The water amusement park section contains a man-made sea with towering slides. Most of the park area is now covered with amusement park rides, a dinosaur exhibit, a dinosaur diorama safari, an African diorama safari, children's playgrounds. Foreigners must pay more for tickets than Thais.
An abandoned junk yard with a few dismembered aircraft - a relatively interesting photographic site, without any guide though. IMPORTANT UPDATE: As of January 2024, the plane wreckages are no longer there. They were moved elsewhere, and construction are going on. Confirmed by Google Maps Street View.
A water park with a large swimming pool suitable for exercise, a lazy river, and slides suitable for smaller and larger kids. Appears to be better maintained than the water park at Siam Park City which has much higher prices for foreigners. An option if your accommodation lacks a pool but you crave to swim.
วัดเทพลีลา
One of the few temples in the Ramkhamhaeng area, this is a local temple that shows how the local inhabitants practice Buddhism. It is a big compound, which is fairly lively with people praying and paying respect to the Buddha statues. It was built in 1842 during the reign of King Nangklao (King Rama III). At that time, the temple was known as Wat Tuek or Wat Tuek Khlong Ton. Saen Saep Canal was dug for transporting troops and weapons to Cambodia. During excavations Pang Lila, a 1.2 m tall Sukhothai-style walking Buddha image, was found here. The temple was renamed Wat Theplila during the reign of King Chulalongkorn.
One of the Major Cineplex chain of cinemas, this is a fairly modern cinema that is close to Ramkhamhaeng University. English movies are shown, and Thai movies have subtitles in English. There are plenty of shops and places to eat if you want to kill time till your movie begins.
