Pets: Baan Sammi is a pet-friendly environment for outdoor pets. 1 male outdoor dog and currently approximately 5 outdoor cats live on the property. However, our dog does not allow other dogs in its territory, no matter whether male or female, large or small, and another new cat is not welcomed by either our cats or our dog. Therefore, unfortunately, guests with their own pets cannot be offered accommodation.
