the Siam Park, right in the heart of bangkok. This is promoted
as an inland sea, and boasts breaking surfs, lots of different "theme
pools" waterfalls and kiddy slide, deep sea monsters, the lot. As
well there are ample food and beverage outlets so no one should
go wanting. Siam Park is at KM 5 Sukhapibal 2, and is an easy taxi
ride from any hotel in Bangkok.

theme park. Visitors can drive their own car through the Safari
