Udon Thani · 0.5 mi / 0.8 km

Catnergy Café & Space is a cat cafe and co-working space on Si Chom Chuen Road in central Udon Thani, behind Udon Pittayanukul School and next to the Yamaha music school. The two-storey shop has a calm, minimalist interior designed for working or reading, with resident cats, all well fed and friendly, wandering among the tables and coming over to say hello, especially if they spot a lickable treat. Drinks start at around 65 baht, and the cafe is known for its desserts, including cheesecake and fresh-fruit creations, alongside coffee, tea and other drinks. The atmosphere is quiet and the room smells fresh, which makes it a good choice if you want to get some work done with a cat nearby rather than visit a busy play room. Students from the nearby schools often drop in after class.

Pet's Cafe Udonthani is a multi-storey cafe on Srisuk Road in Mak Khaeng, central Udon Thani, that combines a full restaurant with cat rooms upstairs. The ground floor serves a long menu of Thai rice dishes, snacks and drinks at good prices, which makes it a popular stop for students and families. The cats live on the upper floors, where visitors can play with a large group of big, well-fed and friendly cats. The rooms open in sessions and not every floor is open to visitors at all times, so ask at the counter what is available when you arrive. Staff look after the cats carefully and have clear rules in place for their wellbeing. Food can take a while to arrive at busy times, so it is worth ordering before you head upstairs to see the cats.

Meow Time Cafe is a cat cafe in Mak Khaeng, central Udon Thani, that bills itself as a relaxed, homely place to hang out with cats. The cats live in a separate air-conditioned room with a wide variety of breeds, from fluffy longhairs to a much-loved orange cat, and most are affectionate enough to come straight to you. Entry is 99 baht for adults and 79 baht for students, which includes a drink and a pair of socks to wear in the cat room, and the cafe sometimes runs midweek promotions. The cat room has no tables, so expect to sit on the floor among the cats, while cold drinks, milk-based specials and baked snacks are served outside. Staff are friendly and attentive, and the space can also be booked for small parties and gatherings.

Nong Khai · 32 mi / 51 km

My Healing Cafe is a minimalist cafe in Nong Kom Ko on the edge of Nong Khai town, tucked down Soi Don Du 5 near Nong Khai School, that bills itself as Nong Khai's cat cafe. The white-toned interior has lots of photo corners, an outdoor seating area and an air-conditioned room with a glass-walled cat zone, home to a group of fluffy, friendly cats. To go in and play with the cats, buy a drink and wear a face mask; a lint roller is handy for cat hair afterwards. The menu focuses on coffee and other drinks, plus sweets and bakery items rather than full meals. The approach is along a narrow village lane, but there is reasonable parking at the shop. It is a calm place to sit with a drink and watch the cats.

Vientiane · 40 mi / 65 km

Le Cattitude Cafe describes itself as the first cat cafe in Laos. It occupies the second floor of the Sujipuli Books & Things bookshop on Samsenthai Road in Ban Kaoyord, Sisattanak, so many visitors browse the books downstairs before heading up to the cats. The resident cats include Maine Coons, Siamese and other breeds, and staff say they are vaccinated against rabies. The room has plenty of space and hiding spots, and staff do not push the cats to interact with guests. Visitors either order at least one item per person from the menu of coffee, teas, sodas, cakes and French-style pastries, or pay a set cat contribution instead. Board games are available for a rental fee, and cat treats can be bought to feed the cats. House rules are posted on the tables. The business also runs a cat hotel. It is open every day.
