Freight Dogs Finally a forum for those midnight prowler types who utilise the unglamorous parts of airports that many of us never get to see. Freight Dogs is for pilots and crew who operate mostly without SLF.

Hitch a ride from Phuket

I am desparate to get myself, some luggage, a few cats and 4 large horses out of Phuket, Thailand . There is an animal control office at HKT so it is possible, there are just no commercial freight flights out .
Charter pricing is out of the question . Anyone flying a charter going by.. I would pay very well-combined weight would be about 2000 kg and I don't care where it is going as long as it is OUT of ASIA !!
Of course all needed quarantine, etc is ready
Please privately e mail at [email address]

4 large horses and you reckon only 2000kgs?

Are you putting them on a diet or something before they travel?

Oh and by the way there are very strict guidleines for moving animals and livestock. You dont just walk them up the steps on to the aircraft.

I would strongly suggest you do some research 1st, unless you are on a wind up.

Asia is a big place as am I sure you know. So what has an entire continent done to upset ya?

The 4 nags alone will be over 2T (I always use 600kg/head for rough planning). Two horse boxes HMA or similar... Plus all your other stuff. That's going to be an expensive job.

I guess getting yourself & freight over to BKK is out of the question... ?

Blimey, you don't want much do you?

If you had a stick with a spotted hankie on the end you might have some chance but with the contents of Noahs Ark in tow, the term 'hitch a ride' is a bit of a pi$$ take.

Maybe before accusing the lady of taking the pee, you should have noted her e-mail address i.e. phuket horse rescue.

truck everything to BKK, that's most realistic option.
