rooster59 Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Kings’ Park in Hua Hin to close for 15 days By The Nation The Army will close its Kings’ Park in Hua Hin, Prachuap Khiri Khan, for 15 days from November 15 for maintenance, a tourism official said on Saturday. Orasa Avudhkhom, director of the Prachuap Khiri Khan Office of the Tourism Authority of Thailand, said her office has reached an agreement with the Thanarat Fort, which is in charge of the park, to close it for maintenance of the sculptures of the seven great kings of Thailand. Workers would also use the period to restore landscaping in the park, she added. The park, which features giant statues of the kings, is located at the Army Non-commissioned Officer School and is opposite the Suanson Pradiphat Army recreation site. Orasa said the park had been visited by more than 600,000 people from July 1 to September 25.

Didn't really feel like a 'park' in the traditional sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was there in Jan 2016. There was no park. The was a toilet block off to the left that was surrounded by a lawn. I guess they must have planted some trees since then.
