Arak Animal Hospital Thonglor โรงพยาบาลสัตว์อารักษ์ สาขาทองหล่อ
99 Thong Lo, Khlong Tan Nuea, Watthana, Bangkok 10110
This is where neighborhood vets send the complex cases. The facility's scale and equipment list read closer to human hospital specs than typical pet clinics, and the 60-million-baht medical investment shows in the diagnostic range. Worth knowing before an emergency: the Pet Pool and daycare live under the same roof as the surgery center.
You walk into a lobby split by species. Dogs to the left, cats to the right, double-door airlocks between zones to keep stress low. The floor is non-slip throughout, and the space feels more like a private hospital than a clinic.
Arak Thonglor opened in September 2024 as the network's largest branch and its designated referral center for complicated cases across Bangkok. The 4,000-square-meter layout dedicates separate wings to diagnostics, surgery, and boarding, with specialist-led clinics for ophthalmology, cardiology, and feline medicine. The equipment roster includes a 3D echocardiogram for cardiac imaging, a CT scanner for internal diagnostics, and a phacoemulsification machine for cataract procedures. Most neighborhood animal hospitals do not stock this range in-house.
The hospital operates around the clock for emergencies and general care, with specialist appointments running during daytime hours. Beyond medical services, the facility runs a Pet Hotel for boarding, a grooming salon, a daycare program, and an outdoor Pet Park for exercise. There is also a Pet Pool on-site. International pet export documentation and health certificates are handled here if you are relocating.
The CEO, Dr. Tassawarin Kanchanachaya, built the Thonglor branch under a Pet Humanization model, aiming for care standards that mirror human medical protocols. The hospital holds TAHSA certification (Thai Animal Health Standards) and functions as a hub for cases referred from smaller clinics city-wide.
Free parking is available in the ground-floor lot. Appointments are recommended for non-emergency visits and specialist consultations; walk-ins are accepted but may face longer waits, especially evenings and weekends when the ER volume peaks.
