A transparent framework for comparing Thai condos and areas for pet owners: four equally-weighted sub-factors — building pet policy, veterinary access, parks & green space and groomers & pet services — each scored 0–25 for a 0–100 total.
Status, upfront: this page defines the Pet Score methodology in full detail. It is not yet computed and published per building or area. The closest live proxy today is the family-friendliness factor inside the BAANLYY Area Score, which is a broader residential-character rating, not a pet-specific one. We say so plainly rather than implying a live pet-specific score already exists.
| Sub-factor | Points | How it would be measured |
|---|---|---|
| Building pet policy | 0-25 | Whether the condo's juristic-person (management) regulations allow pets at all, and if so, common Thai condo restrictions such as weight caps, breed limits, per-unit pet limits and designated pet elevators/entrances -- this varies building by building in Thailand and is not standardized by national law. |
| Veterinary access | 0-25 | Proximity and density of veterinary clinics and animal hospitals near the building or area, including emergency/24-hour options. |
| Parks & green space | 0-25 | Access to parks, green space or other areas realistically usable for walking a dog or letting a pet outside, within a reasonable walk of the building. |
| Groomers & pet services | 0-25 | Density of grooming, pet-sitting, boarding and pet-supply retail near the building or area -- the day-to-day service infrastructure pet owners rely on. |
Pet Score = Building Pet Policy (0–25) + Veterinary Access (0–25) + Parks & Green Space (0–25) + Groomers & Pet Services (0–25), for a maximum of 100. All four sub-factors are equally weighted by default. This mirrors the same disclosed, equal-weight approach BAANLYY uses across its other scores — see the Investment Score and Retirement Score methodology pages for the same principle applied to different subjects.
Thai condominium law leaves day-to-day rules like pet ownership to each building's own juristic person (the elected owners' management committee) rather than a single national statute — so pet policy genuinely varies building to building across Thailand. Some buildings allow small pets under a weight cap, some restrict certain floors or require a refundable pet deposit, and some ban pets outright. A meaningful score has to reflect each building's actual current rules (ideally sourced from the juristic person's house-rules document or direct confirmation from management), not an assumption based on a building's price point or class — which is exactly why this sub-factor can't responsibly be estimated at scale without that per-building verification.
BAANLYY can connect you with vetted agents who confirm a building's actual pet policy before you sign anything.
This is a disclosed proprietary methodology for general research purposes only — not legal, financial or relocation advice. Always confirm a building's actual current pet policy directly with the juristic person or landlord in writing before signing a lease or purchase agreement.
