Taking Pets To Thailand?

[rainman]

just a quick question i wasn't able to find an answer for ..is it possible to take pets (2 small yorkshire terriers) to Thailand from Canada? i have family members who would like to come to Thailand for one or two months and they'd like to bring them here. assuming they have all the vaccinations, a quarantine wouldn't be required?

I am also looking for info on taking our 2 cats into Thailand. I have had quotes from companies around $4000 but I wonder just how difficult it is to get the paperwork sorted out myself. Any info on this would be helpful.
