Pets

[pongpit]

Could someone please tell me how hard it is to import family pets into Thailand from Australia and what is required. Is there any Quarantine required and if so how much it would cost.The pets are three cats.

Food's cheap enough in LOS so there's no need to take your own.

Seriously, I would like some information on this too. We have a fat, lazy cat used to a temporate climate who is thinking of emigrating to LOS. I think that it's easy enough to get pets into the country but I wonder whether ours will cope with the heat.
