Cage-Free Dog Hotel & Grooming in Ekkamai

Holiday Haus is a cage-free dog hotel in Ekkamai built around a simple but meaningful idea: your dog deserves more than a kennel. Tucked off Sukhumvit 63 in one of Bangkok’s most walkable and dog-forward neighborhoods, Holiday Haus operates as a full-service pet social club — with hotel boarding, daycare, grooming, a pet shop, and a photo studio all under one roof. For Bangkok dog owners who want their dog cared for with real attention, this is one of the more considered options in the city.

A Cage-Free Philosophy That Actually Means Something

The cage-free dog hotel experience at Holiday Haus starts with the basics: no cages, no restrictions, and no long stretches of isolation. Dogs move, socialize, and settle into the space on their own terms. The team observes each dog’s personality and temperament from the start — some guests thrive with open group play, while others prefer a quieter corner and more one-on-one time. Either way, the approach adjusts to the dog. That kind of attentiveness is harder to find than it should be, and it shows in how the place operates.

Beyond that, the staff functions less like kennel workers and more like a second family for the dogs in their care. The Holiday Haus team describes itself as trusted companions — present for play, comfort, and company throughout the stay. For owners who feel the anxiety of leaving a dog behind while traveling, that ethos makes a genuine difference.

Hotel, Daycare, Grooming & More

The dog hotel at Holiday Haus covers both overnight stays and daytime boarding, with options for night care and extended overnight packages. Daycare runs as a full-day service, giving dogs structure, socialization, and supervised activity while their owners are at work or out of the city.

Grooming sits alongside the hotel as a core service. The salon offers basic baths, full styling, facial and paw trims, teeth brushing, ear cleaning, nail care, and coat-specific treatments — all delivered with a stress-minimizing approach that accounts for each dog’s history and temperament. The team takes the position that grooming should be calm and positive, not rushed or forced. For anxious dogs especially, that care in execution matters.

The pet studio — a dedicated photo space — rounds out what Holiday Haus offers. It gives owners the chance to bring home something lasting from a boarding stay or grooming session, which speaks to how the place thinks about the overall experience.

Finding Holiday Haus in Ekkamai

Holiday Haus sits on Sukhumvit 63 in Ekkamai, a neighborhood that has become one of Bangkok’s most naturally dog-integrated areas. The location is accessible by BTS — Ekkamai station sits nearby — and the surrounding streets are walkable enough that getting a dog to and from an appointment or a stay feels easy rather than stressful.

For owners based in Ekkamai, Thong Lo, or the wider Sukhumvit corridor, Holiday Haus makes a strong case as a neighborhood anchor for dog care. It handles the practical — grooming and boarding — while holding to a standard that treats dog well-being as the whole point, not a secondary consideration. In a city where good dog care options continue to grow, Holiday Haus is one worth knowing about.

The Grand Pawlace
The Grand Pawlace began with two people and two deeply loved dogs. Luke, a frequent traveler based in Bangkok, often faced a challenge many pet parents know too well: finding a place he could truly trust for his dogs, Gizmo and Bloo, his two chihuahuas. While there were many boarding options available, something always felt missing. The spaces were often small, restrictive, and impersonal—more like temporary holding areas than a place a dog could genuinely feel at home. Billie saw it firsthand. During visits, it became clear that many environments lacked the warmth, comfort, and freedom they believed every dog deserves. Because to them, dogs are not just pets—they are family. With Luke’s deep love for animals and Billie’s vision for creating something better, countless conversations turned into one clear idea: what if there was a place in Bangkok where dogs could live freely, safely, and happily, just like they would at home? That idea became The Grand Pawlace—a boutique, home-style dog boarding experience designed around comfort, care, and connection. Located near BTS Bang Chak, our space offers a cage-free environment where dogs can move freely, socialize in small groups, and relax in a calm, thoughtfully designed setting. Our lush garden and outdoor areas allow for play, exploration, and sunshine, while our climate-controlled indoor lounges—equipped with air purifiers and premium bedding—provide a cool and cozy retreat. We are also introducing a dedicated swimming pool, giving dogs a fun and refreshing way to enjoy longer stays. With a limited number of guests and 24/7 attentive care, every dog receives the love, attention, and personalized experience they deserve. At The Grand Pawlace, we don’t just provide a place to stay—we create a home away from home.

Karo (Pridi)
Karo Coffee Roasters on Soi Pridi Banomyong 26 is the original home of one of Bangkok's most respected specialty coffee roasteries — a neighbourhood institution with a loyal local following, serious coffee credentials, and the kind of unhurried atmosphere that makes people stay longer than they planned. The Story Karo was founded by Sri Lankan-born Karo Iyash, a professional barista whose passion for coffee is matched by his commitment to community. The "Pridi" neighbourhood — Phra Khanong Nuea — was ranked among Time Out's world's coolest neighbourhoods, and Karo has been part of what shaped that reputation. The brand has since expanded to multiple Bangkok locations (Thonglor, Surasak, Udomsuk, Ari), but Pridi 26 remains the HQ: the place where the roasting ethos was established and the community first formed. The Coffee This is where Karo's beans begin. The roastery sources distinctive micro lots from around the world, with Thai beans from Doi Saket — including yellow bourbon trees exclusive to the brand — sitting alongside rotating single origins from Ethiopia, Kenya, Panama, Nepal, and beyond. Three in-house espresso blends anchor the menu, each with its own character. The Hot Filter from Doi Saket is fruity and aromatic. The Split serves espresso and piccolo separately, side by side. The Mexican Mocha brings fragrant warmth with a spicy finish. The Lavender Latte — topped with dried lavender — is a signature that has earned its own devoted following. Home-fermented ginger beer rounds out the non-coffee options. Every cup reflects a direct relationship between Karo and his beans. The Food Breakfast and brunch are taken seriously here. Loaded sourdough sandwiches, house-smoked bacon, cinnamon rolls, French toast, and freshly baked pastries — including vegan and gluten-free options — make Karo a destination for the full morning rather than just the coffee. The atmosphere does the rest: a loft-style shophouse with brushed concrete walls, indoor and outdoor seating, and a steady flow of regulars, creatives, and visitors who have heard the word. Bringing Your Dog Karo Pridi is dog-friendly, and the outdoor seating on a leafy, quiet soi makes it a natural stop with a dog in tow. The café even offers gelato for dogs. The neighbourhood itself — calm, residential, with a fruit market and independent businesses nearby — makes for a pleasant walk before or after your coffee. Pup Cities Awards Karo took home the Silver Medal for Best Café at the Pup Cities Awards 2025 — a recognition that reflects what regulars have known for a while: this is one of the best places in Bangkok to spend a morning with your dog.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Pup Cities - Bangkok (@pup_cities_bangkok)

VIVIN Suk 22
VIVIN Suk 22 is a dog-friendly café and bistro set inside a beautifully restored wooden house on Sukhumvit 22, right in the heart of Phrom Phong. Leafy terraces, cozy corners, and vintage details give it a warmth that's rare in the city — the kind of place that slows you down without trying. Dogs are welcome every day, and once a month VIVIN hosts a dedicated dog-friendly event with treats, photos, and a proper sense of community. The food and drinks match the setting. All-day brunch, artisanal cheeses and cold cuts, warm soups, pastries, specialty coffee, and refreshing drinks — all sourced from local Thai and regional producers, all-natural or certified organic, and made with a genuine commitment to quality over convenience. One of three locations from the VIVIN family, Suk 22 is the one that feels most like a neighbourhood secret worth keeping.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Pup Cities - Bangkok (@pup_cities_bangkok)

Hund Haus
HUND HAUS is Bangkok's first premium dog social club, located near the Ekkamai-Rama 9 corridor at Sun Wichai Soi 14. Its tagline — "Dog First, Always" — is not a marketing phrase. It is the operating principle behind every design decision made here. The Story HUND HAUS was founded by Nathanich Smitchat, who grew up with dogs and came back from studying in San Francisco with a clear vision: to bring genuine dog-friendly culture to Bangkok at the level she had experienced abroad. The result is a purpose-built social club for dogs and their owners — not a café that allows dogs, and not a traditional dog park with basic facilities, but something more considered and more complete. The Space The site spans approximately one rai (around 1,600 sqm) of green space, designed by architecture firm ASWA with landscape by LAAB. A natural pool styled as a stream runs through the grounds, where dogs can wade and swim at no extra charge. The Green Area is entirely off-leash. An Introvert Dog Zone — a fenced section within the garden — provides a lower-stimulation option for dogs that prefer quieter socialisation. The architecture clusters retail, grooming, and a pavilion across distinct buildings, with the pool and lawn at the centre. The Amenities The self-wash zone is equipped with DoggyPotion products — the same shampoo the founder uses with her own dogs — available at no additional cost. The Hund Lounge daycare operates during the day, designed to feel like a home environment rather than a kennel, with dogs grouped by energy level. The pet store carries 10–15 curated brands, each hand-selected by the founder based on what she genuinely uses. A workshop room hosts regular themed activities — from seasonal events to off-site trips — that extend the community beyond the club itself. The space can also be hired for private events. Membership HUND HAUS operates on both a daily rate and a membership model, with annual membership representing a significant investment — a positioning that reflects the premium nature of the offer and the community it aims to build.

Hoya & friends Café
Hoya & Friends Café is a dog-friendly Bangkok café with roots in one of the city's most trusted pet treat brands. Born from the same family behind Hoya Barkery — known across Thailand for its all-natural dog and cat treats — the café brings that same care and ethos into a space where people and their dogs genuinely belong. The resident dogs set the tone from the moment you arrive: a sleek Dachshund, a wiggly Corgi, and a gentle Golden Retriever who move freely through the space and make the café feel less like a business and more like a home. The menu covers all-day breakfast and single-dish plates alongside coffee and drinks — simple, satisfying, and made fresh. For dog owners, the connection to Hoya Barkery goes beyond atmosphere. Hoya Barkery a homemade dog treat line from the same team, is available on-site — so your dog eats as well as you do. This isn't a ticketed dog experience or a novelty café. It's a neighborhood spot in Bangkok where dogs are part of the everyday, backed by a brand that has been thinking seriously about animal wellbeing since 2020.

Good Roots Yard 49
Good Roots sits inside Yard 49, one of Bangkok's greener community spaces, and the combination creates something the city doesn't always offer — room to slow down. The greenery and open layout soften the urban edge, and the food, coffee, and easy pace do the rest. It's one of the more genuinely dog-friendly spots in Bangkok — dogs settle here without being rushed, which says a lot about how the space is run.   This is a place for people who want good things done thoughtfully — a considered menu, well-made coffee, and an environment that works as well for your dog as it does for you. Not a destination that demands anything. Just a better way to spend an ordinary day in Bangkok.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Pup Cities - Bangkok (@pup_cities_bangkok)

Kynd Kulture
Kynd Kulture is a 100% plant-based restaurant at EKM6 on Ekkamai Soi 6, serving food built around a clear principle: that eating well should support your health, taste genuinely good, and cause as little harm as possible along the way. The Name and the Idea The name combines kindness and culture — and that combination runs through everything here, from sourcing to cooking to how guests are received. Kynd Kulture sits within EKM6, a pet-friendly community space anchored around plant-based living, which includes Plenti, a grocery store stocking organic and vegan products next door. The restaurant uses locally sourced, organic ingredients wherever possible, and cooks exclusively with olive oil rather than seed oils. Every dish is designed to include probiotics and prebiotics — fermented, gut-friendly ingredients woven naturally into the menu rather than added as afterthoughts. The Food The menu is split into two pillars. The Kynd side covers familiar, plant-based comfort: avocado toast with kimchi and edamame (Young Blood), acai bowls, croissants, and customisable bowls built from fresh ingredients to your mood. The Kulture side goes further, leaning into fermentation and functional nutrition. The Kulture Bowl is the signature — tempeh, hummus, kimchi, quinoa, soba noodles, pumpkin, mushrooms, and mixed greens in a spicy miso sauce, described by the kitchen as "sexy and nutritious." Krazy Spicy Pasta takes whole-wheat spaghetti and tosses it with fermented chilli olive oil and cashew nut cheese. The Kale and Tea Leaf Salad draws on the Burmese tradition of fermented tea leaves. The Whisky Burger delivers comfort in a charcoal bun with grilled tempeh and vegetables. Nothing here is an afterthought — the menu has been thought through with the same care you'd expect from a kitchen that takes food seriously. The Drinks The drinks list matches the food's ambition. Cold-pressed juices, probiotic smoothies, coconut cream concoctions, and a range of non-alcoholic cocktails and "faux alcohol" options sit alongside espresso-based coffee. The Dirty Coffee — espresso with coconut cream, oat milk, and vanilla bean — is a recurring favourite. The Space Inside, earth tones, warm materials, and a mosaic-tiled feature wall create a visually rich but grounded atmosphere. A glass frontage opens the interior to a green front lawn — the kind of outdoor space that changes the pace of a meal entirely. Bringing Your Dog Kynd Kulture is fully pet-friendly, and the front lawn makes it one of the most naturally welcoming spaces in Ekkamai for dogs and their owners. The whole EKM6 community shares that spirit — a calm, green, independently run pocket of the neighbourhood that rewards the detour. Pup Cities Awards Kynd Kulture took home the Silver Medal for Best Restaurant at the Pup Cities Awards 2025 — recognition that reflects both the quality of the food and the genuinely welcoming space they've built for Bangkok's dog-owning community.

Dog-friendly Restaurant in Bangkok. Playlys.

Playlys
Playlys brings the unhurried spirit of Provençal France into a lush Bangkok garden — and dogs belong here. Wide outdoor seating spreads beneath the trees. A pétanque court sits tucked into the garden. The French cuisine and drinks are generous enough to keep you well past your plans. When the weather turns, dogs come inside too, making this a space that holds up year-round. The food earns its place. The menu draws from the French bistro tradition — relaxed plates, good wine, and meals that don't rush you. The drinks list holds up on its own too. Playlys works as well for a long afternoon aperitif as it does for a full dinner. It's the kind of place where ordering one more glass feels like the obvious decision. Dog owners in Bangkok know how rare it is to find a space that gets both atmosphere and dog-friendliness right. Playlys gets both right. Dogs roam the outdoor garden freely. They join inside when the weather calls for it. The welcome stays consistent regardless of where you sit or how long you stay. No compromise on experience — for you or your dog. For Bangkok dog owners looking for somewhere that rewards a slow afternoon, Playlys delivers. Good food, genuine outdoor space, and a mood that's hard to manufacture. Come for one drink and leave two hours later — sun-warmed, unhurried, already planning your return. The South of France mood isn't a theme. It's a pace. Playlys earns it.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Pup Cities - Bangkok (@pup_cities_bangkok)

NINE Pastry
Nine Pastry is an artisan neighborhood bakery on Sukhumvit 22 — and a Bronze Winner in the Dog-Friendly Café category at the Pup Cities Awards 2025, voted by the Pup Cities community. What earned it that recognition is exactly what makes it worth visiting: exceptional bakes, genuine hospitality, and a space where dogs are as welcome as the croissants are good. There's nothing showy about Nine Pastry — it's the kind of place that builds a following through quiet consistency, great bread, and a warm neighborhood feel that keeps people coming back. For dog owners in the Phrom Phong area, this is a reliable, unpretentious dog-friendly Bangkok café that gets the basics exactly right. The Pup Cities Awards plaque is now proudly on display by the pastry counter — stop by, congratulate the team, and bring your pup along.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Pup Cities - Bangkok (@pup_cities_bangkok)

Benkoff
Benkoff is a tiny espresso bar on Thonglor Soi 9, built around two resident dachshunds and a genuine commitment to great coffee — a combination that has made it one of the most loved small cafés in Bangkok. The Space The café fits around eight people at most, occupying a compact corner inside NT Tower on Thong Lo. The interior is olive-green, warm, and vintage-inspired — less a commercial pet space and more a chic living room that happens to have two dachshunds in it. The intimacy is part of the appeal. It is the kind of place where you order at the counter, find a spot, and let the atmosphere do the rest. The Dogs Bobby and Billy are the resident dachshunds — and the unofficial mascots, proprietors, and main draw for a significant portion of visitors. They arrive at the café on a schedule (typically around 2pm), which Benkoff posts on its Instagram. Checking before you visit is recommended if meeting them is the point of the trip. When they are in, they wander freely and greet guests on their own terms, which is exactly as it should be. The Coffee Benkoff sources quality beans for both house blends and single origins — a detail that sets it apart from most pet cafés, where the animals are usually the main event and the coffee is secondary. The Toffee Koffee — a milk coffee infused with homemade salted caramel, topped with cream and a pretzel — is the signature and consistently praised. The Nut Cracker (medium roast) and dark roast iced Americano are also worth ordering for those who prefer their coffee without embellishment. Homemade pastries and banana muffins round out the food offer. The Merchandise Bobby & Friends is the companion merchandise brand born from Benkoff, carrying dachshund-themed clothing, accessories, keychains, hats, and a popular dog blind box series. The shop occupies a corner of the café and is worth browsing — the quality is notably better than typical café merch. Bringing Your Dog Benkoff is fully pet-friendly. Given the size of the space, it works best with calmer dogs comfortable in close quarters. The Thonglor Soi 9 area has enough to walk before or after, making a visit easy to fold into a broader neighbourhood outing.

Pridi
PRIDI is a Nordic-inspired all-day café and dining space in a converted mid-century home on Soi Pridi Banomyong 25 — and one of the Pup Cities team's favourite spots in Bangkok. The garden alone is worth the visit. The Name and the Space Pridi means "joy" in Thai, and the name earns its meaning. The café occupies a restored home from the 1950s and 60s, retaining its original architecture while gently transforming it into something chic, calm, and full of natural light. Vintage furniture sits beneath the original ceilings. Expansive windows overlook the garden. The aesthetic is white, clean, and quietly beautiful — mid-century modern in the truest sense, not as a theme, but as a living space that simply never needed to change much. The garden is a particular point of pride: lush, shaded, and unhurried, it has become one of the most memorable outdoor spaces on the Pridi-Thonglor corridor. The Coffee PRIDI roasts in-house and takes its beans seriously. The slow-bar offers an ever-changing selection of single origins — Ethiopian Asegedech Sholi, Kenyan Karimikul Kirinyaha, Costa Rican Roger Urena Tarrazu, among others. The Espresso Tonic with single-origin Ethiopian beans is a bright, citrus-forward choice. The Kabosu Kumquat, a signature seasonal drink, is the house favourite — tart, fragrant, and genuinely unlike anything else on Thonglor. Beans are selected and roasted in partnership with respected roasters Livid and Hands & Heart. The Food The kitchen is overseen by Chef Kanta "Toiting" Siddidharm, who trained at Gaa, 80/20, and Noma — Denmark's landmark restaurant and one of the most influential kitchens in modern gastronomy. That pedigree is visible in every dish without the food ever feeling inaccessible or performative. Open sandwiches are a strength: the Mortadella & Paris Ham and the Avocado Ama Ebi are both beautifully balanced. The chicken liver pâté on crispy sourdough with strawberry jam and housemade cream cheese is a standout. Pastries include a Rhubarb and Fig Danish and a Cardamom Pistachio and Raisin Danish — both worth ordering alongside coffee. Endives with preserved nutmeg and the organic salad with fermented nutmeg dressing and mozzarella reflect the Nordic sensibility: restrained, seasonal, and quietly elegant. Bringing Your Dog PRIDI is fully pet-friendly, and the garden is where the experience comes into its own for dog owners. Shaded, generous, and genuinely beautiful, it is the kind of outdoor space that makes a long morning feel well spent. The Pup Cities team has featured it — the post is linked below.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Pup Cities - Bangkok (@pup_cities_bangkok)

haps – Brunch & More
Haps is a dog-friendly brunch café tucked inside Piman 49 on Sukhumvit 49, in the heart of the Thonglor neighbourhood. The space is warm and unhurried — designed around the idea that a good morning should slow you down rather than rush you through it. Dogs are welcome indoors, which makes this an easy, no-compromise stop for a proper sit-down brunch with your pup.   The menu leans into creative brunch done well — think Thai-inflected twists on familiar favourites, paired with specialty coffee that holds its own. The kind of place where you order breakfast, stay for a second cup, and leave feeling like the day got off to the right start.
