think_too_mut Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Siam Park, a fantastic place. Yearly membership is 490B, one single entry 200B. Small wonder we don't go anywhere else for holiday, entire Thailand put together can not offer more joy for kids than this place. Bad point: food available for purchase sucks, bring your own. I wrote about Siam Water Park back in August 2007. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underbelly Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Nice, I have been here for nearly 2 months and was thinking if they have something like this. I will go and check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moonrakers Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 (edited) I don't think much of Siam park, as mentioned the food is awful and the fun police are out in force to enforce silly little rules. There is one on the roof of Bang Na mall which is quite good, not a big place but great for the kids. Edited March 18, 2009 by Moonrakers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are the "silly little rules"? One I know of, not silly, is - no swimming in underwear. No cotton shirts allowed in water. Otherwise, you would see people bathing in jeans and street clothes, like 1 day pickup tray travellers to Pattaya. My current place is near Bang Na Central, also have a large fun pool in the complex. They are good for short fun or if the weather looks like it may rain, not worth sailing off for a day and have to return back soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is in Thai, my wife would have noticed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sillybilly Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Can anybody tell me the best way to get to this Park.. I`m arriving early April and don`t want the kids to have to walk or travel too much in the heat. How much should it cost for a taxi to there say from... MBK Also looking at taking them to Dreamworld as well. I know there are guides in Bangkok available but how much do you think it would cost to hire a taxi for the day?? or would a tut tut be more fun and less traffic hassle?? I want the kids to have as much fun as possible... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's in the outskirts of BKK, Minburi swamps. The Suvarnabhumi airport is a few km from there. The Dreamworld is on the oposite side, also city's outskirts, towards the old Don Muang Airport. Wife took our kid there, quite far and taxi could be 350B, one way. No need to hire a taxi for a day. Plenty available on return.

Jimjim Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 Siam Park is the same place where some kids fell out of one of the water slides as a section of it came apart from the rest. Go there at your own risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go there at your own risk. The Amusement Park is part of Siam Park. And the facilities have been examined (the facility closed during that time) and updated. Open everyday since then, no reports of any accidents since. The Water park is about one third of the whole complex, could operate independently.

The accident with the children came very soon after a fatal accident in the amusement park. How a place like this could have 2 accidents in close succession is shocking. The only facility i'd be willing to use there anymore is the swimming area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only facility i'd be willing to use there anymore is the swimming area. It was shocking, to the Park's and management staff horror. To the owner too, he wanted to close it down and sell but remained put and invested more money into the facilities. The venue was built in 1984. Just yesterday, my wife and kid went there, said it has been upgraded again (the water park and deck chairs), said it looks newer than back in September 2008. As for the swimming area - hardly any risks there. No moving parts, just warm and clean water to have fun in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khun_j Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 siam park - pls be really careful. i had exactly one ride there and would never ever dare to do that again. we had two _very_ close calls there...and yes, the food section is absolutely sub-standard. btw, there is a water park on top of mall bangkapi as well.

bkkexplorer Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 I'd like to get some feedback from the parents taking their kids to Bangkapi water park. Nearly everytime I take my little one there, she comes back with some sort of stomach flu, diarrhea,.. that sort of thing. I suspect the water there is pretty dirty. Anyone with similiar stories? thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
