This question has surfaced again. Here's my answer.

Dog meat on the dinner menu was outlawed years ago.

Haven't seen the dog collectors for a few years. They offered plastic bowls and buckets to owners who gave up their dogs. Don't tell anyone, but in the rural areas it still happens. Some people can't break old habits, to others it's a delicacy for special occasions.

Tourism: Brining along your medications

Had been wanting to write about this, but awaited updated confirmation.
The rule which applied during my tourist days back in the eighties and nineties is still in effect.

This is an e-mail received by a soon to be Sakon Nakhon Visitor from the Thai Consul in Canberra:

Any prescribed medicines brought into Thailand must be covered by a letter from a health professional/doctor specifying diagnosis, name of medicine and prescription of treatment and the quantity allowed without prior authorisation from the Food and Drug Administration in Thailand is for 30 days supply only.
All medicines (prescribed and non-prescribed) must be in their original packaging and must be declared on arrival in Thailand.
