Thailand’s first pet resort was launched this weekend at Cha-am, a beach destination popular among wealthy Thais and foreigners who can now check in with their beloved furry friends, news reports said on Sunday.
The Regent Cha-am Beach Resort hotel on Saturday officially opened its pets-only wing, a two-storey building with 11 air-conditioned rooms, a private walkway to the beach and a designated pooh-pooh garden in the back, said the Bangkok Post newspaper.
The hotel’s management said the pet resort is a response to popular demand.
”We’ve found that our main customers are family groups and most of them are pet lovers who usually worry about their pets left behind at home, so we designed this project in response to their need,” said Piyamarn Techapaibul, the hotel’s MD.
Cha-am is situated on the coast of the Gulf of Thailand, about 100km south of Bangkok. It is a popular weekend getaway, especially for Thai families. — Sapa-DPA
