WATER PARKS
There are two modern water parks
in Hua Hin. The newest one, Vananava, opened in December 2014
and claims to be Asia's first themed
water jungle and is already attracting
the crowds. Slightly further north
is Black Mountain Water Park, which

you are seeking thrill time or chill
time, both have more than enough
to keep the family active and happy
for an entire day.
