Purr Cat Cafe

4 months ago I have told you about my friend named Fathiya, right? When we were in thailand, she was the bravest girl that I have ever met because she wanted to visit so many unique place in another country alone. On February 14 after the daily program is over, she told me if she wanted to go to some unique place called Purr Cat Cafe. Its commonly called Cat’s Cafe because it had a lot of cats. Because its already sunset, so she asked me to go with her. 

 

That's me with Heng (Middle) and Nitchakan/Nin (Left)

Actually we did not know exactly where it’s located. Fathiya asked two of her thai friends, Heng Thawantit and Nitchakan Nawapusanakanok from Kasetsart University to join with us and I think we have found thai-tour guide without any charge hehe. Along the journey, we had to get ride on BTS but since the BTS station located inside the Siam Paragon Mall so we also have to got down on three stairs at the Mall after took off the ticket. After that we trough the crowd of protesters and walked as far as one kilometers.  Around ten minutes walk from the BTS at Thong Lor on Sukhumvit Soi 53, Purr Cat Cafe is located on a quiet residential street in a small house. Over the cloudy sky I just hope it does not rain until we reached our destination.

The Building is look like a cottage-like building. There's a small western garden with white cast iron furniture that gives an anglo and feminine atmosphere before you step inside. The interior is look like a british cottage: the white brick and dark wood walls against dainty armchairs and sofas shout afternoon tea all the way. Innumerable framed cat pictures and photographs tacked on the walls really give a tidy and polished vibe, while even more cat figures and artworks, both vintage and new, decorate every nook and cranny without being too ornate. Two iconic cat heads on the grey brick wall in the first room can also be made to order. This is a place that takes its cats seriously. Before you enter you have to take off your shoes, wash your hands and read the cat rules – don’t poke them, tease them, pick them up or feed them human cake. Totally, we spent around 4 hours in there. Thank you so much to Fathiya and Heng for took their time to shooting the video.
