Frequently asked questions
How much do Aquaverse tickets cost?
On the official website (checked 19 October 2026) an adult park-only online ticket is 990 THB, the Single Day Essential Pass with locker, towel and a 200 THB food coupon is 1,380 THB, and the child Essential Pass is 890 THB. The site lists gate prices of roughly 1,800 THB for the same adult ticket, so always book online the day before.
When is Aquaverse open?
10:00 to 18:00, closed on Wednesdays — the same closure day as Ramayana, so don’t plan either park for a Wednesday.
Is Aquaverse worth it versus Ramayana?
If your kids love Ghostbusters or Jumanji, yes — the theming, characters and movie-screen wave pool are unique, and the 990 THB park-only ticket is now cheaper than Ramayana’s 1,099 THB. For sheer number and size of slides, Ramayana wins. Enthusiasts do both on different days.
How do I get there from Pattaya or Bangkok?
From Pattaya it is about 25 minutes south by car (Bolt/Grab roughly 350–450 THB). From Bangkok allow around 1 hour 40 minutes by car — the park markets itself to Bangkok day-trippers as well.
