Adapting to Bangkok life

My New House

We moved from the beautiful island of Koh Samui to the bustling city of Bangkok. I was born and raised in Singapore, so I am used to city life. Whilst I loved Samui for it’s amazing beaches and laidback lifestyle, I am really enjoying being back in amongst the hustle and bustle. My nose has been on high alert from the moment I touched down and I can’t take in all these smells quick enough. But what is it like living in Bangkok with a dog?

My first couple of weeks have been spent settling in to my new environment. The streets around my new house are so cool with lots of things to see and I can even get next to the river in the middle of the city.

I’ve quickly adapted to my new house and it’s so cool as I have a yard outside that I can sniff around in and most importantly get in my sunbathing sessions. Sometimes I even get lost wandering around, and mammy has to come find me.

Of course, I’ve made a few enemies with the neighbours dogs, I just can’t help it, I have to show them who is boss, no matter how big or mean they look. I also made some friends in Carrot the Yorkie and the first Westie I’ve met in my whole 2 years in Thailand, a little cutie called Chico. Turns out we already follow each other on Insta hehe.

I’ve already found 3 dog friendly places I can hang out which makes me so happy. Many people say Bangkok is not dog friendly, but I am happy here. I am even allowed in the taxis with no problem. It’s so much easier than it was in Singapore!

So far I’ve found The Commons & The Fox both in Thonglor & Dog Park 49 which is dedicated to doggos.

I’ve created a list of all the dog friendly places I go to. I will be updating it as I find and explore more. You can see this list here. If you have any to add, please let me know.
