Snow Town, Bangkok
I
t is finally here! What we were all
looking forward to; the avid creation
of a much awaited little break from
the 365 hot summer days that vary
only in levels of humidity in the capital
of Thailand. To all the Thai population
which may have at one point or the

awaited inexpensive answer is here to
satisfy your senses.

teenage ones, young adults, adults,
and elderly citizens who have never
experienced an icy winter. It is for
those who want to have a getaway
which allows them to refrain from
the excruciating heat we sometimes
experience in this city. It is for the
thousands of international students who
want to get a taste of the refined Japanese
cuisine which they may not have access
to, to the Japanese people who may miss
the taste of their typical dishes, and to all
those who want to experience something
new, original and exciting. The exotic
getaway may be for a couple hours, or

Snow Town is an incredible and
authentic theme park that covers an area
of 3,000 square meters and is located on
the very accessible 5th floor of Gateway
Ekamai in Sukhumvit Road. This winter
theme park is one of its kind, with a
complete Japanese ambience, which
makes us feel like we are in Tokyo
during its first snowfall; not only does it
have areas with 30-40 cms of thick white
and very realistic snow, it also has cute
Japanese shops, fun and adventurous
attractions such as snowboarding,
