Bangkok to get first dog park

The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) will next year open the city's first public dog park, in Vacharapol area of Ram Intra district.

Bangkok deputy governor Vallop Suwandee said City Hall had already discussed the matter with several agencies including the Thailand Rescue Dog Association, Kasetsart University, and the BMA's Department of Environment and Department of Health.

It was agreed that the BMA will allocate 4.6 rai of land for use as the dog park, which will have facilities such as veterinary consultation, exercise areas for small and large dogs, running tracks and watering areas.

    Keeping dogs on leashes defeats the point of having a dog park .Parks for people and dogs are meant to be used not stared at .
