As We Have Kittens,

we tend to post a lot about them and cats,

 so here is a post for all dog lovers out there, specifically Huskies, the great news is that the Huskie petting cafe is right here in Thailand, in Bangkok to be exact, the True Love Café, a wonderful place where you can get a taste of Thai cuisine, or enjoy some refreshments in the company of dozens of huskies, the venue opened in 2013, when Chotiros Ratanabirabongse, Paw for short, a long-time husky breeder, decided to convert his farm into a place where people could interact and learn more about this wonderful canine breed,

  the place instantly became a hit with tourists, and today it is one of Bangkok’s most popular attractions, to be able to meet the 25 huskies of True Love Café, the doggies get 5 different play times every day, 3 of which (12:30pm, 3:30pm and 6:30pm) are open to human visitors, but before you get to enter their caged areas to play with them and pet them, there’s a strict protocol that you have to follow, visitors must wash and disinfect their hands, put on plastic foot coverings and watch an etiquette video explaining various rules that need to be followed when interacting with the dogs, 

the True Love Café is home to 25 huskies, 2 Australian Shepherds, 1 Japanese Akita and 1 little Shih Tzu, the huskies are split into three seperate groups, each with their own enclosure, because they will fight if put together, however, they are all very friendly with humans, and love nothing more than posing for selfies and being petted,

as the venue is so popular it’s a good idea to call for a reservation, rather than showing up unannounced, Symone Oei of The Smart Local blog made the mistake of dropping by without calling in first, and had to wait for two hours to enter True Love Café, you can see her visit in the above video,

above is another video showing what to expect, so how do you get there? the nearest BTS station is Ari, then it's a short cab ride to the cafe as it is situated in a housing estate, the entrance fee is 350 baht (S$14) which can be redeemed for a cake and drink, opening hours, Tues to Thurs: 12.30pm and 3.30pm, Fri to Sun: 12.30pm, 3.30pm and 6pm, closed on Mondays, the address is, 153 Soi Ari Samphan 2, Phahon Yothin Rd, Samsen Nai Phaya Thai, what a great place to visit.
