  1. How about ATK tests, anyone asking for those

     

    We went to Tree Town , to the bar complex there - but because we entered from the side soi - not needed to do ATK test. If you enter at front - yes - you will be asked. 

    Went to the Pool bar at back of complex - & I attempted to show Vaccine info - but no need. You only have a limited time in the bars - so they want you in there (quickly) to start spending! ????

  2. Ivermectin is NOT a recognised treatment for Ringworm. It is a parasiticide , not an anti fungal - and is not effective against Dermatophytes/‘Ringworm’.

    Parenteral (oral/injectable) treatment is Griseofulvin , topical treatment is halogenated compounds - containing Iodine or Chlorine.

    Antifungals like Itraconazole and Fluconazole have limited activity against Microsporum - the causative agent of Canine ringworm.

  3. No experience with local products.

    If you want tablets - try to get Grisovin (Griseofulvin) .  The effect is not immediate - oral treatment takes about 3 weeks to work, as the active ingredient is incorporated in the growing skin layer - and it takes time to get to the ‘outside’.

    For a few localised lesions - apply Betadine (or similar) to sore daily for a week or so.

    Antifungal shampoos, or rinsing in a 1:20 solution of White King (or similar) will help to limit further spread of spores. 

  4. Hi.   This information is available online on Thai Customs website - but is not easy to follow.

    If importing goods you would be subject to duty & VAT.  Duty varies according to the item - watches are about 10% , electrical goods can be 40% or more - although the amount of duty you pay to some extent depends on how the inspector feels on the day!  The duty is calculated on the estimated value of the item - which is not necessarily the invoiced value!   VAT is fixed at 7%.

    Some shipping companies, like DHL, will also add on a 'service (+/- storage fee)' on top of this. 

     

     

     

     

  5. Yes , as has been said , the compressor is included.  If fitting is included - it will cover the most basic installation - ie ground floor , no difficult wiring issues etc. I have had installed 7 ac units in several houses over the last 4 years - and every time the installers have found a reason to extract a few extra 1000 baht from us!

    This sort. 

     

    Couldn't come to this obvious conclusion on your own? Took your wife to convince you about the seriousness of an endangered species, facing possible extinction, being illegally killed? No matter how much money they have either. Still the same heinous crime and the punishment should be severe.

  7. Ok.  So I was a going to say lighten up everyone - just some guys trying to protect their livelihood….

    Then discussed this with wife - she says ‘ same people who shot black tiger - can do anything because have a lot of money’.  

    Based on this ,  I agree -  throw the book at these low lifes!!

    Any animal should be adequately protected in a National Park.

    Not worried over treatment cost, do you have any idea how long the dog needs to spend at hospital if teeth are removed ?      Treated another dog some years ago for something and she was in a couple of nights.

    He looks typical Thai dog!

    A simple extraction - if that is all that is required - is definitely only a one day procedure - done in morning , home in afternoon.   

    Anything more - I really can't be certain.

  9. unlikely to be cancer in 2 year old dog

    What breed is he? You say mixed - but what does he look like? Terrier? Flat faced?

    It is not unusual for dogs to have 'extra' incisor teeth - most often retained deciduous teeth.

    These teeth - especially if damaged - should be removed.

    can give more informed opinion with pics

  10. The permanent secretary of the city administration, Khachit Chatchavanich, inspected the triage centre in Dusit district today (Saturday), which will only accommodate children aged 5-12.

     

    He said that the communicable disease committee of Bangkok is concerned about pub-restaurants, a number of which do not meet the required standards and may pose a risk of spreading COVID-19.  

     

     

    Does the CDC think many children aged 5-12 frequent these sub standard pub-restaurants? ????

    The video you posted is of a 6-7 month old Charolais bull in a proper holding crush ,that will not be difficult to do .

     

    The pictured bull was actually a (sedated) Hereford.

    You are correct that most cattle here are Brahman type cattle (Bos indicus) . In my experience, they can kick in all directions with all four feet - almost at the same time! I am sure they have better temperament here because they are handled much more than those I dealt with in Australia.  They mature later than European breeds, so are unlikely to become too much of a handful until after 2 years of age. 
    in response to the op original question - there would be no benefit in running steers unless you were growing them beyond 2 years of age.

    I have nothing helpful to add to this thread but after reading the thread a few days ago I've been peppered with Animal Electro-Ejaculator ads while on this website.  My wife is beginning to suspect that I'm some sort of deviant as we live in Bangkok and don't have livestock.  Is anyone else getting this?

    Finally, is this a good brand? I don't want to get stuck with a faulty electro-ejaculator.....

    Well, the pictured EEJ has a ram probe with it ,  a real man would need a bull probe!

  13. There are pet shops at Chatuchak market that may be able to help you.  If you cannot find your Norwegian Forest Cat - you will definitely be able to purchase something much more exciting. Last time I was there, they had Caracals for sale, 20kg of wild cat - that will really get the neighbours talking (or running?)
