| GetYourGuide | listed from about $23.69 (~780 THB) | Catalogue price checked July 2026 at 32.9 THB/USD. That sits below the official tourist rate, so check which rate class the voucher covers before paying — this listing carries a low 3.7 rating on few reviews. |

Frequently asked questions
How much are Ramayana Water Park tickets?
Tourists pay 1,099 THB booking online, or 1,199 THB walking up to the gate. The 799 THB price quoted on many sites is the Thai-resident rate and requires Thai ID, a work permit or a student visa at the window — it is not open to visitors (residents pay 949 THB at the gate). Children under 106 cm go free on any rate class; anyone 106 cm or taller pays the adult price. Verified on the park’s own booking page, 19 October 2026.
What are the opening hours and days?
11:00 to 18:00, every day except Wednesday, when the park is closed. Arrive at opening — the first two hours have the shortest slide queues.
How do I get there from Pattaya?
The park is about 20 km south of central Pattaya near Silverlake and Khao Chi Chan. A Bolt/Grab runs roughly 300–400 THB each way, and paid shuttle/transfer options can be added when you book your ticket.
Who gets in free at Ramayana Water Park?
Children measuring under 106 cm enter free on any ticket class. Seniors aged 60 and over, pregnant visitors and visitors with disabilities enter free but are limited to the pool areas rather than the slides. Adults over 135 kg also enter free on the same pools-only basis — worth knowing before making the trip out there.
Can I bring my own food?
No — outside food and drink are not allowed, and bags are checked. The food court is reasonably priced by water-park standards; budget 200–400 THB per person for lunch.
Ramayana or Aquaverse — which is better?
Ramayana is bigger, greener and better value for pure slides (26 slides vs Aquaverse’s movie-themed zones); Columbia Pictures Aquaverse opens an hour earlier (10:00), is 10 minutes closer to Pattaya and appeals to film-loving kids. Both close on Wednesdays. If you only do one, most families pick Ramayana; see our full Ramayana vs Aquaverse comparison for prices side by side.
