A brief history of Siam Park in the Canary Islands?

Siam Park in the Canary Islands is a newer attraction in the area, having been commissioned in 2004 and finally opened in 2008 after several delays. The original plans of the park included a roller coaster. Still, the park decided to focus on waterslides and water attractions to maintain a focus, with plans to incorporate other traditional rides in the future. All of the rides here are themed around Thailand, as are all the restaurants and park buildings. The park includes one of the largest collections of Thai-themed buildings outside of Thailand.

The Thai royal family permitted Siam Park to use Thai theming and naming conventions, and Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn of Thailand officially opened the park. Out of respect for the Thai royal family's wishes, the park abandoned plans to copy the royal palace and does not include Buddha statues or Buddhist temple structures.
