Suan Siam amusement park closed for six months for major renovation
Today 14:32Key points summarised by AI
Siam Amazing Park (formerly Suan Siam) will close for six months for extensive repairs following severe, five-day flooding that completely submerged the park.
Damage is estimated at 100 million baht, far exceeding the 2011 "super flood" and affecting all amusement equipment and the artificial lake.
The park plans major renovations, while its zoo section will permanently close, donating animals to the Zoological Organisation of Thailand.
The CEO will seek financial loans for repairs, acknowledging significant revenue loss during the high tourism season closure.

The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) has lifted the flood disaster status for 21 of its 50 districts, citing a return to normal conditions after heavy rains subsided.
Despite the improvement, 29 districts across Bangkok remain classified as flood disaster zones, following the initial declaration on September 25.
The BMA has established a shelter in Prawet district for pets and stray animals, currently caring for 23 dogs, to support residents impacted by the ongoing flood situation.
