Thailand, meet snow. Snow, meet Thailand.

Residents of the usually-tropical country now have a full-fledged winter wonderland to play in. The Snow Town theme park opened in Bangkok during the last year, offering a unique way to beat the summer heat. Snow Town is located on the fifth floor of Gateway Ekamai shopping complex and offers activities like sledding and building snowmen. The giant room is decorated like a snowy village, complete with fresh flakes of artificial snow falling from the sky.

Snow Town claims to be the first snow theme park in Southeast Asia.
