    Seller own fleet, packed for a week, China of course.

    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!

  2. 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!

  3. 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!

  4. 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.

  5. 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!
