The Slate Phuket Becomes Dog-Friendly; Charges THB 1,500++ Per Dog, Per Night

(07 May 2022, 12:09 +07)  The Slate resort on Nai Yang Beach in the north west of Phuket, Thailand is aiming to tap into more of the domestic market by becoming dog-friendly.

Guests staying in a One Bedroom Pool Villa, Two-Bedroom Family Pool Villa or Two Bedroom Pool Villa are now allowed to bring up to two dogs of up to 7.5kg in size with them.

During their stay, the pampered pups will be able to unwind in their beautiful villa, sleep in their own comfortable dog bed, which will be provided by The Slate, and even cool off in the private pool.

Food and water bowls will be set up in the room, daily doggie treats will be provided at turndown, and The Slate will give every canine guest an exclusive and signature dog tag for their leash.

The hotel will charge THB 1,500++ (plus tax and service charge) per dog, per night.

A series of 'Furry Services', including a nutritious gourmet menu, as well as dog walking and sitting services, are available for an additional charge.

For complete peace-of-mind, veterinary services will be available on call.

“At The Slate, we understand that for many people, their dogs are an important part of their family,” said the hotel’s co-founder and owner, Krystal Prakaikaew Na-Ranong. “We want to make it easier for every guest to travel and stay in style with their pooches. Our pool villas will let pets unwind and live the life of luxury – swimming in their private pool, dining from a gourmet menu and even wearing The Slate’s dog tag with pride! We can’t wait to welcome our four-legged friends to Phuket this summer.”

To ensure the comfort of all other guests, The Slate has created some house rules for its canine clientele. All dogs must be free from fleas or ticks, their vaccinations must be up-to-date, and they must be kept on a leash when not in the villa.

Poop bags will be provided to owners who must take care of their pets’ mess, and while The Slate loves all tail-waggers to be happy and playful, they must also be relatively quiet and under control.

Pets are not permitted in the resort’s public areas such as swimming pools, restaurants, the Coqoon Spa and fitness centre.
