Kids and water parks go hand in hand.
If you’re taking the kids to Phuket, you simply can’t miss Andamanda Water Park, the ultimate thrill for the whole family.
The main highlight is the colorful slides inviting brave little ones to come and experience the rush – the higher you go, the more exhilarating it gets.
But if you’re not quite ready for that level of excitement, the fun isn’t over: there’s a dedicated kiddie zone where the splashes are just as spectacular.
From fountains to mini-slides, everything is set for a fully loaded, splash-packed family adventure.

To those who tire themselves out playing, we recommend floating on your back to relax and chill in the Lazy River, or if that’s too mild, switch to riding the waves at The Great Andaman Bay, an artificial sandy beach with simulated waves - it’s fantastic. We guarantee that taking the kids to Phuket this time will be just as much fun as going to a real beach.
