What is the Thai Airways Pets policy?

Thai Airways allows passengers to travel with pets but as checked baggage and with the relevant fees. Only cats, dogs, hamsters, and rabbits are considered pets, but trained service dogs can also tag along with the passenger for free. The section where the pets are held and the passenger's cabin have the same temperature, making it favorable for them to travel. Before adding a pet to your flight, you should always go through the airline's pet policy to learn about their terms and conditions.

If you're planning to bring your pet to Thailand, it's also important to be aware of general travel safety. Thailand is known to be a tourist-friendly destination, but it's always best to stay informed.
