Check availability and priceFrom 1,000 THB, booked in advance.
and each of them is a different world
Andaman Bay It's the heart: a giant wave pool with a sloped artificial beach. The waves rise in cycles, and it's the place where people spend the most time.
Emerald Forest It's the family area, medium slides, shallow pools, and a The water bucket the big bucket that tips over every few minutes on those standing underneath it.
Coral World Dedicated to young children: shallow water, short slides and fountains. This is the safest area in the park.
Naga Jungle It's the extreme area. That's where the high and steep slides are, including slides with free fall and tube slides in the dark.
Pearl Palace It's the quiet area - a lazy river that surrounds the park, calm pools and shaded seating areas.
The park is spread over a large area, and walking between the zones is part of the day. You can't do it all in two hours.

and what to do first
Arrive at opening, at 10:00. In the first two hours the lines are short, and you can do the extreme slides without waiting.
Then, when it's full, you move to the wave pool and the lazy river, where the crowding is less noticeable because the zones are large.
Set aside a full day. Those who arrive at 15:00 manage only a small part of what they paid for, and the last entry is at 18:30 anyway.
The late afternoon hours are especially nice, the heat drops, the light is soft, and some visitors are already leaving.
There are food stalls and restaurants inside, and payment there is through The electronic wristband that you receive at the entrance and load with money. What's left is refunded on exit.
and a few things that save money
Swimsuit, Sunscreen and hat. Most of the day in the sun and water, and waterproof sunscreen is a must.
A towel and locker are not included and are rented inside for a fee. Those who bring their own towel save on this.
Flip-flops, the floor is very hot during the afternoon hours, and the distances between zones aren't short.
Swimming goggles for children. Some of the slides spray strongly.
There's no need for cash inside the park, everything goes through The bracelet.
and whether to take the ticket with transport
Andamanda is located in Kathu, in the center of Phuket, not far from Patong. The drive from Patong is about 15 minutes, from Kata and Karon about 25, and from Bang Tao and Surin about 30.
The ticket with transport costs 600 THB more for an adult and 350 for a child. For a family of four that's almost 2,000 THB, it's usually cheaper to book a taxi or Grab round trip.
The ticket with transport is worth it For those who live far away, those without convenient access to transport, and those who prefer not to deal with it after a full day in the water.
There's free parking at the park for those arriving by rental car.
Booking for the same day is possible, but the ticket only opens for redemption six hours after purchase, it's worth booking the evening before.
The thing most worth checking before standing in line
Every slide in the park has its own height requirement, and it is marked at the entrance to every attraction. There is no uniform requirement for the whole park.
The extreme slides in Naga Jungle require the highest height, and some also have a weight limit. This is checked at the station and not at the park entrance.
It's worth checking the heights before standing in line. A child who waits twenty minutes and is turned away at the station, that's the experience that ruins the day.
A lifeguard is present in every area, and in the wave pool there are several. Flotation belts are available for free near the large pools.
Lazy river and waves are not dangerous but require supervision of young children, the current in the river is constant and the waves in the pool rise in cycles.
The activity stops during an electrical storm. This is the park's decision and it's not up for debate; in most cases it's short.

and whether this is a full day
This is a full day. The park is big enough to fill it, and those who try to squeeze in something else before or after arrive tired for both things.
Those who still want to, Kathu is close to Patong, and you can finish at the park and head down for dinner and a short walk on the beach.
The park closes at 19:00, and that's exactly when the evening in Patong begins.
Don't plan a beach day after it. After eight hours in the water, the sea is the last thing you'll want.
For a group with mixed ages, this is a good solution: Everyone finds their own area and meet up for a meal.
