True Love Cafe may be the most popular Husky cafe in Bangkok right now, but one animal cafe that is increasingly gaining the attention of all animal lovers is Little Zoo Cafe in Siam.

This animal cafe features all sorts of animals such as dogs, cats and birds of different breeds. To top it all off, there are also exotic animals such as an Arctic fox, a Fennec fox and a raccoon.

Do not be taken aback, as all the animals are tame and docile when they play with humans. Entrance to the cafe is free, but all visitors are expected to purchase a main and drink each in order to maintain the welfare of the animals.

Expect to see domestic pets such as this Pekingese who stole the hearts of many visitors that day. The obedient dog is a joy to play with and loves to laze around while enjoying a scratch from many willing human friends.

Other dog breeds they have include the cheeky Chihuahuas who never seem to get tired of dashing around the cafe, giving the entire space a lively atmosphere.

The raccoon has its own special room and visitors are required to wait in line for their turn before they are allowed in. Once you are inside, you are allowed to interact with the raccoon and feed it. Just remember, no carrying is allowed!

You no longer have to travel all the way to the Sahara of North Africa to see a Fennec fox! Little Zoo Cafe has two such foxes and these feisty creatures are mind-blowingly beautiful when you see them up close in real life.

Those who prefer smaller animals will find plenty there as well. We particularly liked the Chinchillas and Parakeets as they are extremely adorable!

Unlike many pet cafes, Little Zoo Cafe has a full menu with appetisers, mains, desserts and beverages. We decided to go for the Omelette Lava Rice (THB215/S$8.84), Hamburg Steak With Rice (THB265/S$10.90), Thai Iced Tea (THB155/S$6.37) and Latte Frappe (THB165/S$6.79).

While the food is not spectacular, the standard is decent as compared to many other themed cafes in Bangkok.

Rest assured that the animals there are under strict supervision by the staff who do crowd control so that the animals would not feel overwhelmed and stressed out.

One of the latest addition to Bangkok’s thriving night market scene is ChangChui in Thonburi district. The term ‘”chui” refers to being disorganised in the Thai language but do not be deceived by its name—the huge lifestyle space is a one-stop destination for everything art related.

Think fashion apparel stalls, concept cafes, food trucks and a vintage cinema for the film buffs. The creative co-working space looks more like a page in a fairy tale book than the usual boisterous Thai night markets you are used to seeing in Bangkok.

If you are thinking of visiting this creative night market in Bangkok, here are 7 Things Not To Miss Out When You Are In ChangChui.

//

#1 THERE IS AN OLD AEROPLANE IN THE CENTRE OF CHANGCHUI

It is impossible to miss this old aeroplane right smack in the middle of ChangChui market. Yes, you can now imagine how enormous this market is; there is still plenty of space to roam around.

Spice up your Instagram feed by taking your OOTD pictures right in front of this aeroplane!

//

#2 FOOD TRUCKS AND FOOD STALLS

The inner hipsters in us were thrilled to see all these food trucks around the market. If you are feeling hungry from all the shopping, head to any of these vans and get yourself some bites.

Check out this cheese toastie stall in ChangChui—the generous amount of melted cheese sandwiched in between lightly toasted bread is our idea of perfection. Do not forget to do a cheese pull for your Boomerang video!

You can get a cheese toastie for THB49/S$2.03 at ChangChui.

//

There are many takeaway kiosks offering finger food such as grilled squid where you can have them on the go too. Those who are feeling peckish but not in the mood for a full meal can go around trying various kind of light bites as you walk around.

//

For a taste of local food, drop by Mr. M food van and try their Green Curry Fried Chicken Rice and the Original Fried Chicken Rice with Spicy Sauce. While the food is not the best we have tried in Bangkok, they are decent for its price point.

Both are going at THB65/S$2.67 each.

//

#3 SO MANY COFFEE SHOPS TO CHOOSE FROM

There is no lack of good coffee shops in ChangChui but the one that left the deepest impression on us was One Ounce For Onion. While the lifestyle cafe is not new to Bangkok, we would still recommend visiting this concept outlet at ChangChui.

Bookworms will enjoy browsing the collection of books displayed around the coffee bar. A night of reading paired with an aromatic cuppa is one of the best ways to unwind from the pressures of life.

//

Prefer al fresco seating instead where you can take in the cool night breeze? Head over to Oldman Cafe where you can indulge in craft beers, live music and a menu showcasing a selection of western food.

#4 SHOP TILL YOU DROP

For the uninitiated, ChangChui is a project by Somchai Songwattana—the owner of Flynow which is an established fashion brand in Thailand.

As the brainchild of a clothing designer, you can expect ChangChui to be home to many fashion apparel brands. With so many options there, surely there will be something that will catch your eye!

//

#5 GET YOURSELF A TATTOO

No creative space is complete without the addition of a tattoo parlour as tattoo art is an extremely popular way of self expression. If you are feeling up to it, you can even make a bold statement by getting an outrageous tattoo art. Just be sure you won’t regret it afterwards!

//

#6 HAVE FUN AT SHOOTING GAMES

Are tattoos too extreme for you? Not to worry! You can try your hand at shooting games instead. We are more than glad to see this classic fun fair attraction in ChangChui as the game never gets old.

//

#7 CATCH A FILM AT THIS VINTAGE THEATRE

Skip your usual cinemas and come to this vintage theatre instead. Instead of blockbuster movies, you can expect screenings such as documentaries and films by local talents. On top of that, do keep a lookout for occasional performances as well.

//

Entry to ChangChui sets an adult back at THB100/S$4.11. However, it is complimentary for those who are disabled and all children below 120cm.
