SAMUT PRAKAN, Thailand: A fluffy white cat in a yellow dress perched on the top of a Bangkok cinema seat while, nearby, a Chihuahua in a Sebastian the Crab costume geared up to watch Disney's The Little Mermaid with their owner.They were among dozens of four-legged film-goers that arrived in strollers on Saturday for the opening of Thailand's first pet-friendly cinema on the fringes of the capital.
Pet ownership grew further during the coronavirus pandemic, and now some businesses are trying to cash in."We take him to work sometimes ... today is like an experiment," he told AFP.The animals had to wear diapers and sit in bags while the sound and lighting were adjusted for their comfort. "Bangkok is not a very pet-friendly city," Narute told AFP, adding that the concept was built on their child-friendly theatres.
"In the kid cinemas, kids will be running around screaming or shouting ... I think pet cinema will be the same. Everyone who comes will own a pet and be understanding ," he said.Major Cineplex spokesman Narute Jiensnong said some pets acquired during the pandemic suffer separation anxiety now that owners are no longer working from home or in lockdown.
