BKKats Day 2 True Love Cafe x Platinum x Siam

We slept real late on our first night so the two of us were slightly zombie-like, though this was a consistent vein in most of our mornings. We walked around the market area for a bit and hailed a cab to the True Love Husky Cafe! The cafe has 3 specific timeslots and the first begins at 1230. It is usually advisable to arrive at 1200 to avoid long lines and disappointment so we set off early just in case we got caught in a jam/got lost etc. Guess we were a little too cautious though because we reached the place at 1030 and... there was absolutely nothing to do there, haha.

Friendly kitty just chilling in the shade. 


The other session times are stated on this board! 

We were so early and had no idea what to do so at first we just hung around and took some photos, lol. 


A kind security guard of a condo nearby came over and invited us to sit with him in the shade which we gratefully accepted. The sky was beautiful but the sun was also scorching. 

This huge truck selling all kinds of market goods came in and out, it was like an ice-cream truck except without the ice-cream haha. 

The security guard got us a tuktuk that was supposed to bring us out in search of a quick massage to kill time before our husky session. However by the time we got to those places, we didn't have enough time to get a full massage so we just ended up having a joy ride, haha. 

Finally we were allowed to enter! 


We were so glad to be able to get into air-conditioning, the place was really clean and cute with loads of husky toys. 


Before arriving at the cafe, I read a couple of reviews about the prices etc but all those reviews' info seem to have become outdated. Here is what we experienced:

Everyone pays 350 baht which comes with a drink and dessert of your choice, this is all you will get, you can no longer choose the option of a main. There is a menu for main courses as well and those are charged separately. 

Thai chicken stew which didn't taste thai to me but was delicious. The portion is pretty small and would probably only satisfy the appetite of a girl, haha. 

Our drinks and cakes! We demolished our food and drinks pretty quickly and eagerly waited for the time to see the huskies. Since we were there for the 1230 slot, the pups were released around 1300! 

Two border collies amongst the huskies. 

Excited girls! Most of the dogs were pretty uninterested in the visitors and were more keen on grabbing snacks and licking on ice provided by the staff. It took some time for them to calm down and a few were more receptive to us, but it did take some quiet cajoling. 

Baby sleeping on my thigh :') 

I wuv you. 


Twinzies!

And a kiss for me! 

Going crazy at snack time. 



This girl was particularly calm and beautiful.

It's absolutely amazing being surrounded by so many of those majestic creatures. 

Joni trying to grab a shot with Momo, he's a shitzu x japanese spitz! So so so so so adorable. 



Final husky picture! This was taken towards the end when all of them were a bit tired and restless, they're not meant to be out in the heat for longer than an hour so I think they knew it was time for them to go soon. And for them, that meant lunch... so they were excited, haha. 

We were a little upset during the visit because we saw some visitors "playing" with the dogs in a really rough manner. It hardly seemed like playing even, grabbing their limbs and agitating them, it made us so angry ): Overall though, it was quite a splendid experience, I'm glad we made it there. 

After having our fill of puppy loving, we finally hopped into a cab to head to Platinum Mall to begin our shopping spree! 




Not too bad a loot bag for a 3 hour stint :3 

We were starving on the way back to our hotel (wanted to head back to put down our crazy bags and to rest a little) and saw my favourite pork skewerssssss. 

Best. Shitz. Eva. 

Stopped by Siam Paragon for dinner and bumped into Tom, bahahahha. 

Shopping at the night markets outside of Siam, perf. 

Drink break!

Really cute and kind street hawker. 

We were mad tired by then so we took a tuktuk back to the hotel to dump our stuff before heading to the massage parlour downstairs. It was soooooooooo great to have a good massage after a whole day of walking and lugging huge bags. 

After our massage we went out to the streets to seek food for supper :3

Legendary grilled fish, it was SO GOOOOOD. 

Some fried egg with mussels. 

And not to forget our favourite pork skewer!

Pretty majestic supper if I do say so myself. 

Happy end to the night!
