Mataparda · Public domain Siam Park is a water park in Costa Adeje, in the south of Tenerife, built around a Thai theme. It belongs to the Loro Parque group run by the Kiessling family, and was designed by Christoph Kiessling. Construction began in 2004 and cost about 52 million euros; after delays the park opened on 15 September 2008, inaugurated by Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn of Thailand. The family received permission from the Thai royal house to use the name and theme, and out of respect avoided copying palaces, temples or Buddha images. Its 25 Thai-style buildings form one of the largest such ensembles outside Thailand.
Did you know? The Mai Thai River is billed as the world's longest lazy river and drops about 8 metres, more than any other lazy river.
How this list is ranked
Places are chosen for how they look, not for how famous they are: each one has its own description and a photograph credited to its author. The order is a single world ranking that weighs the beauty of the place in curated photography together with how widely it is documented — the number of language editions of its encyclopedia article and how often that article is read in a year. The list is rebuilt as places are added, so the order and the counts on this page are always current.
