The Flintstones has been a global hit since its debut in the United States in the 1960s. It’s a TV series familiar to every Thai since childhood and has even become the inspiration for this resort. To fulfill the childhood dreams of Thais, SuanPeung Resort in Ratchaburi obtained the official license to transform the hotel into a setting inspired by the Flintstones characters, allowing both adults and children to live out their fantasies and experience a natural lifestyle from the Stone Age.
SuanPeung Resort currently features multiple modern caveman houses, designed in the likeness of characters such as Fred, Dino, and Barney. The resort complex includes over 10 buildings with a total of 21 rooms. Although it hasn’t been open for long, rooms are often fully booked during holidays, so visitors interested in staying should book well in advance. The resort also offers a variety of recreational activities such as off-road vehicle rides, making guests feel as though they’re in an amusement park.
Ratchaburi is an area that most Taiwanese tourists rarely visit. Located less than a three-hour drive from Bangkok and close to mountainous regions dotted with European-style holiday resorts, the beautiful scenery has made it a top vacation choice for locals. One notable attraction is the Don Wai floating market, which is famous in the area. Why not inquire with local boatmen to experience traditional Thai life on the water and spend a day as an authentic Thai?
Dino’s house is super eye-catching!
