On Sunday 3 August 2008 Khun Kwansruang Atiphoti Director General of Thai TV PBS which belongs to the Government came to Hua Hin on invitation of Hua Hin Vice Mayor Khun Suwit Rienroongrueng. Both were in the same classroom at Suankularb School. Together with other invited guests they met at the Sundance Hotel. On Monday 4 August 2008 Khun Kwansruang Atiphoti was invited by Hua Hin Mayor Khun Jira Pongpaibool to a meeting with representatives from 35 communities and school teachers. In total about 50 persons have participated in the meeting.

Khun Kwansroung Atiphoti has shown a power point presentation about the history of many Thailand’s provinces. In the presentation there were pictures and videos showing different periods. Some film clips were hundred years old showing Thai people from the past. Khun Kwansroung said that the pictures and videos can be used for the benefit of tourists in local museums.

There are a lot of pictures and videos about Hua Hin as it has been well known tourist destination for over hundred years. He has suggested that Hua Hin residents should preserve the history of their town themselves.  They should designate a place where historical pictures, film clips and other items can be exhibited to the public.

Hua Hin Mayor Khun Jira  Pongpaibool will arrange another meeting within 2 weeks to discuss this project further. Khun Kwansroung who is expert in this area will share his experience and provide advice. Khun Jira budget will be allocated for this project. It is important that Hua Hin history is preserved. Hua Hin Municipality has been almost one hundred years and it was the first Municipality of Thailand. Lord Mayor Presart Suknikorn was the first Hua Hin.
