A new theme park for dogs has been set up by Mars Petcare at Wat Khao Iti Sukhato in Hua Hin. The pet care company donated some modified exercise equipment for dogs to be trained in jumping, walking, sitting, crouching and crawling. We had heard a rumor a while back that Sing Beer was going to buy a Disney franchise and open it between Hua Hin and Cha-am, maybe this is the test run and the dogs are being trained as a circus act for the possible new theme park in the future. All kidding aside, the main idea is to train the stray dogs to be more obedient before families come to adopt them. The total number of dogs at the center is around 1,800 and it costs over 1 million baht per year to pay for food, equipment and trainers.

The new immigration office is finally up and running located in the old Thonburi-Hua Hin Hospital on soi 23. It will now be more convenient than before as the old immigration office was seriously a bumpy ride up soi 102. The new location will cut your travel time by 20-30 minutes.
