Why am I tearing up. So happy for you. Loved this video.
Thanks so much Angela! We’re having so much fun..but you know..saying goodbye 😢
I left the States 10 years and live in Ecuador. I would be interested in hearing more about your visa journey for Thailand....
Hi Stacey,
I have a few other videos where I touch on that, but we will go over that again one day in the near future ☺️🙏🏼
Emotional I completely understand, the great adventure begins 🎉
🫶🏼🙏🏼
Wellcome to the land of smiles🙏
Thank You Ka 🙏🏼🇹🇭♥️
So glad you made it safely, and glad you guys are showing the Bangkok areas. The streets are narrow, and noticed that the 5 lane highways are opposite flow of traffic, than US. All steering wheels on cars are on the inside right side of vehicles instead of the left. That pretzel looks scrumptious! Ttysoon. 👍👋
Yes! It’s all different here but it’s amazing and we are So happy to be back here!! Talk soon 🙏🏼💫❤️
am so happy for you! Love you three. 😘 You two are such a great team. Nothing ruffles your feathers. That traffic and walking Fiona is quite a task. Nice cars and people seem pretty friendly. I can't wait to see where you go next! I felt relaxed just watching the video. You must be in heaven there.
We love you 4 ❤️❤️❤️❤️ xxx
@@ThirdThaisaCharm Love you too!!!! Miss you! Keep posting. It's like having a chance to visit with you 💖😸😽
Thailand is the paradise and second home for all visitor!!!
It truly is 🙏🏼🇹🇭🥰
Welcome
Thank You Ka 🙏🏼
Wow happy trails.
The best!
Oh my god thank you so much. My husband was convinced we should write Doha because on that form there is space to write only one flight info and that's the actual flight that gets us to BKK (Doha to BKK). So I will write the info of our first flight then, which is Canada to Doha. Thank you!!
Andreaa, Send me an email and I’ll send you a copy of our R1 we filled out!!

You guys are precious 😊
You’re so sweet 🥹 ❤️
I am happy for you.
Thank You Cathy!🤗
Your fur baby is adorable
Thank You Mike ☺️
This is cool. So Fiona didn’t need to go to quarantine?
No, there is no quarantine here for the dogs❤️!
Hi there, just came across your channel - we just recently moved to Hua Hin about a month ago with our two dogs from California. We should meet up and share experiences 🙂
Wow! So awesome!! We should definitely 😃
Thank you so much for responding sa fast. I appreciate! So if you were to meet any did you consider how to handle it, specifically if it’s pack dogs? This is my concern for bringing my own dog as you might guess:)❤
You’re quite welcome ☺️ Actually, we did have a little encounter one time. I acted quickly and luckily Ray was with us. So he picked Fiona up and I had Mango in my arms, and I shouted at them “No”’ loudly..it seemed to work well. But honestly I’d be very careful where you walk and also where you decide to live. Visit the street a few times and walk it..without your dogs.
There’s lots of packs but they are out quite away from town and the beach area here.
🫶🏼💖
How do you let your dogs encounter stray dogs? Do you let them greet?
No..we don’t let them greet. There really aren’t any strays near our home luckily 🥹💖
I'm terrified of my 85 pnd pit mix flying in the cargo for so long. I need to have him next to me on the plane.....no cargo flight....is that possible? Also I have a Chiwawa and a cat....OMG....my hands are full....Hope to move to Thailand sometime soon. Love you guys!
Carlos..I feel you on this one. It’s absolutely the HARDEST part of moving here. But just know if you fly a good airline like we did, they are in good hands and will be Fine 🙏🏼 It’s hard though to think about, but we’ve flown our dogs here twice and there were Zero issues!! 💜💜💜
Oh my, they have to be in cargo? I have 2 Shih Tzu not only are they very hot dogs prone to over heating very easily but they must be hand fed every 6-7 hours otherwise they get sick from empty tummies, they’re a toy breed.
Wey sweet family
Thank You Mary ☺️🩵
are you loving it? did you have any trouble with the pets at entry or customs?
Loving It SO Much 🙏🏼 No issues whatsoever 🤗
Just came across your channel. Loved your video. Would like to know a little of your background and why you decided to move to Bangkok.
Hi Paula!
My husband and I love Asia and having traveled here before and spending quite a bit of time here, we decided to make this our retirement destination. Thanks so much for watching our channel! 🤗❣️
....and what do you do with your dog when you have to get renewed visa? Do you take him on a plane in and out or leave him there?)
We don’t need to leave at all. We’re on a retirement visa.
Which airline did you use to get dogs to thailand? I'm unable to find one.
Qatar Airlines is the airline we used from San Francisco to Bangkok. Highly recommend! My friend a video series on bringing a dog to Thailand. Her channel is called “Kimberley’s Sandbox” I think you’ll get a lot of information there!! She is from Arizona/San Diego area.
Hi, can you share if it is possible to travel with a small dog on public transport in Bangkok?
Hi!
Public transport with pets is not allowed as far as I’ve ever heard. Even in a stroller or carrier..but the are allowed in many malls and lots of restaurants. There is now a “dog friendly “ option though when booking a Grab which is really nice!
@@ThirdThaisaCharm thank you:)
Hi Tracy! I am going to ask you a silly question and maybe I will sound like a dummy but I hope you can answer me because I cannot find an answer. I am filling up the Import R1 form and there is a field "Coming from....Flight...Date....Time ...." that I have to fill up and due to transitioning in Doha I am not sure if I should put Coming from DOH, Qatar and the flight info of that specific flight or if I should put Coming from Montreal, Canada and put the info of that flight that only flies from Canada to Doha. I am inclined to write the info of Doha to BKK flight because it makes more sense to me but wondering if you could remember what you wrote there as you also had a layover in Doha. Thank you in advance!!!
Hi Andreea,
You write that you are Coming from Canada and going to Bangkok.
There’s no such thing as a silly question ☺️💕 See you soon!
I hear that it’s hard to find accommodation that allows dogs, curious as to how you managed that
All luck for sure. She just loves dogs 😆
We’re coming soon but just couldn’t swing the business class so we’ll be in steerage 😂
It was a splurge for sure..but worth every penny 😉
how has your experience been in Bangkok with your dog? do most parks in Bangkok refuse entry if you have a dog?
I'm considering bangkok but I'd need some grassy area near my home so my dog can do his business.
That was what we struggled with in BKK. Benjakitti Park now has a dog friendly zone I’ve read though! We had a hard time finding grass for Fiona when we lived there. If you find a home with a grassy area I’d say that would be ideal ☺️❣️ I miss Bangkok but for now especially with Fiona, Hua Hin is ideal for us. Mangos so tiny he is easier if we ever move back one day 💫 Thank you so much for watching! Keep us posted on your move!!!!
I’m thinking to take my dog to Thailand this summer. What paperwork do you need for you dog to enter Thailand from The US.
You will want to contact a USDA Vet in your area and go from there. It’s quite a lot and timing is everything. But we’ll worth the effort. Also be sure to fly during cool season and fly with a good airline as well 🙏🏼
Thank you 😊
Hi Tracy! Please tell me if you needed an Import Permit for Qatar because you transited through Doha with Fiona? Also, how long was layover? I had a choice for 3 or 8 hours layover and I chose the latter just because they say if it is more than 4 hours, they walk the dogs, feed them, fresh water, bigger cage etc. Please tell me how it was for you and your baby Fiona. I am trying to stay positive but this feels the most stressful situation for me. We will leave from Canada on June 5th and will arrive there on the 7th. Such a long journey for my baby girl...
Hi!
We had a quick 3 hours which turned out to be 1.5 hours and we were back on our flight to BKK.
No import permit as it was so fast.
Try not to stress…I know it’s not easy but our babies feel our emotions and energy and just know that you all will be here before you know it and she will be just fine as you are flying one of the best airlines with her 🥰🙏🏼☺️
@@ThirdThaisaCharm I appreciate your answer so much!! I will try to work on my emotions because I know I need to stay positive ☺️ Thank you!!!
Hi, did you need a R1/1 form for your dog before departure? I’m very confused cos some said no but most informations on the internet said yes, even the related departments didn’t give me a clear answer. Thank you.
Hi Octola,
We did fill this form out 10 days before we departed from California. But we never heard back from anyone in Thailand…so we just departed the country and upon arrival at Animal Quarantine we ended up having to fill one out there with them and paid 500 or 600 baht. So no worries about that form if you don’t hear back from them or get any confirmation. You’ll do it here! Thanks so much for watching 🙏🏼 Happy Journey with your pet 🩵🧡
Watch out for the street dogs they’re very aggressive towards other dogs
Yes, but the beach dogs here are ok so far!
Its rather unusual to see white couples living together in Thailand these days. The exceptions being diplomatic families and missionaries.
Are you living here now by chance?
@ThirdThaisaCharm yes. I say this because nearly all western males in Thailand are in relationships with local women and this is also true among western women - they tend to be married to Thai men, not other westerners. The system is partly set up to make it more difficult to live in Thailand if you aren't married to a local. Not that it's impossible! It just is what it is.
Yes, I’d have to agree with you most definitely.
I think Chiangmai better for you
Dogs cannot enter. Because there are cats and monitor lizard living there. It can be dangerous for these animals.
Yes, completely understand 🙏🏼💜
