Pattaya Water Park: Ramayana Guide, Tickets & Tips
Planning a Pattaya water park day? Ramayana's opening days, ticket tips, getting there, slides by age and height, and who should skip it.
On this page
Last updated November 2026: the Pattaya water park most visitors mean is Ramayana Water Park, in Na Chom Thian, Sattahip district, Chonburi. It sits outside the city centre, so budget a transfer of roughly 20–30 minutes each way. Official hours are 11:00–18:00 daily except Wednesdays, so check the park's own site before you go.

Pattaya Water Park at a Glance
Ramayana Water Park is at 9 Moo 7, Ban Yen Rd., Na Chom Thian, Sattahip, Chonburi 20250. Its official site gives 20 minutes from Pattaya. A hotel page quotes about 30 minutes from the Royal Cliff hotel. Plan for 20–30 minutes depending on where you start and how heavy traffic is. The park says it has 26 slides across 34 lanes, 4 kids' zones and a site of over 160,000 m². Opening days and last entry can change, so confirm both on the official ticket page. For general transport, heat and planning advice, see our 7 Pattaya Travel Tips: Where to Stay, Get Around, Stay Safe.
Is Ramayana Water Park Worth It?
Yes for most families and groups, with a few clear exceptions. Children from 106 cm can ride every slide except Aqualoop and Free Fall, according to the park. That makes it a practical water park near Pattaya for mixed-age groups. Thrill seekers get the Extreme zone, and younger kids get 4 dedicated zones.
Skip it if your children are all under 106 cm and mainly want a paddling pool. Skip it on a very short Pattaya stay, because the trip uses most of a day. Skip it if you dislike midday sun, since the park only opens at 11:00. On a rainy or very hot day, an indoor stop such as a Pattaya mall is an easier plan.
Tickets, Prices and Height Rules
Take the current gate price from the official ticket page. Resellers and hotels price differently, and amounts depend on the sales channel. Royal Cliff lists a hotel-arranged full-day entry at ฿799 per person. That is a package price, not necessarily the gate rate. One reseller lists separate tiers for Thai residents and foreigners.
Under 106 cm, entry is free, but a child just over 106 cm can ride nearly every slide, so measure before assuming a free ticket.
Height rules matter more than age. Children under 106 cm enter free. At 106 cm and over, child or adult rates apply. A reseller says children from 106 to 122 cm need a life jacket and a responsible adult on slides. Children under 15 must be accompanied at all times.
Seniors, pregnant and disabled visitors are listed as free for pools only, with no slides. Seniors aged 60 and over can pay extra for a slide pass. Wednesday is the weekly closed day. One reseller sets a same-day online booking cut-off of 11:00 Thailand time and a full refund for cancellations 24 hours ahead. Those are that reseller's terms and may not apply to official tickets.
How to Get There from Pattaya
Ramayana is outside the centre, so the return trip needs as much thought as the outbound one. Allow 20–30 minutes each way. The park's official site offers a transfer booking. Other options below are not confirmed by the park, so check fares and availability before you commit.
Opening at 11:00 and closing at 18:00 leaves little slack once you add 20–30 minutes each way for transfers.
| Option | Best for | Trade-off |
|---|---|---|
| Park or hotel transfer | Families wanting a fixed pickup | Less flexible; confirm the return time |
| Private car or taxi/ride-hailing | Groups and flexible timing | Agree the fare first; evening return can be harder |
| Songthaew or motorbike | Confident, budget-minded travelers | Unverified for this route; weather and late return add risk |
- Book the return leg before you leave the city.
- Last admission is 16:00 on one reseller listing, but the park closes at 18:00.
- Evening transport is thinner outside the centre.
Slides and Zones by Traveller Type
Pick your zone by the youngest or most nervous rider in the group. Speeds and dimensions below are claims from the park or a hotel page. Hanuman's Splash has 7 slides, Mermaid Lagoon has 4, and Lanka Town has 4. The River Slide feeds into the lazy river, which a hotel page describes as about a half hour of waves, geysers and waterfalls. Water in the two kids' pools is heated to 35°C, according to the same hotel page.
| Zone | Slides | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Family | Hanuman's Splash, Mermaid Lagoon, Lanka Town, River Slide | Young kids and parents riding together |
| Easy Going | Serpentine, Spiral, Mat Racer | First-time slide riders |
| Medium Range | Aqua Coaster (244 m), Aqua Conda (6 m drop), Python | Teens and adults wanting speed |
| Extreme | Free Fall (up to 50 km/h), Aqualoop (360° loop), Boomerango | Adults and older teens only |
A Realistic Day Plan
The park opens at 11:00 and closes at 18:00, so the day is short. Treat this as our suggestion, not a park-published schedule.
Arrive near 11:00, collect your wristband and set up a locker. Ride the Extreme and Medium slides first while queues are shorter. Eat lunch away from the noon rush at one of the 10 themed restaurants. Spend the mid-afternoon in the lazy river and pools. Aim to be through the gate well before the 16:00 last admission, then leave by 18:00.
Plan recovery afterwards. A session at a Pattaya Spa Guide: Prices, Areas & How to Choose suits tired legs and sunburn. A Thai massage is a lighter option.
What to Bring and What It Costs on the Day
Entry is only part of the total. Check each extra on the official page or at the park, since amounts were not confirmed for this guide. The park lists lockers opened by wristband, with free Wi-Fi and a shop for swimwear, sun cream and towels.
- Entry: use the official ticket page; Royal Cliff lists ฿799 as a hotel-arranged package.
- Transfer: category depends on the option chosen; confirm the fare before riding.
- Lockers: rented; confirm the rate at the locker room.
- Towel rental: available for a fee.
- Cabanas: private, with a fan, safe box and phone chargers; confirm the price.
- Photos: free on 5 popular slides via your wristband; other photos are sold at the DEI Photo Booth.
- Food and drinks: 10 themed restaurants; budget per person depends on what you order.
Mistakes to Avoid
Do not turn up on a Wednesday, when the park is closed. Do not arrive after 16:00, which is the last admission on one reseller listing. Keep your official ticket, since a reseller confirmation may not be the ticket itself. A reseller notes the official ticket follows within 24 hours.
Do not assume a ride home will be easy at 18:00. Do not expect every child to ride everything: the 106 cm line decides slide access. Finally, avoid stacking another big plan on the same day.
