Dog Friendly Places in Bangkok

Dear Diary,

i went to Bangkok over the weekend and went to places that i never been before. I have been going to Bangkok so often that i m quite bored. So i decided to add in some new places in the itinerary

Truelove @ Neverland cafe
I read about this cafe online and it was recommended to go for husky lovers. They have 23 huskies and some other dog breeds in the cafe. This cafe is an interactive dog cafe. I paid the entrance fee of 350baht per person to enter the cafe. It comes with a drink and a slice of cake. Its quite worth it as the cake was quite yummy.
The visiting hours are as per below:

We were slightly late, so we sat there and waited for the next visiting hour. We ordered our drinks and cake:





There are normal cakes or ice cream cake to choose from. The Cake is nice, I personally love the ice cream cake. There are many tourist in the cafe as well. 
We were quite hungry and we also need to eat to pass time! So we ordered 2 main dishes to share.


Spicy sausage pasta


Thai Chicken Thigh rice

We love the food and it is really yummy! 

Finally the time has arrived for the interaction! These are the pictures I took. The huskies are tame, but i wouldn't say they are friendly. They are so on their own and they don't really like to take pictures. They don't play with us or try to interact with us. Most of the time the visitors are chasing them around to take pictures. It was so hard to take picture with them! The caretaker have to help us "catch" one of od the huskies and made him stay to take a picture with us. 
Manage to take a few shots. enjoy!














This is one of the best moment. After the interaction session is over, the huskies will run all together back into their rooms for their meals and have a short break before the next interaction. My camera couldn't capture a clear shot cuz the huskies were running too fast!


Some souvenirs sold in the cafe. 

Address: 153 Paholyothin Soi Ari, Samphan 2, Bangkok, Thailand.



We took a cab there as this place is not near the nearest BTS. The nearest station is Ari or Sanam Pao. I suggest taking a cab or a tuk tuk from any of these 2 BTS. When leaving the place, the cafe person will call a tuk tuk to send you out the the nearest BTS. It will only cost you about 40 baht for the ride.


K Village Shopping mall

This is a Dog friendly shopping mall. I wanted to visit this mall as this is the only mall that is dog friendly in BKK. I read that there are quite a few doggie stores there as well. Its different from the other shopping malls in the main district. Well, its worth it to try something new!
In this mall, there are quite a handful of people shopping with their dogs! The restaurants there have unique themes. Not sure if it is nice as we didn't eat there. We were quite full from our snack so we didn't have dinner there. 


Shop owner and their doggie





for kuma fans!



One of the doggies we saw shopping

there are quite a number of pet stores here but i purchased dog stairs from this store. The shop owner is awesome and gave me some freebies for buying the stairs. she is friendly and helpful. The shop owner is a Taiwanese that speaks super fluent Thai. 

There is also a pet store directly outside the shopping mall. This pet store stands alone and it is lovely. Most importantly, they have a Chihuahua!

This store sells a few lovely collars, beds, treats and more!

The shop's chihuahua. Super friendly girl!

Address: 93,95 Sukhumvit 26, klongtoey,behind BigC Rama IV, Bangkok 10110.

We took a cab from Phrom Phong BTS station as we don't really know  how to walk to the place. From the map, Phrom Phong is the nearest BTS station to K Village. 


These are the 2 new places i discovered in BKK. New experience for us to see a different side of BKK other than just shopping. For dog lovers, may consider to visit these places in BKK!

As you notice that most of the time we travel by BTS and taxi. Just a small advise, taking taxi in BKK have to be very careful as during peak hours, the taxi drivers will charge you more expensive and refuse to turn on their meter. So before boarding the taxi, best to check with the driver if he is charging by meter or flat rate. Taxi there is quite affordable and if you are lazy to walk, it's good to take a taxi. Haha! But for some areas and certain timings, have to avoid taking a taxi. From my experience, Siam area is always jam and their jamming peak hours starts from about 3 pm to about 8 pm? Especially the roads towards Platinum Fashion Mall. 

Hope you enjoy reading and happy planning your trip to BKK! I will post on the hotel and other stuffs in the next blog post. :) 

Love,

Bumver mummy
