  "account": "Siam Amazing Park, a 46-year-old Bangkok amusement and water park, is exploring various options to keep operating after severe flood damage. The park, also known as Suansiam, has been inundated with water, with nearly all facilities affected. The management is considering selling the park for 10 billion baht, in addition to other measures such as implementing a ticket sales plan to aid in restoration. Park founder Chaiwat Luangamornlert described the flood as the worst he has faced in his 90 years, as it submerged every inch of the park. He revealed that the damage was so extensive that resuming operations will require significant time and resources. The park employs over 500 people, and many have expressed concern about their livelihood during the closure. The park's zoo has rescued and relocated several animals affected by the flood. The park's management is coordinating with overseas ride manufacturers to ensure the safety of rides before any reopening plans.",
