Bangkok Water Parks

The temperature is rising and with it your child's restlessness. Of course, the hotel swimming pool can be a fun way to cool down, but nothing beats an entire playground dedicated to splashing, water and all sorts of fun-filled entertainment! Treat yourself and the kids to a day at the water park. Not only will they enjoy splashing and playing in the water, they'll probably go to bed without much resistance leaving you an evening of piece and quiet, if you're not too exhausted yourself...

Siam Park is a huge recreational park featuring various swimming pools, towering waterslides, whirlpools, fountains and a lake. The park's highlight is the 400-metre Super Spiral waterslide, while the giant man-made sea pool with artificial surf is just as spectacular. Further attractions include playgrounds, botanical gardens, an open zoo and an aviary. Try to go on a weekday as it tends to get pretty busy on weekends and public holidays. Facilities include changing rooms, swimsuit rental and fast food outlets.
