The theme of the Tube Trek is space-age and all its features will be imbued with surreal designs and ornamentation. The park is spread over 20-acres of the city’s San Kamphaeng District. It will incorporate a 4-acre car park to cater for the projected 3,000 visitors a day once it is open for business.
The project is being jointly financed by Thai and Chinese investors to the tune of THB500 million. Tube Trek’s management has not released its scale of admission charges as yet, but stated earlier that entry for children would be about the THB500 mark and adults would be somewhere between THB650 and THB950.
Local residents in San Kamphaeng say the park will create extra jobs and give the economy a shot in the arm. The district is home to the city’s famous handicraft industry factories and is just off the main route to Mae On Hot Springs and the Flight of the Gibbon ziplines at Mae Kampong.
