Ramayana, with a total size of more than 18 ha (45 acres / 100 rai), is one of Asia’s biggest waterparks. The park operates daily from 10am – 6pm. Ramayana waterpark is located 20 km south of central Pattaya, close to the big Buddha image (Khao Chi Chan) and next to Silverlake vineyard.

Rides & Attractions

Water Attractions

Ramayana offers 21 waterslides, and some of them are unique, like two interacting slides (one of them having a diameter of 6 meters), a Masterblaster, named Aquacoaster, where waterjets push riders up 7 times and which has been built as a double slide to allow two groups of riders simultaneously, or a unique river slide, which ends in a Lazy river. The 21 water slides offer a variation of thrill slides (like a Freefall and AquaLoop, where riders embark in a launch capsule), competing slides (like the 4 Mat Racers or the 2 Aquacoaster), raft slides (Python and Aquaconda), a Boomerango or some gentle alternatives like Serpentine, Spiral or River Slide. All slides are supplied by WhiteWater West, from Canada.[6][7]

A 600m long Lazy river, with integrated waves, bubbles and waterfalls, takes visitors on a ride around a natural hill. The park’s theming allows guests to explore an ancient city, with caves, sculptures and other remainders of “a long forgotten place”. This theming has been provided by ATECH International Thailand,[8] which also experienced theming other famous theme parks, including Disneyland Hong Kong or Ripley’s. Ramayana has a double wave pool with a 490 feet (150 m) wide beach, where one part can be used with tubes, and the other part without. In addition there is also a relax pool with integrated pool bar and a 60m long activity pool.

Ramayana offers 2 dedicated areas for children, which are also unique to this park. One play area, with a variation of spray attractions, is specifically designed for smaller children. The other one, with slides, water-games and a climbing area, has been designed for slightly older kids. Children can also use all pools and the Lazy river, as well as some other attractions outside of water, like caves or a maze.

Ramayana sources its water from its own 9 wells, which provide drinking water quality, and operates with a filtration system provided by Pentair and Wayfit. Ramayana employs more than 100 certified lifeguards.

Attractions on Dry Land

Ramayana also offers attractions on dry land, like a floating market built into the natural lake, an iconic sculpture, a walk along the banks of a natural river, a sand play area, a maze (labyrinth), waterfalls and encountering real elephants.
