Meow Parlour, the first cat cafe in New York City, got a ton of press — including from The New York Times — earlier this year. But in Asia, cat cafes are de rigueur and have been for some time. Fortunately for traveling cat lovers, Oyster now covers Banilah, a cute hostel in the Chiang…
We’ve never been good at keeping a secret. So we figure there’s no reason to start now… Though these hotels successfully hid passageways behind bookcases, entrances via underground tunnels, and speakeasies by password-protected doors for many years, we’ve cracked the code on their secrets.
