Vana Nava Water Jungle Hua Hin
Vana Nava Water Park is located in the Holiday Inn Resort in Hua Hin. Hotel guests can enter for free, and tourists who do not stay in the hotel can also buy tickets. Tickets are more than 1,000 baht, which may seem a bit expensive at first, but if you think about it, you can spend the whole day there, it seems not so bad. For families with young children, a children's ticket of a few hundred dollars can consume the energy of the children for a whole day. After playing, they will go back to the hotel and lie on the bed and pass out. As for the adults, they can do adult things. It feels like a super cost-effective!
The water park is open from 10am to 5pm. We went on a weekday, so there weren't too many people there and there were no queues for any of the facilities, so we had a very leisurely time.
Before entering the park, everyone will receive a wristband, which can be used to store value for consumption within the park. Cash is not accepted in the park. People with Thai accounts can scan barcodes to pay. In addition to buying things, the wristband can also be used for unlimited use of lockers. It seems that one wristband can handle everything.
If you have greater dining needs, you can also consider purchasing buffet coupons in the park. After purchasing the buffet coupons, you will get another wristband, with which you can eat unlimited meals between 11 am and 4 pm. Although there are not too many things in the buffet area, it is still enough to fill your stomach. As for me, I ate a lot of watermelon because the weather was too hot. The cost of the buffet is 380 baht for adults and 270 baht for children. Whether it is cost-effective or not depends on the individual.
The park has almost everything that is expected, including a bodyboarding pool, an artificial wave pool, a lazy river, a pool bar, and of course various fancy water slides. Most importantly, the park is based on a jungle theme, so there are many green plants inside the park, and people who are afraid of the sun will have no problem finding a place to hide. If I had to point out a shortcoming, it would be that if you want to play on the water slide, you have to carry a swimming ring and climb the stairs by yourself. Maybe it's because I haven't exercised for too long, and after climbing a few times, my legs were so weak that I just wanted to waste time in the pool bar.
After spending a whole day there with my friends, we were completely exhausted. When we returned to the hotel at night, we really didn’t want to go anywhere. Even adults were like this, let alone children. So, if you have children and plan to include Hua Hin in your itinerary, you might consider putting Vana Nava in your itinerary and bring your children here to play for a whole day in exchange for a leisurely night. #HuaXin #Good place for families
