    Great advice from Lindsay and a excellent visit to Siam Nights Lindsay at the Golf Del Sur Office was great in explaining the various options of Siam Park. Based on her recommendations we opted for Siam Nights , our teenage daughters loved it and we would recommend it so as not to have to queue up for the rides in direct sunlight, it wasn’t too busy and in just a couple of hours we went on over 10 rides without any fast passes.

    Amazing Experience All I can say is DO IT!!! such a wonderful experience and Lee and Emily were just the best, couldn't fault them. Got collected from our hotel and taken to where we needed to pick everything up, got jackets and helmets. Lee talked you through everything and from start to finish they were both so helpful, kind and informative. Little breaks along the way up for biscuits and a little history lesson. Then the sunset was breath taking. 100% buy the pictures such amazing memories to keep. We are doing this again for sure. All I will say is there are soooo many companies but trust me go with these guys.
