Dog Cafe at Sukhumvit - Barkyard BKK

Bangkok remains one of the top attractions in the world, and with good reason. It is a developed city which also remains quite affordable, which immediately makes a solid case for international tourists. Of course, the city’s incredible culture, individuality, and history also help make it a great place to stop by for anything from business prospects, to a romantic trip, to a family summer vacation. Sukhumvit, in particular, is known for its commercial activity, and is quite representative of the “real people” in the city, as it is bigger on open-air markets than it is tourist attractions.

One of the great things about Bangkok is that it is home to many cozy animal cafes. For those who love pets, or animals in general, these can be incredible locations to “chill out” during Bangkok’s hot summer days, and feel the comfort of some canines at the same time. One of the advantages of Barkyard BKK in Sukhumvit is that you can actually enjoy your beer while dogs run around a community space.

In fact, Barkyard BKK is the first “dog-centric” space ever constructed in the city, which is why it’s the perfect place to take your dog. Of course, it should be noted that unlike other animal cafes, this is a community space. As a result, the space is more meant for pet owners to BRING their dogs rather than for tourists to pet dogs, for example. Regardless, Barkyard BKK is the perfect place to bring your dog, for many different reasons.

First and foremost, there is ice water available at Barkyard BKK so that your dog can remain cool. This is quite important, as it can get very hot during the summer. There are also treats available, as well. If you are looking to groom your dog - there’s a salon here, as well! As if all of this wasn’t enough, there is even a doggie swimming pool for your pet to play and interact with his or her fellow peers. There is also even a spacious field for your dog to roam free and even “play catch” with you, so you can make sure your dog is exercising adequately in the summer.

Secondly, one of the most incredible aspects of Barkyard BKK is that you can actually let your dog stay there! This can be incredibly convenient for families and couples who want to explore the city pet-free while still making sure that their dog is completely safe. For those who might worry more than others, there is even a “bark-cam” to monitor your dog while you are out and about. There are air-conditioned suites and exercise/playtime options within the suites itself, as well. At Barkyard BKK, you don’t have to worry about your dog being mistreated or mishandled! The establishment is considered one of the most upscale dog hotels in the entire city.

There are food and drinks for pet owners to get to know each other or simply take care of their hunger, and a noodle stand is often featured on weekends for those who might crave a little more sustenance. It should also be noted that Barkyard BKK does cost more than the average dog cafe, because of the amenities and the fact that it is an actual dog hotel. If you bring your dog to Bangkok, this is one must-see attraction!
