From 13 July, Siam Park will be inaugurating its “megatoboggan”. The new attraction, Kinnaree, is a serpentine 200 metres long and, Siam Park says, unprecedented in water parks. Kinnaree is the name of the Thai goddess of the arts who, Siam Park says, dances sensually in Himmapan, a mythical forest, and is frequently seen in traditional Thai sculptures and temples.  The above video hopefully gives some idea of what to expect.

Summer is really here once Granadilla unveils its Sansofé programme, and Mayor Jaime González Cejas and Culture & Fiestas councillor Óscar Delgado Melo have announced Sansofé 2012 – the summer schedule of cultural and leisure events in July and August in El Médano and Los Abrigos. It all starts today, at 9pm in the plaza at El Médano, and lasts until 25 August. There’s a “click to read” programme available HERE.
