Best pet-friendly places in Bangkok

If you have a pet with energy to burn, bring it here because this cafe offers a large outdoor space shaded by huge trees. Before playing fetch with fido though, take time to try their homemade cheesy spaghetti bolognese (220B) and a cup of sparkling cold-brew coffee (150B). In fact, coffee enthusiasts will love the single origin Chiang Dao coffee beans. This is a good spot to chill at weekends and live music in the evenings helps to calm excitable pups and their people.

With so many outlets and eateries being pet-friendly, there’s always room on the terrace for your companion and coddled critters need never be alone. As an extra treat, visit the pet park for a bit of exercise before heading home.
