While there are plenty of dog and cat cafes out there, now Corgi lovers have a dedicated place to get their puppy fix thanks to Bangkok's 'Corgi in the Garden' cafe.
Corgi in the Garden is a Thailand-based cafe that originally started when Tanchanok Kanawaong was faced with an oversized litter. He simply wanted to share the joy with others and decided to bring the pups into the cafe. As a result, visitors will find themselves greeted by a dozen adorable corgis, each of which has an equally adorable name like Butter or Blossom. For just $11, customers can enjoy a one-hour session with the pups, and, of course, grab some coffee.
With the popularity of spots like Corgi in the Garden, it suggests that retailers are becoming increasingly pet-friendly.
