I have had many orders like this. Often it is marked as packed, with no further shipping information. Then the order is delivered normally…. I have learnt to chill and be patient!

It’s the thought that counts! 555. Don’t think too much….

Unfortunately cases like this do, and will continue to happen here in Thailand. I love my own dogs. I worked for nearly 40 years as a veterinarian, treating dogs. Most forum members here know what needs to happen here with this dog, aside from a few crackpot pitbull apologists. The Thai people I know have a very non-Western viewpoint on dogs. It is not rational in my eyes. Case in point - after yet another unwanted/unplanned (call it what you will) litter of puppies at one of our farms - I (half) jokingly said I would take a few of the newborn pups & feed them to my snake. This comment was greeted with such derision & shock - I have dropped a few steps in my standing in my family here!!. No - the puppies will be raised, and then when old enough, my Father in Law will take them for a trip to the 'forest'. Here they will be abandoned/dumped/rehomed. Not sure of the correct terminology here. This is seen as acceptable to all of my Thai family....

A fictional make believe character will receive an imaginary non binary gender. Sounds quite rational to me. ????????

After they’ve been barfined? Lol

The 90 day report & annual extensions (whichever visa type you have) are completely different animals. when you complete your 90 day report, they will give you a slip to keep in your passport which clearly states when your next report is due.

I too equipped my home gym with good quality chinese made (an oxymoron?) gear - all purchased from Lazada. MUCH cheaper than anything I could source locally.

It depends how dirty I am , and what they are cleaning...

The used car market in Thailand is a dogs' breakfast! In my experience - dealers at 'car tents' - (used car lots) , charge crazy high prices, and generally are not open to much haggling or discounting. This may vary obviously, In Kanchanaburi, where I am, there are dealers who have had the same cars on the lot for the last 3 years. I don't know how they survive! I have sold cars here on One2Car , and Facebook Marketplace. The right car at a reasonable price will normally sell ok. However, as an example, I have been trying to sell a 3 year old Ranger ute with only 7000 ks on the clock for 300k less than I paid for it. In 4 months I have had 3 enquiries, and only been offered 35% of what I bought it for. (Hmm, might be time for a fire....!) If you cannot speak Thai, the sale difficulty increases!

Yep. Got one. Thanks

One dog - out of the tens of thousands roaming free in Thailand - gets rehomed , and we are supposed to get warm fuzzies like ‘Lassie come home’ or ‘Old Yeller’ ? Give me a break!

Confucious say “ if your nose is running & your feet smell - you built upside down”

Get a sense of humour

Was that the guy from the Vietnamese restaurant?

Fixed ????

AS others have said - you need to treat the house and garden area to kill the tick nymphs. Any insecticidal/pyrethrin spray will do the job. I bought a product from Big C last month - sorry, don't remember name - but it smelled like vinegar. My FIL used it to spray around their house to get rid of the ticks - and it worked well. The Bravecto you gave last year will not have 'worked' for 12 months. Ticks are seasonal in Thailand - so are not a problem all of the year. Now is T time!! Bravecto or Nexgard will kill ticks when they bite your dog - and help protect them from tick borne diseases like Canine Ehrlichiosis (tick Fever) - this can be fatal - so when you see the ticks - treat your dog. Insecticidal washes, containing pyrethrins, will stop most ticks from attaching to your dog.

Living with an abusive partner is a different kind of prison…

A young woman with a 4 year old child - things are not always that simple...

Cats in Thailand are routinely vaccinated for Feline Enteritis (Panleucopenia) and Cat Flu , (Rhinotracheitis , Calici virus etc). Feline Enteritis is the main disease to be concerned about. We also vaccinate our cat for Rabies - but this is for his & our protection. I am not suggesting that your cats are turning up their toes from rabies!

It looks like she was making silicon nose and chin implants. These are more rigid - and will not burst or leak. If sterilised properly before insertion it really shouldn’t be that much of a problem.

I enjoy watching some of Paddy Doyle’s travel videos around Thailand. He has also ‘done’ Vietnam, & is currently ‘doing’ Laos. He is a little annoying, & the videos are often a little light on content, but the cinematography is excellent. It gives me ideas on places I want to see, & others I will be happy to miss in LOS.

A true Staffordshire Bull terrier will not attack a person, although many are not good with other dogs. A Pitbull or Amstaff type dog is completely different. These dogs are unpredictable, and a previously docile dog can 'turn' and exhibit excessive aggression - as in this case. Over 35 years working as a veterinarian I have seen or heard of countless acts of (generally) unprovoked aggression by 'Pitties' , or Pitbull Crosses. They do not have to be purebred to be bad. It only seems to take a touch of their genetics to create the time bomb that these dogs are. They are restricted or banned in many countries for very good reason.

Bob - have you been having remedial English lessons? Your typing, spelling, and vocabulary have improved immensely since those early old farang girlfriend stealing days.

As marty147 has said - Nexgard would be the easiest way to treat these dogs as it is palatable & readily taken by dogs. It is not cheap. Ivermectin administered at 200micrograms/kg is effective - but needs to be injected. - so probably not practical. Vinegar, engine oil (!?) etc as topical washes are not likely to be effective - although if the dogs have demodectic mange rather than sarcoptic mange it may help. Are the dogs itchy? If so it will be Sarcoptes. Demodectic mange looks bad, but the dog is generally not itchy. This is easier to treat, and sometimes just improving the dogs general health, and hence immune status , can help it recover.

The Daphnis genus are found throughout Europe, Asia, Northern Australia & Northern Africa. Daphnis nerii, the Oleander Hawkmoth is a regularly found in the UK. Daphnis nerii & D. hypothous can be found in Thailand. Sorry! This is a passion of mine. I travelled, collected and studied moths for more than 40 years.
