 At 10pm, Friday the 1st of August,
"fire" destroyed all medicines and most equipment at PAC. Two patients were in the clinic at the time – one cat died,
the other was saved due to the heroic actions of Pi Ton, our building foreman, who managed to halt the "fire" before the truck
arrived (and before the oxygen tank exploded). The cause of the "fire" has not yet been determined, but motorbikes and breaking
glass were heard before the "fire" started.
We at PAC are all shocked and saddened by this development – for 7 years we have given every ounce of ourselves to help
the animals of Koh PhaNgan and the island as a whole – work which has been funded by donations alone, with all earnings
reinvested into improving the lives of the animals of this island.
If this "fire" was started deliberately, then someone on Koh PhaNgan has a problem with PAC. All PAC’s work has been
called to an immediate halt, and all staff removed from the premises, until this problem is identified.

PAC - Phangan Animal Care was set up by Dr Shevaun Gallwey, in 2001 as a nursing clinic to provide Koh PhaNgan with free nursing care for all ownerless animals, neutering programme for population control & rabies vaccinations.
PAC has only one permanent staff member, Amphai Thongpliu (Por) who after 16 months of training, became PACs' Head Nurse in 2004, and has been the back bone of PAC ever since. The rest of PACs' staff have been a series of overseas volunteers.
Since opening, the clinic has cared for every animal in need, regardless of species or ownership. In 6 years, PAC has improved the health of the islands' animals by neutering, vaccinating, treating and educating.
But everything changes!

 For all of you animal lovers on Koh Phangan, and those who have visited Koh Phangan, there is a solution, or at least, some help, to the major dog overpopulation on the island.
Thanks to British Vet Shevaun Gallwey for opening the Phangan Animal Care clinic on Koh Phangan. Purely a non-profit clinic they routinely round up strays on the streets and at the temples and sterilize and vaccinate them. They can always use lots of help, even if you aren't a veterinarian or vet. nurse. But if you are and want to donate some of your skills you would always be welcome.
Check out the Phangan Animal Care website www.pacthailand.org . You can donate at several donation boxes around the island, the Jungle Gym in Haadrin, Blue Lotus Resort in Ban Kai, and Buakao Guesthouse in Thong Sala are just a few. All your spare baht will help. You can also find contact info on their website if you are interested in helping. Their help on this island in just the year they have been open has definitely been noticeable. There are alot less very sad looking dogs on the island thanks to Shevaun and all the invaluable vets and nurses who have donated their time and skills. Help them keep up the good work!
