Siam Amazing Park Considers Sale After Severe Flood Damage
Siam Amazing Park in Bangkok announced it may sell the attraction for 10 billion baht after severe flood damage left nearly all rides unusable and repair costs near 500 million baht. The park’s owner, Dr. Chaiwat Huang-amornrat, described sleepless nights and heartbreak while seeking bank loans and government aid to avoid a sale. He hopes to reopen within three to six months if sufficient help arrives, otherwise the park may change hands or be sold to survive.
The owner of Siam Amazing Park announced a possible sale worth 10 billion baht, admitting he was heartbroken and had not slept for seven days and nights after seeing his life's work damaged in an instant. He said that although floodwaters have receded, the situation remains critical, with restoration costs estimated at 500 million baht. On October 3, 2026, reporters visited the park in Bangkok’s Kannayao district and found the worst flood damage in its history, with nearly all rides submerged and damaged, causing loss of animals and loss of income for staff. Dr. Chaiwat Huang-amornrat, chairman and founder of Siam Amazing Park, said this was the biggest flood ever, but he feels somewhat relieved now as employees have been pumping water out day and night until the area dried, and they have received help with additional pumps. He added that his greater concern is for the surrounding communities. The announcement of a possible 10‑billion‑baht sale, the owner’s heartbreak and sleepless nights, and the 500‑million‑baht repair estimate were repeated. He said the damage totals nearly 500 million baht, that he feels devastated and has been unable to sleep since the incident because he cannot afford the repair costs. He is seeking bank loans and awaiting government assistance; if insufficient aid arrives, he may decide to sell the business for 10 billion baht, including the rides and staff. Dr. Chaiwat Huang-amornrat, chairman and founder of Siam Amazing Park, reiterated his position. Related reports note that in previous floods the park suffered 100 million baht in damage and was closed for six months, and that after 46 years as a Bangkok landmark attracting 1.2 million visitors yearly, it faced hundreds of millions in damage and another six‑month closure. However, after eight days of flooding, he continues to visit the park to check conditions, hoping to reopen as planned, estimating a recovery period of no less than three to six months. He concluded that the future of this legendary Thai source of joy depends on whether timely aid arrives, or whether the park will ultimately have to change hands or be sold to survive.
