Summer school break is finally here! If you're still looking for something exciting to do in the city, then don't miss the fun of Chang Carnival presents Global Carnival 2016.
Global Carnival is a world-class travelling amusement park direct from Europe, landing in the heart of Bangkok with thrilling rides for kids and the entire family. Located at Lumpini Square (formerly Suanlum Night Bazaar), the carnival offers more than 20 rides that will give you adrenalin rush, and is divided into three zones — adult rides, family rides and children's rides. Some of the famous rides are the giant swing "Booster," the roller coaster "Freij's Euro Star" and the spooky "Dark Ride."
For those who missed this carnival a few years ago, Global Carnival will be there open to entertain you until the end of the year, every day from 4 pm to 10 pm. Student Weekly recently visited the carnival and brought back some photos to give you a glimpse of the fun.
