Quick summary

Most Bangkok high-rise condos still restrict or ban pets outright through their own juristic (co-owner) rules — that decision sits with each building, not with the landlord or the city. Where pets are allowed, expect a weight cap around 10–15 kg (a few luxury towers go higher), a pet deposit of roughly 5,000–20,000 THB on top of the standard deposit, and limits on number of animals. Bangkok's new 2026 Ordinance on Animal Keeping and Release Control adds citywide registration, microchipping and rabies-vaccination requirements, plus a maximum of 1–2 pets per unit depending on size — but critically, it does not force any building to allow pets that its own bylaws prohibit. We name several buildings publicly reported as pet-friendly below, with the caveat that policies change and must be reconfirmed directly with each building's juristic office.

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.

RuleRequirementNotes
Governing lawBMA Ordinance on Animal Keeping and Release Control (2024), in full force citywide from January 2026Sets Bangkok-wide maximums, registration and welfare rules
Unit-size pet ceiling20–80 sqm: max 1 pet · 80 sqm and above: max 2 petsA legal ceiling, not a right to keep a pet — see next row
Does this override a building's “No Pets” bylaw?NoThe condo's juristic person (management body) can still ban pets outright; the Ordinance sets the city's outer limit, it does not force any building to allow pets
RegistrationMicrochip by a licensed veterinarian, plus district-office registration within 120 days of a pet's birth or 30 days of bringing it into BangkokMandatory citywide, independent of any building rule
VaccinationProof of rabies vaccination required to complete registrationMandatory citywide
Existing pets already in BangkokMust be registered with the local district office by April 9, 2026Grandfathering deadline; applies even if you've owned the pet for years

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 publicly reported 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 — not a BAANLYY-verified live audit of each juristic person's current bylaws, which can and do change.

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.

05

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 03 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.

Assumptions

08

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.

Frequently asked

Does Thai law give condo owners a right to keep pets?Not automatically. Under the Condominium Act, each building's juristic person (the co-owners' management body) can set house rules — including a rule banning pets entirely — as long as that rule doesn't contradict the law or unfairly infringe co-owners' rights. So whether you can keep a pet is fundamentally a building-by-building question, not a national entitlement, and it's decided by the specific condo's regulations, not by the landlord alone.
What is Bangkok's 2026 pet law, and how many pets can I keep in my condo?It's the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) Ordinance on Animal Keeping and Release Control (2024), which came into full force citywide in January 2026. It requires microchipping by a licensed vet, district-office registration (within 120 days of a pet's birth or 30 days of bringing it into Bangkok), and proof of rabies vaccination. For unit size, it sets a maximum of 1 pet in units of 20–80 sqm and 2 pets in units of 80 sqm or larger. Important: that's a city-wide ceiling, not a guarantee — see the next answer.
If my condo's rules say “No Pets,” does the new Bangkok ordinance change that?No. The BMA Ordinance regulates pet-keeping city-wide (registration, vaccination, and a maximum pet count per unit size) — it does not override a building's own juristic rules. If your condo's bylaws prohibit pets, that prohibition still stands even though the city ordinance would otherwise allow you one or two animals. Always check the specific building's rules, not just the city law.
How much is a typical pet deposit in a Bangkok condo?There's no fixed legal figure. Based on aggregated reporting from Bangkok rental and relocation sources, pet-friendly landlords commonly charge an additional 5,000–20,000 THB on top of the standard security deposit, and some ask for a full extra month's rent (a “double deposit”) instead. Treat this as a negotiated, building- and landlord-specific cost — get the exact figure and refund conditions written into the lease.
Which Bangkok buildings are actually known to allow pets?Property-portal reporting names buildings including Ashton Morph 38 and Ideo Morph 38 (both Ananda Development, Thonglor), Aestiq Thonglor (reported to allow pets up to roughly 25 kg), Whizdom Essence Sukhumvit 101 and Ideo Mobi Sukhumvit 66 (both with on-site pet zones), and Baan Ananda, Fullerton Sukhumvit and Aguston Sukhumvit 22. These are publicly reported or marketed as pet-friendly, not independently verified against each building's current bylaws by BAANLYY — policies and management can change, so confirm directly with the juristic office before signing.
What happens if I keep a pet against my condo's bylaws?It's a real enforcement risk, not a theoretical one — in one documented 2022 case a condo owner in Thailand was fined over 140,000 THB for keeping a pet against the building's regulations, separate from the newer 2026 city ordinance. A juristic person can also compel removal of the pet. Never rely on a landlord's verbal assurance; get the building's pet policy confirmed in writing before you move in.

Original research and indicative market data only — not legal advice. Building pet policies, deposit norms and weight/number limits vary by building and change over time; the named buildings in Section 03 reflect public portal/marketing reporting, not a BAANLYY-verified live audit. Bangkok's 2026 Ordinance on Animal Keeping and Release Control sets citywide maximums and registration rules but does not override a building's own juristic rules. Confirm any building's current pet policy directly with its juristic office, and consult a property lawyer for anything contractual, before relying on this report for a decision.
