Major Development collaborates with Bangkok to create equal happiness for people and pets, following the concept of a livable city for everyone. This initiative builds on the know-how of managing shared spaces for people and pets from "MAJOR PETSCAPE" in condominiums to public areas in the city. It aims to enhance a good environment where people and pets can coexist, starting with the Dog Park at Benjakitti Forest Park, along with a special event called Major Dog Day 2022 for the first time! Pet owners and animal lovers are invited to join fun activities such as the DOG FUN RUN mini-marathon for dogs, a Meet & Greet with over 10 celebrity dogs, tarot card readings for dogs, free dog grooming services, free vaccinations, and charity work with foundations for dogs.

Ms. Petchlada Poovoralak, CEO of Major Development Public Company Limited, a leader in luxury real estate development and pet-friendly condominiums, stated that the company has allowed pets in all its condominium projects under Major Development for over 20 years. This has given the company expertise in managing pet-related matters within residential projects, culminating in the "MAJOR PETSCAPE" program designed to manage spaces that cater to all living contexts with pets in condominiums. Recently, the company collaborated with Bangkok to extend the knowledge of MAJOR PETSCAPE to design and develop a city that creates balance and happiness for both pet owners and non-pet owners to coexist happily in public spaces. The first installation of facilities for pet lovers will be in the Dog Park at Benjakitti Park.

“This is the first time that pet owners and their pets will share public spaces in the city. Major Development, as a leader in developing pet-friendly condominiums, wants to promote and support Bangkok in sharing know-how on pet management, especially regarding hygiene, to help elevate the city so that pet lovers and non-pet owners can enjoy public spaces together equally,” Ms. Petchlada said.

Mr. Pornprom Na S. Wikitseth, advisor to the Governor of Bangkok, stated that Bangkok aims to enhance its status as a livable city for everyone by designing and managing public spaces to meet the needs of all users, including pets. This includes providing Dog Parks where citizens can bring their dogs to exercise in public parks under the supervision of Bangkok at no cost, along with safety measures for others, such as registering dogs before use and requiring leashes at all times, as well as cleanliness measures for dog owners to carry bags for waste disposal. This time, Bangkok has received support from Major Development to organize fun activities and provide various facilities for pet owners and their pets to use the Dog Park at Benjakitti Park more conveniently.

Recently, Major Development collaborated with Bangkok to organize the Major Dog Day 2022 for the first time to open up public space for dog owners and animal lovers to share at Benjakitti Forest Park. The event featured numerous fun activities, including the DOG FUN RUN for owners and their dogs to enjoy a fun run in a large green area for the first time, a special discussion on “Cities and Dogs, Dogs and Cities” with partners from pet care experts, Kasavet Animal Hospital, a Meet & Greet with over 10 famous internet celebrity dogs, free dog grooming services, free vaccinations, live music, vendors, and many activities throughout the event, along with charity work for three foundations for stray dogs participating in the event: Soi Dog, The Man That Rescues Dogs, and The Voice from Us.
