It used to be that having a pet was a privilege that was only available to people who were home owners or rented a detached home in Bangkok. Pets were generally not allowed in most condos in Bangkok. The apartment buildings and condos that did allow pets were generally older buildings that were past their prime and located in out-of-the-way areas of town far from public transportation.
However, attitudes change over time. These days, you often see dogs being wheeled in strollers around the shopping malls of the city. People also stop in for a cup of coffee at one of the many popular cat cafés springing up all over Bangkok, where cats hang out and entertain the customers. Many of the city’s malls also host pet fairs several times a year that feature all types of pets and everything a pet owner needs to pamper their furry friends. Pets have slowly become more accepted in public places and private homes.

A More Tolerant View Towards Pets
People are generally taking a kinder, more tolerant view of pets. This extends to the remarkable growth of pet-friendly condos in Bangkok. For pet owners, this availability of condos within easy reach of a BTS or MRT station has made having a pet in the city perfectly feasible.
For couples with flexible schedules, one of you can head off to the office while the other stays home and keeps your pet company. More independent dogs and cats can be perfectly fine by themselves at home while their owners are working. With more people working from home, the idea of having a loving pet to keep you company while working from your condo is appealing to more and more city-dwellers.
More Choices
Pet owners used to have limited choices of where they could live with their pets. These days, you an choose the area of the city that’s convenient for your lifestyle. Many pet owners like to choose an area outside of the city center where they can enjoy long walks with their dogs early in the morning or after work.
Cat owners can look for a spacious condo right in the city center and enjoy the same transportation options and city conveniences as non-pet owners.
