Care & health
Setup, routines, and health considerations
Care overview
Simple coat care, but a breed where ownership quality is heavily shaped by careful breeding and a steady household rhythm more than special equipment.
Environment & space
Often does best with a familiar setup (same resting spots, same perch route) rather than constant novelty.
Daily routine
Low grooming workload; keep play regular and structured instead of chaotic bursts (routine usually lands well).
Health sensitivities
Prioritize breeders who can clearly describe their health practices and what they monitor in Korat lines, with real examples from relatives.

Social & behavior
Temperament and interaction style
Personality & activity
Often observer-first with a strong bond style—more “quiet intensity” than constant entertainment.
Handling & social style
Can be selective about people and changes; tends to thrive with steady daily rhythms and familiar, calm contact.
