Pet-friendly condos in Bangkok: 2026 report

Top takeaways

• The building decides, not the city or the landlord. A condo's juristic person can lawfully ban pets outright; Bangkok's 2026 ordinance sets citywide maximums but cannot force a building to allow pets its bylaws prohibit.
• Two approvals are really needed where a landlord is renting out a unit: the landlord's agreement, and the building's own pet policy — a landlord's verbal yes means nothing if the juristic rules say no.
• Typical terms, where pets ARE allowed: 10–15 kg weight cap, 5,000–20,000 THB pet deposit, and a 1–2 pet limit per unit under the new city ordinance.
• Enforcement is real — a documented case fined a condo owner over 140,000 THB for keeping a pet against building rules.
• Named pet-friendly buildings exist (Section 04) is drawn from public portal/marketing reporting, not independently verified against each building's live bylaws — always reconfirm before signing.

Bangkok's 2026 pet-keeping Ordinance, explained

The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration's Ordinance on Animal Keeping and Release Control (2024) came into full force citywide in January 2026. This is the one section of the report built on primary official/legal sourcing rather than portal aggregation.

The single most important nuance: this is a ceiling, not an entitlement. The Ordinance limits how many pets any Bangkok resident may legally keep and adds welfare/registration requirements — it does not grant a right to keep a pet inside a specific condo whose own co-owner regulations prohibit animals. Confirm both layers (city law and building bylaw) before assuming a pet is welcome.

Buildings BAANLYY has verified

Every building below carries a pet policy we read from a source that speaks for the building itself — the developer’s own site, the juristic office, or the registered regulations. Property portals are excluded deliberately: Hipflat, FazWaz and thailand-property.com all resolve to one underlying database, so three of them agreeing is one source agreeing with itself. The list is short because the bar is real, and it grows as each building is checked.

“Pet friendly” and “pet approved” are not the same thing here. Pet friendly means nothing narrows who may live there. Pet approved means pets are permitted with a condition attached — a weight cap, particular floors, a dedicated building. Neither means your landlord has agreed: the building’s rules and the unit’s owner are two separate permissions and both must say yes. The difference, in full.

Buildings others report as pet-friendly

Compiled from property-portal and relocation-service reporting (see Methodology). These are buildings that have been publicly named or marketed as allowing pets. We have not verified them against the building’s own rules, and they are kept separate from the list above for that reason — a portal roundup is a lead worth calling about, not a policy you can rely on before signing.

Typical costs and limits where pets are allowed

Where a building does permit pets, the recurring pattern across the sources we reviewed is: a weight or size cap, most commonly around 10–15 kg for dogs (a handful of luxury developments, such as one reportedly allowing up to ~25 kg, go higher); a pet deposit of roughly 5,000–20,000 THB on top of the standard security deposit (occasionally structured as a full extra month's rent instead); a cap on number of animals per unit, reinforced from 2026 onward by the BMA Ordinance's own 1–2-pet ceiling; and house rules governing common areas — leashing, service-lift-only policies for pets, and noise expectations. None of these figures are set by national law; they are set independently by each building and, where relevant, by the landlord.

Data gaps — what we could not verify

There is no centralized, official, continuously updated database that cross-references every Bangkok condo project against its current pet policy — juristic-person house rules are set and amended building by building and are not systematically published. The building list in Section 04 reflects what property portals and relocation-service sites report publicly; we have not independently confirmed each entry against that building's current juristic-office regulations, and because the 2026 BMA Ordinance is newly in full force, enforcement patterns and how individual buildings are adjusting their own rules in response are still emerging at the time of writing. Treat every building named here as a lead worth checking, not a confirmed current policy.

Methodology & source notes

This report blends two categories of data, labelled throughout rather than presented with equal authority:

• Official/legal data — the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration's 2024 Ordinance on Animal Keeping and Release Control (in full force January 2026) and the Condominium Act's framework giving juristic persons authority to set house rules, including pet restrictions.
• Portal-aggregate and marketing-derived reporting — the named pet-friendly buildings (Section 03), typical weight caps and deposit ranges (Section 04), compiled from multiple published property-portal, relocation-service and real-estate-agency sources as of mid-2026. These reflect what is publicly reported or marketed, not a verified audit of current bylaws.

We did not fabricate a figure anywhere a verifiable one was unavailable — see the Data Gaps section above.

Assumptions

• Weight caps, deposit ranges and building policies reflect publicly reported terms as of mid-2026 and can change without notice.
• The BMA Ordinance figures (pet ceiling, registration and vaccination requirements, registration deadline) apply within Bangkok Metropolitan Administration jurisdiction specifically; other Thai provinces and municipalities may have different or no equivalent ordinance.
• A building's pet policy is set by its juristic person and can be amended by co-owner vote; what's reported here is not a guarantee for any specific unit or point in time.
• All figures are indicative, educational market research — not legal advice. Confirm any building's current pet policy directly with its juristic office before signing a lease or purchase agreement.

Why this report, not just a portal listing page

Most portal "pet-friendly condo" articles list buildings without explaining the legal layer underneath — specifically, that Bangkok's new 2026 city ordinance sets a maximum, not a right, and that a building's own juristic rules are what actually decide access. This report puts the legal framework (Section 02) alongside the building list (Section 03) and the cost/limit patterns (Section 04), and discloses explicitly what we could not verify (Section 05) rather than presenting a building list as a guarantee.
