You wouldn't call Bangkok a pet-friendly city. Most public spaces are off-limits to your four-legged friends, thus spending time with them outside your home can be quite a challenge. But the city is developing a more welcoming attitude towards domesticated animals—cafés, shopping malls, and even staycation-perfect hotels across the city are now allowing fur parents to bring their canine and feline babies.

New pet-centric businesses have also sprung up, including more grooming salons to make your pets pretty, and spas and swimming pools to make sure they remain healthy and in good shape.

Here are some paw-fect spaces you can take your furry pals to enjoy a nice day out.

  • Things to do
  • City Life

Benjakitti Forest Park has recently unveiled a specified pet-friendly enclosure called Dog Park. Located next to the park’s main entrance on Ratchapisek Road, Benjakitti’s Dog Park is a compact space where you and your four-legged pal can strut down a lane amid tropical greenery and meet new fluffy friends. Owners can rest on colorful benches and stools as they watch their pets socialize.  

  • Shopping
  • Department stores
  • Lat Phrao

At CentralFestival EastVille, dogs can freely roam the outdoor park, which even houses a playground to keep your dog active and alert. If it’s too hot to play outside, rent a doggie cart and push him around the mall while you window shop (only within designated areas). Please be considerate, folks. It’s your job to clean up if your four-legged pal makes a mess – the mall offers plastic bags precisely for this purpose.
