Mak ⁠‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌⁠Maeo Cafe is a newer cat cafe on Soi 3 in Hua Thale, a short distance from Huanom Cathub in Nakhon Ratchasima (Korat). The spacious, air-conditioned room is clean, nicely decorated and free of smells, with plenty of seating and more than 20 friendly cats, most of them from one extended family. There is no entry fee: each visitor orders one drink, and socks must be worn inside, so bring your own or buy a pair for 20 baht, which helps pay for the cats' food. Lickable cat treats cost 25 baht and are guaranteed to draw a crowd. The menu covers coffee, tea and other drinks, plus cakes and snacks, with the panna cotta a particular favourite. Parking is available right in front of the shop, making it an easy stop for families and for visitors passing through Korat.

Huanom ⁠‌‌​​‌​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌⁠Cathub is a homely cat cafe on Soi Yu Ruai 1 in the Hua Thale area of Nakhon Ratchasima (Korat), near the Hua Thale–Maroeng junction. The owners describe it as being like playing with cats at a friend's house, and the small, cosy space is home to dozens of resident cats from many different breeds, most of them affectionate and happy to curl up next to visitors. Entry costs a modest 25 baht, and staff explain the house rules for handling the cats when you arrive. Unlike many cat cafes, Huanom serves proper meals as well as drinks and desserts: favourites include rice with creamy omelette and grilled pork, Thai tea and Oreo frappés, all at friendly prices. Cat snacks are available if you want to win over the residents, and there is free parking on the street and in a lot nearby.

Fat ⁠‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​‌​‌​‌​​​​​​​​‌​‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​⁠Cat Cafe & Hotel is a cat cafe and cat hotel on Mittraphap–Nong Khai Road in central Nakhon Ratchasima (Korat), not far from Makro. True to its name, the cafe's cat room is home to around ten plump, sociable cats, nearly all British Shorthairs, who greet visitors by rubbing their heads against them and are happy to be stroked. There is no entry fee: each guest simply orders one food or drink item before heading up to the cats, and the menu of drinks and snacks such as French fries is reasonably priced. The cat room is compact but clean; visitors sensitive to cat hair may want to bring a mask. Alongside the cafe, the business runs a cat hotel with air-conditioned VIP rooms, wall-mounted climbing shelves and staff on site around the clock, so owners can also board their own cats here.

This ⁠‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​⁠branch of the Koi Kafae Sot coffee shop in Nong Krathum, on the northern side of Nakhon Ratchasima (Korat) city, doubles as a quiet neighbourhood cat cafe. The bright, minimalist room is shared with around six resident cats, mostly pedigree breeds, who wander between the tables or doze on the seats while customers eat and drink. Cat food is sold at the counter if you would like to feed them. The kitchen serves a wider menu than most cat cafes, with Thai dishes alongside Western plates such as pork steak and spaghetti carbonara, plus coffee, tea and a long list of other drinks, all at modest prices and with options for children. It is generally calm on weekdays, which makes it a good place to read or work with a cat nearby. Parking is on the street opposite the shop.

Mawmuek ⁠‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​​‌‌​⁠is a riverside cafe on Mittraphap Road in Pak Chong, the gateway town to Khao Yai, with a separate air-conditioned cat room.

House rules are strict to protect the animals: no running, jumping, shouting or picking up the cats, and children must be at least 120 cm tall to enter the cat room. The menu covers coffee, tea, cakes and desserts, plus snacks and some savoury dishes when the kitchen is open. Parking is limited at busy times, so weekdays tend to be calmer.
