Dream World

What is Dream World?

Dream World is the stuff of local fantasies—a vibrant amusement park in the Thanyaburi district, a short journey from the heart of Bangkok. Here, children and adults alike find themselves immersed in a realm inspired by classic fairytales and Hollywood blockbusters. As someone who's seen Dream World evolve, I must tell you, it's not just an amusement park; it's a portal to a land of fun, adventure, and cherished family memories.

Divided into several themed zones, such as Dream Garden, Fantasy Land, and Adventure Land, Dream World offers a spectrum of attractions ranging from gentle rides for the little ones to adrenaline-pumping roller coasters for thrill-seekers. It's the perfect destination for a day trip, where the magic of tales and the thrill of rides come together to create truly enchanting experiences.

History of Dream World

The park opened its doors back in 1993 and has since welcomed millions of visitors, both locals and tourists. As I recall its early days, Dream World started as a relatively modest operation, but it didn't take long for its charm to catch on. Over the years, it has expanded and upgraded its attractions to match the increasing expectations of its visitors. It's a testament to the vision and drive that has seen Bangkok's entertainment scene flourish.

What's notable is how Dream World has maintained its appeal through the country's various economic ups and downs. It's evolved not only by adding new attractions but also by branching out into hosting events and celebrations, ensuring that each visit brings something new to delight in.

Why is Dream World Important?

For many in Bangkok, and indeed in Thailand, Dream World holds an essential place in the heart—it's where childhood memories are born and nurtured. But beyond sentiment, Dream World plays a significant role in the local economy. It's a major employer in the area, while also drawing in visitors who contribute to the economic vitality of the surrounding communities.

Dream World also underscores Thailand's capability in managing large-scale entertainment venues that can compete internationally. It serves as a symbol of Thai creativity and hospitality, showcasing how local cultural elements can be woven into a universal amusement park experience.

Things to Do & See at Dream World

Step into Dream World, and you're faced with a delightful dilemma: where to begin? For the little explorers, I recommend starting at the Dream Garden where they can take a leisurely stroll amidst beautifully landscaped gardens or enjoy a sightseeing train ride. Fantasy Land beckons those who wish to step into the pages of their favorite fairytales, with rides and attractions based on stories like the Giant's House from "Jack and the Beanstalk."

For those seeking more intense thrills, Adventure Land is the place to be, with its high-speed rides and roller coasters. The 'Space Mountain'—a high-speed indoor roller coaster—is a favorite among adrenaline junkies and is not to be missed. Snow Town offers a unique chance to experience winter in a tropical country, complete with snowfall and sled rides. It's a wondrous escape from the typical Bangkok heat.

Aside from the rides, Dream World also hosts themed shows and parades that are sure to capture the imagination. 'The Colors of the World Parade' is particularly spectacular, featuring dazzling costumes and floats. There's also an animal farm where you can interact with and feed the animals—a hit among the younger visitors. Lastly, don't forget to try some local snacks and treats available throughout the park, adding a taste of Thai cuisine to your day of adventure and fantasy.
