The park is amazing, seriusly. The park is good for children and adults, offering a good intertainment. I liked the river show and the kingom of light so much! Maybe the ticket section should improve organization, expectially for those who bought ticket online and have to do the line again. And I would raccomand to fasten the service of ordering and preparing meals. For the rest the staff was kind.

Great water park with lots to do for all ages. The food prices were decent and the waiting times for rides weren’t too bad, which made the day enjoyable overall. The Siam Niramit show, was good for what it was and a nice addition to the experience.
