi kara and dewi
    I have taken my dogs to Thailand perhaps +\- 15 times
    It's nothing but you need to know how it works
    You have to bring the dogs at Schiphol to the extraordinary dimensions department, which is also where security comes to see if everything is okay
    In Bangkok you have to register your dogs for the import permit, which costs 100 bath
    You do this in the office on the ground floor when you walk to the exit where the customs office is also located.
    Then you have to go to the far right and then walk back 50 meters if you have the papers in order, then that is 10 minutes, then you go back to the customs office on the far left, it will cost you 1000 bath.
    Save this invoice so you can show it next time so you don't have to pay anymore
    When you return home, you must obtain an export permit 3 days before you leave
    And then comes the fun part: you do all that paper for nothing, in the Netherlands/Germany no one looks at your papers, you just walk outside.
    If I put a turtle in my crate, they don't notice
    They checked my passport once, but not the dog, and they didn't know what to look at
    I once asked why do I do all that paperwork for
    But you never know
    If you want to know more let me know
    Greetings Rob

    Only allowed via KLM and only dogs not heavier than 6 kg incl. bench, previously Evaair also allowed dogs in the cabin, but they no longer do that.

    Gosh I didn't know that dogs are also allowed in the cabin.. Very special. My step dad allergic would break out in sneezing, tears and big red eyes. I can imagine that several passengers could have problems with that.

    my experience with a dog in hold luggage is that such a trip does have an impact on them and it might be an idea to practice sitting in the crate if the dogs are not used to it.

    Good flight

    in 2010 I brought my two dogs, german shepherd and labrador from Belgium, via Air Berlim, direct flight in Dusseldorf.
    If I remember correctly this was 235 euros for both, but problems in Dusseldorf, both benches had to be checked without dogs in them. Both dogs had been given a sedative by the vet to stay calm.
    Once called at Bkk airport by customs, the vet saw two large dogs, not examined, but asked for the medical papers (in English), viewed booklets with vaccinations, and that was it, cost 1000 baht>
    Total price, purchase two benches 350 euros, transport Air Berlin (as the cheapest) 235 euros and 25 euros customs clearance.
    The vet at Bkk airport did not want to examine them
    When returning to Belgium, the health booklets must be back in order
    Oh yes, forgot to mention, reported to the embassy in Brussels, no problem either
    So don't worry, but ok fear that they will end up in the cargo hold.
    I have not seen pets in the passenger compartment on any flight.
    Good advice check with Air Berlin, they don't charge per kilo
