Many places in Thailand provide something for everyone, and the Santorini Water Park located between Cha-Am and Hua Hin is one of them. This is a place that you should not miss if you are travelling to Hua Hin during the weekend with your small ones.
Located right behind Santorini Park, this water park is ideal for everyone. If you are planning a weekend getaway at a resort such as Anantara Hua Hin, this water park is just a 30-minute ride away and it's open on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays from 10.00 am to 6.30 pm.
The way they issue the walk-in tickets is quite interesting. It's not based on the age like other parks, but your height. If your height is 130 cm or more, you are considered as an adult and you will have to pay 500 Baht to enter the water park. There are different fee categories for juniors and kids, and for babies (height under 90 cm) the entrance will be free of charge. This entry ticket covers all the rides, and what's extra interesting is that you can try all rides an unlimited number of times without paying any additional amount!
The most adventurous and thrilling rides are for the adults, and these rides also become the most memorable things to do in Hua Hin Thailand. Apollo's Drop Screamer is one of the most popular rides here in which you have to stand in a yellow coloured capsule until you get dropped from a height of nearly 20 meters through a long, winding tube. The rides 'Tornado' and 'Vulcan's Kamikaze' are also high-speed rides that can be tried out of extreme thrill is what you are looking for. Another interesting ride is 'King Cobra' where you have to be in a double tube and race your friends enjoying fun twists and turns.
There are two river areas here namely the Crazy River and the Lazy River. Just as the name suggests the lazy one is for the people who want to sit back and relax. You just have to get a tube and float around while watching what's happening with the other rides. But the Crazy River will drive you crazy because the waves will make you bounce up and down, chasing the tranquillity away. There is also a section called the 'Wave Lagoon' which is a huge pool with waves and a beach. After all your exciting rides, you may come here to relax on a beach chair shaded by umbrellas.
The water park has arranged a special mechanism to capture your thrilling moments. During your moments at King Cobra, Apollo's Drop Screamer, Vulcan's Kamikaze, Free Fly, and Magic Bowl, you can get this done, and these photos will get uploaded to your Facebook account via a special mechanism.
