I saw something at the lake today that I haven't seen for many months - there were 4 police officers patrolling the surrounding footpath.

They looked very closely at our dogs, until they saw the bags of dog waste tied to the wheelchair.

My understanding is that this structure will be a museum or "study centre" focusing on King Rama 9 and his involvement in the building of the Khao Tao Lake.

Sounds very plausible as the King had very strong links to Hua Hin.

Also very strong links to the lake. Obviously only looking from the outside at the moment, but the small(ish) rooms, mainly with glass walls do not look like either a museum or study centre yet.

Yes, not sure if the Thai translates directly to English but an education/learning centre/musuem about King Rama.

Translation? I've not been down there for a few days, and won't get there until the middle of next week at the earliest. Is there a sign in Thai?

No, it's what the Thai workers explained to a Thai person.

I'm without wheels at the moment, but did manage a trip to the lake this morning.

Still no clues as to what the mystery construction will be, but much progress since my last visit. A few lockable doors have appeared, safety railings are being put in place and floor tiling is progressing nicely. Still no signs of plumbing. In fact the only water into the carbuncle is via a blue garden hose at the front of the building.
