Major Development Public Company Limited is a leader in luxury real estate development and a pioneer in the concept of pet-friendly condominiums (Pet Family Residences) in collaboration with the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Chulalongkorn University, and business partners, transforming the activity area at the 100th Anniversary Park of Chulalongkorn University into a space of happiness for animal lovers. We are launching the largest dog event of the year, "MAJOR DOG DAY 2024," now in its third consecutive year, and recognized by Amazing Thailand 2024 from the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) as a must-see event that helps stimulate and promote tourism among dog lovers, featuring fun activities under the theme “The Pawnival Parade,” a caravan of joy created for our furry friends, including the Dog Fun Run with over 200 registered participants. You can also enjoy a lifestyle experience with over 40 selected vendors, informative sessions, and free health care services for dogs from various organizations.

Ms. Phetlada Phunworalak, Chief Executive Officer of Major Development Public Company Limited, stated, “MAJOR DOG DAY is a success that started from scratch, with no precedent and no one having done it before. Driven by the passion of animal lovers and the desire to create a community for pets, we and our team began researching the feasibility of establishing the largest dog community in Thailand. Since the first event in 2022, we have continuously organized MAJOR DOG DAY for three years, receiving excellent cooperation from government agencies, such as the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration, which facilitated and expanded the event space in Bangkok's public parks, as well as increasing participation from business partners each year. Most importantly, we have received enthusiastic responses from pet lovers who are eager to join the event every time. From our first event with only a few hundred participants, we now welcome over 2,000 attendees along with their dogs. This reinforces our image as the ‘No.1 Pet Family Residences,’ as we have been recognized and ranked as a must-see lifestyle event by Amazing Thailand 2024 from the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT), reflecting our potential to stimulate tourism. The trend of Pet Humanization shows that pet parents treat their pets as family members, willing to spend on travel and dining alongside their pets, making them a highly potential tourism group.”

This year, the MAJOR DOG DAY 2024 event has moved to accommodate over 2,000 members, families, and the community of animal lovers coming together. We have transformed the 100th Anniversary Park of Chulalongkorn University into a space for fun, happiness, and knowledge for dog lovers under the theme “The Pawnival Parade,” a memorable parade of joy for you and your dog. The fun begins with the Dog Fun Run, a mini-marathon featuring over 200 pairs of participants, where you and your dog can create cute and cool running outfits and showcase adorable moments over a total distance of 1.2 kilometers. You can also listen to informative discussions on “The Future of Pet Families in Thailand,” exploring the trends of Pet Humanization and enhancing the quality of life and holistic well-being of pet parents and their pets living together as one family. Experts and experienced individuals from the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Chulalongkorn University, Kacha Vet Animal Hospital, and partners like Magiclean and Modernform will share their knowledge. A highlight of the event is The Pawnival Parade, a cute parade showcasing the joy of adorable DOG STARS, including FRENCH BUTA, the two-faced dog, Muthoo, and many more.

The fun area is packed with renowned brands created specifically for dogs and pets in the BARKET MARKET zone, featuring food and beverage stalls, pet supplies and accessories, and free health check services for pets. Additionally, there are activities for dogs in the PAWGROUND BY MAGICLEAN zone, where dogs and their parents can enjoy testing their strength and skills in a clean and safe environment, along with many giveaways, and you can enjoy mini-concerts in the park throughout the event.

“Nevertheless, the gathering of the pet lover community at MAJOR DOG DAY will spread happiness and create a rapid impetus for change regarding the enhancement of the quality of life for both people and pets, as well as perspectives on pet-friendly housing and cities, to create a better environment and well-being for pets,” Ms. Phetlada concluded.
