PAC has been operating since September 2001 as a non-profit nursing clinic providing medical treatment for all animals. Pet ownership is a relatively new concept to the Thai community. We provide advice with regard to optimizing the animals health, and hope to campaign for greater understanding and compassion for animals through the schools. The tourist influx to Koh PhaNgan has resulted in a greater availability of food, and with many animal-loving tourists intermittently feeding and caring for the animals around them PAC Ko Pangan has been gratefully embraced by the local residents of the island, as there has never been any option to obtain treatment unless the animal was brought to the adjacent island. PAC operates by requesting donations to cover the cost of medical supplies used in treating owned animals, while all strays are treated at the expense of the clinic.
