Bangkok: 04 - 06 Sep ~ Dream World

10 Sep 2012 (Mon):

Dream World

This was another attraction which we spent a full day in it. We booked the package from a travel agent located next to our hotel lobby.

Our driver asked if we liked to travel by the highway & pay toll or to travel by the normal way which was jammed. Of cos we chose to travel by the highway & reached Dream World in about 45 mins.

He gave us his mobile number & told us to give him a tinker once we were finished. Daddy bought a pre paid sim card upon arrival at Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport for 199baht. For local calls, its 2baht per min & for international calls, its 3baht per min.


At the entrance of the theme park.



Mini wonders of the world. We have a few here like the Statue of Liberty, Taj Mahal. Eiffel Tower, Stonehenge, Leaning Tower of Pisa, Angkor Wat, The Pyramid, The Colossuem, etc...





The Giant House. All the furniture was huge but we manage to climb up onto some of them for a photo taking.



This is the Snow Town. Look at the temperature inside: minus 5 degrees celsius. We were only given a jacket & boots to wear. Its cold.... brrrrr... Daddy & the kids couldnt stay for more than 5 mins & we were out soon, though I would love to stay longer.

There were many interesting things to see & do inside Dream World. There were the animal show, 4D Adventure, Hollywood Action, Colours of the World Parade, Sky Coaster, Super Splash, Grand Canyon, Hurricane to name a few. But as we were there on a weekday, we did not manage to see all. The parade was only shown on weekends & we missed the Hollywood Action which was seen only on 1 time slot during the weekdays.


A little video session on the kids' activities. Oh ya! Daddy played some games at the game stalls & won 3 stuff toys. The largest being a dog which i will show you in another post.

We love to get wet while going on the Super Splash. There was this bridge which was the way to exit after the ride & alot of people like to hang around the bridge. Reason: as the ride came splashing down, a huge wave was created & sent water splashing right over the bridge. On a hot day here in Bangkok, the waves was a welcoming sight. Even the school students ( oh boy, huge number of them everywhere) loved getting wet even if it meant no change of clothes for them as most of them were in their school uniforms.

And yes, Daddy, myself & the kids were dripping wet. Haha... the sun soon dry our clothes though.

And needless to say, when you have a Naraya outlet inside the theme park, what would most tourists do? Buy, buy buy!  I bought two designs @ 470baht/310baht costing 780baht in total = SGD$31. I would have bought more if the boss hadnt pressurized his customers to finish up shopping & settle payment at the cashier as the stall was closing in 5 mins time. Such an idiotic fellow. Doesnt he wish to earn more, looking at the crowd inside his shop?

Another theme park to visit would be the Safari Park & Marine World. And a recommended tourist attraction would be the 1 day tour to Bridge over River Kwai + Tiger Temple.

Instead, Daddy preferred visiting the floating market & since i read over the internet, the MaeKlong Railway Market could be included since its enroute to the floating market, we booked a full day tour for that for the next day, together with a visit to the Rose Garden, Crocodile Farm & Elephant Show. But in a twist of events, our tour only materalized halfway. If it wasn't for the fact that we need to rush to the airport, we would have returned to the travel agent & asked for at least half the refund.
