    Taking My Dog To The UK... HELP!

    in Plants, Pets & Vets in Thailand

    Posted

    Hi all,

     

    This has got to be the most stressful thing I've ever done... exporting my dog from BKK to the UK...

     

    Now I've done everything that I need to do with regards to: Microchip, Blood titer tests, worming, export permit etc etc but the problem I'm having is with the cargo...

     

    I can fly to any UK airport but every company I speak to quotes me for the 'volume weight' of the cargo which works out around 80,000 baht for my 25kg dog.

     

    Is it just me or it that just TOO expensive?

     

    Is there anyone out there who can help me by giving me some information on alternatives such as flying to Amsterdam and getting the ferry to Hull or I've also heard that flying to Paris is cheaper?

     

    Any help/advice would be much appreciated... 

     

    Thank you very much

    I am a UK citizen...

    It's looking like the best option is to do my courses here as MOGIT is only a stones throw from my house, move back to the UK and start looking for positions in the North Sea. All this information and advice is much appreciated and I'm glad I found this forum.

    Can you recommend any good UK/Europe based companies I should be looking at?

    Thanks

    Hi guys,

    I've read this forum and there is some great advice being given.

    I currently live in Sriracha as an English teacher but I want to get myself BOSIET qualified and get working on the rigs ASAP. Laem Chabang is only a 5 minute drive away which would be perfect.

    If anyone could help me out with a few questions it would be much appreciated:

    1: Do I only need the BOSIET / OGUK medical to start looking for work?

    2: How easy is it to get work over here?

    3: Is there anything else I need to know / be aware of?

    Cheers guys!

    A lot will depend on your contacts and experience and education (mostly in that order of importance).

    Walking into an Offshore role appears very difficult, but for some, being in the right place at the right time and knowing the right people helps.

    Ultimately you will get advice from guys who work in the industry who will tell you to go to your home country and get your 'break out' there.

    Access to the Oil industry in Thailand is probably very difficult. Without existing experience perhaps impossible.

    One aspect of the industry is Drilling which involve the following:

    Jobs for Rig Companies:

    1) Roustabout, Roughneck etc - Filled by locals only

    2) Assistant Drillers, Tour Pushers - Mostly filled by those who have gained experience overseas (home).

    3) Crane Operators Electricians and Mechanics - Filled by those with existing industry / trade experience.

    Jobs Service Companies:

    1) Catering - Room staff, Cooks etc - Locals only

    2) Specialised services (mudlogging / MWD / Wireline etc) - Require Specific education (Geology / Engineering)

    3) Other Services (Directional Drilling / Mud Engineer) - Require Specific experience (lots of it).

    Jobs for Client / Oil Company:

    1) Company Man - Experience Lots of it (+ Education in many cases these days)

    2) Engineer - Education

    3) Logistics - Experience

    4) Well Site Geologist - Education and Experience

    Ultimately: You will need either plenty of experience for a Rig Company to take you on in a senior role, A trade specific education for a Rig Company to take you on as a specialised role (Eng, Mech), A Job Specific University Education (Engineering / Geology / Chemistry) for a Service Company to take you on and train you.

    Or, Uni Education Education and / or Decades of Experience for an Oil company to take you take you on in an Offshore Supervisory Role.

    Thank you very much for this... I really need to look into this...

    I intend to stay in Thailand for another 2 years then move back to the UK... before that I wanted to possibly work somewhere like here or Singapore... maybe even Oz...

    Regarding Thailand are you an expat? Thailand offshore is 99% Thai manned

    Have you any oilfield experience?

    Have you any relevent oilfield qualifications?

    Looking for toolpusher, oim, chief mechanic, chief electric position?

    Sorry but anyone who has to look on a forum for advice on how to secure an oilfield job has not a chance, unless there best mate is a rig manager.

    I am 26 years old and have lived in Thailand for 2 years.

    I have no experience at all and that's the reason why I am on here... I am trying to gather as much information as possible so I know what direction I need to go.

    To be completely honest I am going by advice given to me by people back in the UK who I know who work for Global Energy Group and many Norwegians I meet in Sriracha where I live...

    I have the money ready to invest in courses but I need to know with what to start with...

    Any advice given would be much appreciated.
