Taxi and Grab with Milo, some tips from Thonglor

Milo is a 6-year-old Shih Tzu and he is very calm, but taxi drivers in Bangkok do not always accept dogs. I have had many drivers say no, even when I was sitting with the dog in my lap. Now I have a routine.

When booking through the app, I always write about the dog in the notes first. I found the drivers accept more often if you say the dog is small and stays in the carrier. Milo sits in a small bag with a mesh window. This is important because some drivers say they do not want fur on the seats.

Please bring a towel for the seat. Even if you do not need it, the driver may feel better when you have it.

For BTS, I use the carrier too. The staff at the station did not check, but I think a very large dog would be a problem.

Be patient, sometimes you wait 20 minutes. It is normal in Bangkok.
