Bangkok, while a great city in so many ways, unfortunately does not have many spaces for people to walk and socialise their dogs.
The Bangkok government has made the great move of opening "Benjakitti Forest Park" in central Bangkok - a great addition to our city:
New Forest Park the Pride of Bangkok

Bangkok, while a great city in so many ways, unfortunately does not have many spaces for people to walk and socialise their dogs.
The Bangkok government has made the great move of opening "Benjakitti Forest Park" in central Bangkok - a great addition to our city:
New Forest Park the Pride of Bangkok
However, indications are that the park, when fully open, will not allow people to bring their dogs. We have discussed canine access to the park with officials in the Bangkok Government, and they have said that making a section of the park dog-friendly is a possibility that they are very open to, but that they would like to see widespread support.
We would love your support on the open letter below to ensure that the Bangkok Metropolitan Authority sees that there are many in favor of this initiative. Non-dog lovers are also very welcome to join! There is a parallel petition, with an identical letter (in Thai), being run at the same time – with the final letters and signatories to be submitted together.
By providing your details, you are indicating that you support the ask of the letter and are essentially co-signing it with me.
We will send the English and Thai open letters to the Bangkok government, as well as the names, phone numbers, and emails of those supporting it, to show that there is public sentiment and support for this ask - this will make the establishment of the dog-friendly section more likely.
You don't have to be a dog-owner to sign this - if you agree with what we're asking for, your support is very welcome!
Letter Text is also available on Google Drive here:
We are collecting signatures, emails and phone numbers showing all the people that support the ask for a dog-friendly space - your signature is a brick that forms part of a "wall" of support!
Should you wish to review them, the letter is available under the campaign description, or at the below link (Both English and Thai letters provided):
