Central Festival Samui is an outdoor shopping mall in Chaweng. With many shops and restaurants it’s a nice place to spend some time.
They recently introduced a Pets Park which is basically a small amount of sand and a small obstacle course. So nothing spectacular but fair play to them for trying to become more pet friendly.
Upon entering Central Festival from the parking, there is a sign with a list of rules for bringing your pet along. Along with the mandatory temperature checks.
The rules are pretty standard, including keeping your pet on a lead, clean up any mess, no excessive barking and put them in a cart/carry them in indoor areas. Not allowed in the food areas. Not all shops allow dogs in, so please be respectful of each shops rules.
There is another rules sign at the pet area itself which are a copy of the ones at the parking. They also have dog poop bags available in case you have forgotten to bring them with you.
There are other cool photo spots and Central Festival are always having different activities so the signs change often.
I got to wander around the area whilst mammy did some banking. It’s a great place to wander around and means I don’t have to stay at home whlie the hoomans do their chores. As not all shops allow doggos inside, it did sometimes mean that one of them had to stay outside with me whilst the other went inside. So it’s not 100% ideal, but still better than having to stay at home!
Definitely another good place to go and have some sniffs, and once you are done with your shopping you can go for a walk at Chweng Lake, my favourite which is right next to Central Festival.
