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.
