Siam Park - one of Tenerife's newest attractions

"Siam Park" was something I'd noticed being advertised all over the place, the last couple of times we visited the island. I had no idea what it was until I discovered that it was a new water park, only opening in September, 2008, which explains why.

The Tenerife water-park attraction, as its name suggests, is totally Thailand theme-based. The designer obtained permission from the Thai royal family, on the understanding he didn't copy royal palaces, holy places or statues of Buddha. The resultant collection of 25 buildings form the largest outside of Thailand itself.

Situated in Adeje, the park is built on a hill and can thus take advantage of the slope for all the rides. The Park boasts a host of attractions.

• The Volcano - Four-person slide with flashing light image of a dragon inside


• The Dragon - A 20 metre wide funnel with light show inside


• The Wave Palace - A wave pool with artificial beach. Surfing lessons available.


• The Naga Racer - A six-lane racing slide.


• The Giant - Twin bowls, moving in opposite directions


• The Tower of Power - A vertical, see-through slide, passing through an alligator pond.


• River Sawasdee - Artificial river.


• The Jungle Snake - Four twisting slides following the contours of the hill.


• The Lost City - For the kids - 120 water games.


• The Mekong Rapids - Rafting ride with rafts holding five people.


• An amphitheater


• A sealion pool
