Three Thai water parks have been listed among the Top 10 in Asia in travel website TripAdvisor’s 2017 Travellers’ Choice awards.
Ramayana Water Park in Pattaya took third
spot among the 10 and Black Mountain Water Park in Hua Hin sixth spot.
Also in Pattaya, Cartoon Network Amazone is making a splash and was
named the seventh-most popular water park in Asia.
“I would like to extend my warmest congratulations to these three
parks in Thailand for winning positive reviews from travellers from
around the world,” says Tourism Authority Governor Yuthasak Supasorn.
“These awards certainly help to further strengthen the image of Thailand
as a family-friendly destination.”
The award winners were determined using an algorithm that took into
account the quantity and quality of user reviews and ratings posted
around the world in the past 12 months.
TripAdvisor users praised Ramayana Water Park for its “beautifully
clean water” and “excellent rides” and called Black Mountain “safe”,
“family-friendly” and “a great day out”.
Cartoon Network Amazone was
hailed as “state-of-the-art” with both “simple and daredevil” slides.
Ramayana opened in May last year and covers 100 rai (160,000 square
metres), making it one of the largest water parks in Southeast Asia. It
boasts 21 rides and more than 50 other attractions, including two
children’s zones, a “lazy river” and a floating market.
It’s 20 kilometres south of Pattaya, close to Khao Chi Chan, known
for its giant Buddha etched into the side of a mountain, and next to
Silverlake Vineyard.
Black Mountain, which opened in 2011, covers 40,000 square metres.
It’s got a 17-metre-high tower from which nine different water slides
radiate, plus a spectacular wave pool, a lazy river, a beach-infinity
pool and children’s pool.
It’s about 15 minutes from Hua Hin town centre.
Cartoon Network Amazone is the world’s first Cartoon Network-theme
water park. Opened in 2014, it features 10 entertainment zones and more
than 150 water attractions. It’s in Bang Saray, about 20 minutes’ drive
south of Pattaya.
