Siam Amazing Park set for Nov 19 reopening after flood recovery work

Siam Amazing Park (formerly Suan Siam) will reopen its water park zone on November 19, following intensive recovery efforts after major floods inundated the park in late September.
The reopening will occur in phases; theme park rides and attractions will remain closed for safety inspections by overseas engineers, with full operations expected to resume by March next year.
The park faced significant revenue losses (40-50 million baht) from the floods, compounded by prior COVID-19 impacts, but secured over 100 million baht in bank loans to fund rehabilitation and retain family ownership.
CEO Wuthichai Luangamornlert urged authorities to establish immediate emergency relief policies, noting current government post-disaster assistance often arrives too late to cover urgent business debt obligations.
