Cat Cafes in Hua Hin, Prachuap Khiri Khan

Hua Hin, Prachuap Khiri Khan

Cat A Way Cafe & Bar is a cat cafe by day and a bar by night on the main road through central Hua Hin, between Soi Hua Hin 49 and 51. The renovated old shophouse is home to around ten friendly former street cats, mostly Thai and mixed-breed, who nap and wander among the guests in a clean, odour-free room. Adults pay 129 baht to spend time with the cats, which can be exchanged for a drink or an ice cream, and there is no time limit, so visitors can stay as long as they like. During the day the menu covers coffee, tea and homemade food; from early evening the space becomes a relaxed bar with cocktails, a good choice of wine, and live music or a DJ on some nights. Car parking is available behind the neighbouring mobile phone shop.

Icecream & Cat Cafe is a small ice cream parlour and cat cafe tucked down Soi Hua Hin 37 in central Hua Hin; visitors should come in via the Golden Place lane. The shop has two zones: an outdoor area for customers who only want food and ice cream, and an indoor cat room that guests can enter without an entry fee when they order. Its signature is ice cream served in small chilled clay jars, alongside coffee, matcha and simple dishes. The resident cats are a mix of Thai cats and pedigree breeds, and the house rules are relaxed, with gentle holding allowed. Socks are required in the cat room and can be bought at the counter for 20 baht, and cat treats are on sale for anyone hoping to win the cats over.
