So, tell me has anyone been to this water park, amusement park and theme park? Do you and/or the guys like it? Which part since it appears to be 3 parks?
Also, how is Safari World as well as Dream World? Is it worth going to either one of these and do the guys like either of them?
I have been a few times to Siam City Water Park. A Taxi from say Silom would be in the vicinity of 300B with tolls. Several bus options as well, including one from Silom, you need a Bangkok Bus Map: 115,151,26,60,168,501,519.
The entrance fee for the Amusement Park and the Water Park can be separate or combined. There are several different confusing package fee options. The rides in the amusement (thrill rides) section are on an individual ticket system but you can pay cash as well inside the park. I am pretty sure there's duel farang/thai pricing but if you have a Thai DL you pay Thai.
I can't recall what I paid. I took the BF's family and there were a lot of them and I don't recall it costing much. We had some discount coupons from somewhere and food in the park was also not expensive.
Most Thai families come only for the water park. There are the usual water slides and large pools. Weekends and school holidays it gets packed with families. It's not a big farang attraction but there's the occasional farang here and there including some PLU and once I saw a gaggle of lady-boys. There would be no problem going with a BF/BS or a group of Thai boys.
The rides are comparable with Dream World but I might give Dream World an edge on the quality of the park and rides but no water park.

You can print the map which might help a taxi driver find the place--good luck. It might be better to asks if he knows where it is and if not find another taxi.

If it's working the snow room at Dream World is more ice and slush than fluffy snow. It's really just a big freezer. Snow Town or what ever it's called is a separate entrance fee not included in the general admission. Dream World also employs duel pricing with a big margin. The web sites for these parks don't seem to mention that either.
Last time I was there they accepted my Thai DL for the Thai price. The Thai price was something like 350B but several years ago when I was a tourist/farang the price was in the neighborhood of 1,500 and since the BS was with me, he (me) had to pay the farang price for him too!Quote:

Different day, maybe different results. I doubt they have farang/tourist/foreigner defined. Even the National Park Act does not give a definition of "Foreigner"
National Park Act
These parks are a long way from Disney standards but most Thai BS along with a few of his friends would have a great time. Even if you get screwed with the farang price, it's still worth it, just don't take a group of farangs along and it will not cost much.
