The Ramayana water park in Pattaya is the first largest in Thailand, the second largest in the Asian continent and closes the dozen largest in the world. The highlight of the water park was the design and engineering idea to place a complex of water entertainment on the ruins of a mysterious city. Here are picturesque ruins, and ancient artifacts, cave paintings, unique natural and man-made objects. The central link of Ramayana in Pattaya was a natural lake, and entertainment lined around it. Tourists are attracted by the diversity of the park, service, originality and safety.
What is a water park
Ramayana Waterpark in Pattaya has accommodated about fifty recreational facilities, “marine” and “river”, some of them were developed according to separate special projects and are no longer found anywhere on the entire Asian part of the continent. A modern filtration and purification system is involved, which guarantees high quality water. 350 employees provide service and safety, one third of them are qualified lifeguards.
Ramayana in Pattaya was opened on May 6, 2016, covers 18 hectares of territories among natural landscapes. It took almost 5 years and 46 million dollars to build it, and a company specializing in creating amusement parks such as Disneyland was engaged in the design.
The name of the park, reminiscent of the famous Indian epic, is in fact little connected with the idea, but serves as a beautiful attractive sign. In the architecture of buildings, as conceived by landscape designers, there are motifs of Thai, Khmer and Indian orientations, which helps to join the culture of Southeast Asia.
Water park Ramayana is most suitable for family vacations. There are 2 children’s zones in it – for toddlers and older children, where there are interesting game designs, thematic figures, as well as little cars for skiing. There is even a little attraction for six-month-old kids.
The popularity of Ramayana in Pattaya is such that the flow of tourists does not dry out, and even have to queue up for some attractions. According to visitors, this circumstance is understandable and incomparable with the pleasure.
Another plus is the large territory and the fact that the slides are not located as compactly as other water parks. Many argue that this is much more convenient.
Slides and attractions of the park
On the territory of the Ramayana water park in Pattaya there are more than 2 dozen water attractions. There are over 50 water activities in total. They are divided into two groups – family and extreme. Ramayana organizers claim that they are all designed and made from high-tech materials from trusted suppliers. Slides 240 meters long are considered the longest in the world.
Ramayana water park in Thailand is famous for its thrilling rides. The following are considered the most popular.

- The Spiral – the name speaks for itself. This is a slide with smooth sliding along dizzy spirals.
- Python & Aquaconda – huge intertwining tunnels with a diameter of 6 m.
- The River slide – after descending the gutter, visitors fall into the so-called “lazy” river 600 meters long, which flows through a ridge of mysterious caves, mini-geysers, looping for a long time across the territory of Ramayana. This is followed by a dual wave system pool, like a storm, and traditional free fall.
- Aqua Play is a playground for children’s active games with the ability to shoot cannons, climb stairs, play with a fountain.
- Boomerango – with a sheer wall and a lot of spray when falling into the pool.

- Duelling Aqua-Coasters – 240 m high-speed multi-height trip for two, combined trajectory, abrupt changes in position, height and speed.
- Freefall – the slide is very high, almost vertical, falling from a height in a closed capsule with a 360º flip, a lot of spray and, oddly enough, a soft drop.
- The Serpentine – sliding in a tunnel with many turns and “splashing” into the pool.
For safety and even more to be sure, life jackets are worn on some slides. All attractions are easy to find on the Ramayana in Pattaya using signage and a large location map. There are traditional swimming pools with sunbeds for a relaxing “parental” vacation and sunbathing, a trampoline, surfboard training services on the board in a separate special pool with waves.
