Mao Thai Thai

Mao Thai Thai Cat Café is a vibrant, modern feline retreat located in Linkou, a fast-growing suburb of Taipei, Taiwan, just a short walk from the Linkou stop on the Taoyuan Airport MRT, approximately three stops short of Taipei International Airport (TPE). Opened recently, this brand-new café stands out with its bright, cheerful interior featuring colorful pillows, tiles, and a lively soundtrack of Taiwanese pop hits, creating a welcoming atmosphere for cat and food lovers alike. Known for its delicious Thai cuisine—think Coconut Chicken Soup and spicy Thai Basil Pork with rice and egg—this buzzing eatery seamlessly blends a restaurant experience with a cat lounge, housing 17 well-loved and well-cared-for cats, including exotic and domestic breeds, some sporting playful mini-lion haircuts. While the staff may speak limited English, they greet visitors warmly with big smiles, making it an ideal spot for a cultural and feline adventure, especially for those seeking a memorable stop before departing Taiwan. Open to both locals and travelers, Mao Thai Thai offers a unique, socialized cat experience and flavorful meals in a clean, contemporary setting amidst Linkou’s new construction and shopping scene.
