Could it have been these lovelies? The World Supermodel competition is going on in Bangkok now. Pete

The Summer 'bargain' is over. went there this week and it is now 600 baht per person. One slide (the blue tube which requires ring) was not working - electrical problem according to staff. Another slide (blue and white open) may as well have been closed as none of the 5 of us made it down without stopping multiple times and having to push ourselves along.

Wave machine good, but there isnt really enough to justify the price (esp. with 2 slides unusable).

We left just before 3pm and there were about 10 people in the park. vastly outnumbered by staff. I am unsure whether the park can/will work with those pricing levels. 300 baht would encourage people to go more often - and i am sure that the catering mark up would make up a lot of the difference !

Oh yes, we were also caught sneaking in a 500ml bottle of tescos water which was confiscated (and returned later on leaving). Seems a bit small minded given the entry price.

Not a cheap day out with the family in tow.......

it seems like a good place to go with my son

Almost every weekend is busy. Week days are very quiet.
It should not be full price if all slides are not working.
I live out here and see the place everyday.

It's nice to see Hua Hin developing so many new attractions. I expect prices to drop during low season, a bit like the Golf courses.

I've been behind the little truck that goes around town advertising this park twice today. 600 Baht per person is the Summer bargain. Full price is 980 Baht.

Greetings to all HuaHin Forum users (first post )
I have a 3 yo daughter. Would you recommend to take her there or rather wait couple of years?

[Gregjam]

Mauris, I would suggest waiting as the park is more suited to older kids. I took my nieces aged between 7 and 11 there and they stuck to one area. The flumes are more suited to older children/adults as is the wave pool. It is a safe clean place to take the kids but expensive. Not sure what the Santida (I think that is the name of the place on Phetkasem) is like as an alternative. At 3 years old she would probably be as happy in the kids pool at the Hilton which also offers access to the beach and is probably cheaper.

Thanks a lot for your comments
We stay at the hotel and she loves the swimming pool. I was just thinking to make some "extra" attraction (I'm also with my 7 yo son). But I guess I would make "extra" running around with scared face for myself (I skip that part ). Again thanks a lot and all the best.

Hi Mauris, I have a 6 yo boy and 3 yo daughter, they love water and they have a lot of fun when we take them there. If you give it a try beware of the sun and apply a lot of cream on them as often as you can.

Hi has anyone been to the water park recently. How is it doing. Is it busy and what are the prices thanks

I heard that the foreign owner of Black Mountain actually could get investment priviliges from the Government and ownes the land in a 100% legal way. Anyone can confirm that?

Why would you wish to have this information?
