1happykamper Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 My Thai girlfriend's dog died tonight. She is upset to say the least.. Just six years old Pomeranian. Anyway... She wants the dog cremated tomorrow. A thread on TV eludes to a pet crematorium near the big Tesco on the Superhighway. Can anyone confirm this place still exists and if so more exact directions please. Cheers. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elektrified Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 That was probably and old post of mine. It's not a pet crematorium. They don't have such a thing that I am aware of in Thailand. It's where they cremate humans. Actually, you could go to any of them. A dog the size of a Pomeranian will cost you about 700 Baht would be my guess. Pick up the remains the next day. To get to the one mentioned, coming from Super Highway, pass Tesco, turn left on the road where the bars are and Khamthieng Post on your right. Go down a little ways and turn left on the road where the light is past JJ Market - just before Hualamphong Bar. Go to where the street ends (it ends at the crematorium). Can't miss the large white wall and smoke stack. We had two of our dogs cremated there over the years. The last time we were lucky and there were two forest monks staying there for the night. We gave them about 200 each and they did a nice ceremony and prayed for our dog. Was quite nice. Sorry for your loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uptheos Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Monks won't cremate dogs and it cannot be done in a temple. Find a guy with a big piece of land, build a nice cremation place out of wood, branches, etc, Put your dog in something nice of just place him on it and light the fire, some kerosene might help. A few flowers and favourite things spread around and it's nice cos you do it yourself. Ghandi liked this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thailand Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Used a crematorium at a Wat for 2 of our dogs, straight down from Imperial Mae Ping parallel to night bazaar,cross one road and it's down on the left a few hundred yards. THB 1000 for large dogs,Collected remains the following day. They did not use the actual crematorium but large wood fires opposite the main area.

There is always a guy who works at these places I mentioned, which I believe are called 'soosan' or something like that, who is responsible for purchasing the gasoline, and other materials needed, chops the wood, etc. and cremates the bodies of both humans and animals. Humans are cremated at these places when the person has no family, or there is no ceremony, or if the person is destitute. There is not a temple on the ground, only the cremation facilities. And there are no monks at these places unless some from out of town show up needing a place to sleep for the night, shelter from rain, etc. That is how it was explained to me. The guy charged us I think 700 for our Schnauzer and 1500 for our Golden Retriever. Edited March 29, 2016 by elektrified Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flare Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 I had my golden retriever cremated about six months ago- he was old and suffering from cancer, so I had to have him put down at the vet. My wife found a company that came and picked him up, took care of the cremation, and saved some of his ashes for me that I keep in a memorial container. They charged by the size of the dog- I believe I paid 2500-3000bt, and that included their taking care of all the details and traveling across town to get him, which was great as I was really distraught and in no mood or condition to do it. My wife is away, but when I speak to her later I'll ask if she remembers the name of the company as they have a website- I can't recall it.

They advertise that place on a poster at CMU Small Animal Hospital. Same service you can do yourself for 700-1500 THB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't interested in doing it myself, and the extra cost was money well spent as far as I'm concerned. There are always cheaper options, but they're not always better depending on the situation, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roamed around back & forth on those bad roads south & east of the JJ flower mkt . I thought that was the area described, but I must have gotten something wrong because I could not find it.

My vet won't put an animal down but she will discuss the easiest and non painful way you can do it yourself, which I'm not going to discuss on here.
