Vana Nava Waterpark in Hua Hin - prices, opening hours, how to get there

Aquapark Vana Nava in Hua Hin opened relatively recently, in 2014. However, it has already become extremely popular with tourists and locals alike. This large-scale facility, one of the largest of its kind in Southeast Asia, was designed and built by White Water West of Canada. Local architects also worked on the project, so the appearance of the water park is a lot of specific Thai details, and the main direction in the formation of the landscape design was imitation of the jungle. For Thailand, Vana Nava was the construction site of the century, because about one billion baht was spent on it.

The Vana Nava Aquapark in Hua Hin has somewhat changed the overall atmosphere at the resort. Previously, it was the most prestigious and somewhat even prim and proper on the entire west coast of the Gulf of Thailand because of the summer royal residence built in town. Now a cluster of huge, intricately shaped slides makes it more democratic and lively. After all, on these rides, it’s impossible to refrain from expressing your feelings violently.

Vana Nava Waterpark infrastructure

The proximity of Vana Nava Waterpark in Hua Hin to royalty has nonetheless left its mark on its appearance. The grounds are particularly well maintained and the landscaping is impeccable. The water park is designed for a full day’s stay, there are several cafes and restaurants, the architecture of which imitates a Thai village – this is a traditional bungalow under the thatched roof. At the same time, the builders did not forget about the safety issues. All equipment installed meets the highest international standards. This makes it the most comfortable place to stay in all of Thailand.

When you visit the Vana Nava Water Park in Hua Hin, be prepared for pleasant surprises and surprises. Its builders did their best to anticipate nature itself. For example, they created an artificial waterfall height of 31 meters. It is the kind of thing you can’t find in the mountain forests of Prachuapkhirikhan province in the north of which the resort town is located.

Fans of extreme entertainment in Hua Hin will get all the adrenaline they want here. Perhaps even in excess. For this they need to climb the platform of the largest water slide in Thailand. Its height is 28 meters. Descent from it (it can be performed simultaneously by up to six people) is accompanied at the initial stage by falling into a zone of weightlessness, which is replaced by an active vertical spin. At the final stage you enter a gigantic vortex at a speed of about 50 kilometers per hour, and from it you are literally shot into the pool.

Children especially love the jungle area at Vana Nava, with a tower with six slides of varying degrees of extreme (it’s adapted for different age groups) built in the middle. And also a pirate fortress with a special feature – a bucket filled with water. This structure periodically topples over, pelting visitors in the pool beneath it with an intense tsunami-like stream.

Fans of just lounging in the sun can relax on the beach under the shade of coconut palms or take a leisurely ride on an inflatable tuba on the Lazy River, a traditional water attraction that is also available at a water park in Phuket.
