If you have a dog in Bangkok, you already know the struggle. Your condo lobby is not a dog run, the soi outside is full of motorcycles and street food carts, and your pup is giving you that look at 6 PM every single day. The good news? Bangkok actually has some solid dog parks scattered around the city, and a few of them are genuinely great. The trick is knowing where they are and, better yet, finding a condo close enough that the trip doesn't eat your whole evening.

Benchasiri Park: The Go-To for Sukhumvit Dog Owners

Benchasiri Park sits right between BTS Phrom Phong and BTS Emporium, tucked behind the Emporium shopping mall on Sukhumvit Soi 24. It is one of the most popular green spaces in central Bangkok, and in the early mornings and late afternoons, you will see dozens of dogs running around with their owners.

There is no official fenced dog area here, so you will want to keep your dog leashed unless they have solid recall. But the shaded paths, open grass areas, and the general vibe make it a favorite for dog owners in the Phrom Phong and Thonglor neighborhoods. A friend of mine rents a one bedroom at The Lumpini 24 on Soi 24 for about 18,000 THB per month and walks her golden retriever here every evening. Ten minutes door to park.

If you are looking for a condo in this area, expect to pay anywhere from 15,000 to 35,000 THB for a pet friendly one bedroom, depending on the building and how new it is. Older buildings along Soi 22 and Soi 24 tend to be more relaxed about pet policies. Check out our guide on pet friendly condos in Bangkok for more details on what to look for.

Rot Fai Park (Suan Rot Fai): The Big One in Chatuchak

If your dog needs real space to run, Rot Fai Park near MRT Chatuchak Park and BTS Mo Chit is where you want to be. This is one of the largest parks in Bangkok, and it has a dedicated, fenced off dog park area where your pet can go off leash. It is divided into zones for small and large dogs, which is a nice touch if you have a chihuahua that gets nervous around huskies.

The dog park section has water stations, benches for owners, and enough room that even high energy breeds can actually tire themselves out. Weekday mornings are quieter, but weekends turn into a full social event for both dogs and humans. I have seen people set up picnic blankets and spend half the day there.

Condos near Rot Fai Park are surprisingly affordable compared to Sukhumvit. Around Phahonyothin and Lat Phrao, you can find pet friendly studios and one bedrooms for 10,000 to 20,000 THB per month. Buildings like The Line Jatujak and Lumpini Park Phahon 32 are popular with dog owners who want quick access to the park. The commute to central Bangkok is easy too, since you are right on both the BTS and MRT lines.

Benjakitti Park: A Newer Option Near Queen Sirikit

Benjakitti Park got a major expansion in recent years and is now a genuinely beautiful urban park stretching from MRT Queen Sirikit National Convention Centre toward Sukhumvit. The elevated walkway, the lake, and the landscaped areas make it feel like you are not in Bangkok at all.

While there is no dedicated fenced dog area, the wide paths and green spaces along the newer extension are very dog friendly, especially in the early morning before the joggers take over. A couple I know moved from Thonglor to a two bedroom at Supalai Premier Asoke for around 28,000 THB per month specifically because they could walk their two beagles to Benjakitti in under five minutes.

The Asoke and Rama 4 corridor is getting more popular with renters who want green space without giving up access to the city center. If you are weighing different neighborhoods, our best areas to live in Bangkok breakdown covers what each zone offers.

Smaller Parks and Hidden Spots Worth Knowing

Beyond the big three, Bangkok has a handful of smaller dog friendly spaces that are worth knowing about. Suan Luang Rama IX, out past Srinakarin, has open fields where dogs can run in the cooler hours. It is further from the train lines, but rents in that area drop to 8,000 to 14,000 THB for decent pet friendly condos.

Some condo developments also have their own pet areas. Buildings like Whizdom Essence Sukhumvit 101 near BTS Punnawithi and Ideo Mobi Sukhumvit 66 near BTS Udom Suk have rooftop or ground floor pet zones that let your dog stretch without leaving the property. These are worth asking about during condo tours, because they are not always listed in online ads.

There is also a growing trend of private dog parks and cafes in Bangkok, like Puppy Planet near Ekkamai, where you can pay a small entry fee for a fully fenced, clean play area. Great for rainy season when the public parks turn muddy.

Finding a Condo That Actually Allows Dogs

Here is the reality check. Not every condo in Bangkok allows pets, and the ones that do often have size and breed restrictions. Some buildings cap it at 5 kilograms, which rules out basically anything bigger than a pomeranian. Others charge a pet deposit of 5,000 to 15,000 THB on top of your security deposit.

Always confirm the pet policy with the building juristic office, not just the landlord. Landlords sometimes say yes without checking, and then you end up in a fight with management after you have already moved in. It helps to have this sorted before you sign anything. Our tips on renting a condo in Bangkok cover what to verify before committing.

Bangkok is getting better for dog owners every year. More parks, more pet friendly buildings, and more services popping up around the city. The key is matching your neighborhood to a park you will actually use regularly, because a great dog park 45 minutes away is a dog park you will visit once and forget about. If you are searching for a pet friendly rental near one of these parks, try browsing listings on superagent.co. You can filter by neighborhood and get matched with condos that actually welcome your four legged roommate.
