Two Bangkok branches running structured thirty-minute sessions, plus outposts on Koh Samui and Koh Phangan. The most organised version of the format in Thailand.
Two Bangkok branches — Ekkamai (Sukhumvit 61, inside UNION SPACE, 2F) and Silom (Silom 26 Alley). Both run to 21:00, which makes this the only evening capybara option in the city.

The chain option, which in this format is a compliment rather than an insult.
Structured, which is the point
Thirty-minute sessions, roughly twenty animals, staff managing the room, entry around ten euros with drinks bought separately. The Ekkamai capybaras are Baba, Judy and Ruby. It is the most systematised capybara operation in Bangkok and the reviews reflect a business that has done this a lot.
A local roundup ranked the two branches second and third of the city's seven, behind Little Zoo Garden but ahead of everything else, describing the short-session format as organised rather than rushed.
What visitors actually say
Pulled from Google Maps, trimmed, and left alone otherwise — including the
complaints. We do not take the ratings as gospel and neither should you.
That figure is the Ekkamai branch. Silom runs 4.3 across a separate 734 reviews.
The capybaras—Baba, Judy, and Ruby—are huge, gentle, and adorable.

The capybaras are incredibly cute, and you even get the chance to feed them.

Two branches, and the islands
Ekkamai sits on Sukhumvit 61 inside UNION SPACE on the second floor. Silom is on Silom 26 Alley, which is the more central of the two if you are staying downtown. Both close at 21:00 — no other capybara venue in Bangkok stays open that late.
The same brand also reportedly runs outposts on Koh Samui and Koh Phangan, which would make it the only capybara operation in this directory with a beach-island footprint. We have not verified those two.

FAQ
Which Bangkok branch should I go to?
Silom if you are staying downtown, Ekkamai if you are out on Sukhumvit. Both rate 4.3 and run the same 30-minute format.
How does it compare to Little Zoo Garden?
More structured and later opening, but timed. Little Zoo Garden is cheaper and unlimited but the space is smaller and the reviews say so.
Are there really branches on the islands?
Reported on Koh Samui and Koh Phangan, but we have not confirmed either. Treat them as a lead, not a plan.
Details change – always confirm hours, prices, and booking on the official site before you travel. Animal encounters are subject to each venue's welfare rules.

One of Bangkok's oldest animal cafes, out on Sala Thammasop. Free to walk in, pay only if you want to feed something, and the capybaras wander where they like.
Bangkok's flagship capybara cafe, 450 baht all-in for as long as you like, with meerkats and corgis thrown in. The enclosures are small and the reviews say so.
A plushie-buried Korean-style drinks counter on Sainte-Catherine with two or three seats, capybara merch, and nothing on the menu over eight dollars. Takeout in practice.
A capivara-themed cafe built into the Rio Pinheiros cycle path in São Paulo, funding the NGO that protects the wild capybaras living on the riverbank about thirty metres away.
Peru's capybara cafe, in the Cayma district of Arequipa, with a second counter inside the mall. Waffles, desserts, Peruvian coffee, open until half nine, and no actual capybaras.
A matcha and Vietnamese coffee bar in Folsom, California, built around capybara mascots and a lot of plushies. Open daily until nine, and there is not a live capybara in the building.
