Travelers with return flights to Bangkok with KLM, Air France, Delta, United Airlines, Swissair or SAS Air Berlin, are requested to contact the “Dog and Cat Rescue Samui”, tel. 0066 (0) 77 413 490, mobile: 0066 (0) 81 893 94 43, email: info@ samuidog.org (Website: www.samuidog.org).
These airlines have special rates for dogs in their cargo compartment. Prices range between 150 and 200 euro. Normally the transportation of a dog costs 1,500 baht per kilogram and can easily reach up to 1,000 euro and more. Additionally there are charges for the cage, chip and the anti-rabies inoculation testing.
Supporters don’t have to come to Koh Samui, for the dog will be delivered to them in Bangkok at the check-in counter, two hours before the flight. They will have nothing to do with the payments and only have to attend and assure that the dog will be traveling with them. Once in Germany, the new owner picks up his pet at the airport.
Please help these dogs to get to Germany at low costs.
Since we started the negotiations last year, 15 dogs from our animal shelter could be transferred to their new homes in Germany.
In some different forums we offer selected and extremely kind animal shelter dogs for the transfer to Germany. We give these dogs away for 300 euro to their new owners, cage not included. Of course we try to get these cages back and therefore ask animal lovers who travel to Koh Samui to bring them back to us. Please contact us if you have some space in your luggage left. A cage weighs 9.5 kg and measures 95 x 65 x 35 cm. The cage will be send to you before your flight.
We are furthermore looking for animal lovers who come to Samui to bring the anti-rabies certifications to us. If the institute in Gießen sends us the tests via mail; it’s very uncertain if they ever reach us. Every dog which travels to Europe has to pass the test before. The certificate would also be delivered to you prior to your flight.
