Aside from scrumptious food, cheap massages and a plethora of fashion options, Bangkok is also well-loved for their slew of animal cafes. For those of you who love animals but can’t own one, these cafes are the perfect place for you to mingle with some to your heart’s content.
You can choose to have a chill time sipping some coffee while stroking a cat or enjoy a heart-racing play session with a bunch of hyperactive puppies. For the more adventurous, you can even get up and personal with exotic animals such as meerkats, racoons and wild cats. There is truly an animal cafe for everyone!
BIG DOG CAFE
Despite the rather intimidating name, the big dogs in this cafe are surprisingly tame and very friendly! Aside from these gentle giants, the cafe houses an array of other dog breeds which are equally as adorable and as lovable as their massive counterparts. We do recommend that you make a reservation prior to your visit as the cafe can get rather crowded at times.
