Ramayana Water Park

Ramayana spreads over a hundred and eighty-four thousand square metres south of Pattaya, making it one of the largest water parks in Asia. It is regularly ranked first on the continent and among the world's top ten, a reputation resting as much on the variety of attractions as on how well the site is kept.

The park mixes registers: thrill slides for those after speed, a lazy river and wave pool for quieter days, and separate shallow areas for children. The theming draws on the Ramayana, with sculptures and worked rock giving the site a character unlike a standard water park.

Private cabanas are hired by the day and are worth it with a family: shade, a meeting point and somewhere to leave your things. Bring a swimsuit, towel, sandals and sunscreen. A full day is not too much.
