Siam Amazing Park rides ready for Nov 19 reopening

Numerous rides at Siam Amazing Park have undergone safety inspections after some components were severely damaged by flooding in September, as the popular Bangkok attraction prepares to reopen on Nov 19.

Siam Amazing Park, the popular Bangkok amusement and water park, is set to reopen on November 19 after repairs and safety inspections following severe flood damage in September. The park, originally feared to be closed for six months, is now opening earlier than expected. The Engineering Institute of Thailand (EIT) carried out an inspection of the 118-acre site in Khan Na Yao district, led by structural engineering expert Chuchai Sujivorakul.

The park, founded by Chaiwat Luangamornlert in 1980, had originally planned to be shut down for six months due to the extensive damage, which affected nearly all of its attractions. However, the management has now shortened the restoration period and is exploring ways to keep the park operational. The park's 46-year-old owner, Chuchai, is also considering selling the business for approximately 10 billion baht.

The reopening will feature the water park and a selection of amusement rides, with special annual memberships being offered at a reduced price to encourage visitors throughout the year.
