Elephant Care Park Phuket
We Take the Mission of Protecting and Rescuing: We take the mission of protecting elephants and rescuing elephants, so that those elephants from circus and elephant riding companies can live happily in our nature park. We do not harm the elephants and take good care of them, so that they can retire here happily and comfortably. Part of the ticket fee of Elephant Care Park Phuket is used for the living expenses, food, treatment and other expenses of the elephants, which truly shows our philanthropy. We are against Animal Abuse: Thousands and thousands of elephants have been living in Thailand for many decades. In the recent years, the number of these gentle animals has been greatly reduced. In 1950, there were still about 50,000 elephants, whilst today there are only 3,000 to 3,500 left. The main reason for this is clearing of woods and forests, which often takes the lives of these fascinating animals. We are the Sanctuary for Elephant Lovers: No Elehant Riding! Our camp provides various elephant activities including mud bathing, spa, and graffiti, and is equipped with showering facilities. Our staff and volunteers will kind help guests take photos for free to leave you with unforgettable moments. With delicious buffet and fresh fruit, we dedicate to offering visitors with unique, satisfying experiences.Phuket · 28.9 km from Koh Yao

Andamanda Phuket Waterpark
Andamanda Phuket Waterpark is located in Kathu area of central Phuket, a large waterpark themed around Thai mythology and Andaman sea legends, covering approx. 100,000 m². The park itself hides an original story: young Chaiya embarks on a journey to find five sacred items to awaken Naga, the island's guardian deity. Five themed zones - coral world, emerald forest, Naga jungle, Andaman bay and Naga park - correspond to different scenes from the story, with settings incorporating Sino-Portuguese architectural elements of old Phuket. The "treasure hunt" concept while playing in water makes it especially family-friendly. Thrill-seekers can head straight to Naga jungle: "Dragon's descendant" simulates near free-fall, "Naga rapids" allows side-by-side racing with friends, alongside "coiled cobra," "eagle slide," and "garuda flight" - totaling dozens of slides park-wide. Emerald forest features the iconic "angel slide" and uniquely shaped "Kinnaree flight." Andaman bay is an expansive artificial sea with waves reaching approx. 3 m high, bordered by white sand beaches. Aspiring surfers can try the "surfer challenge" wave simulator, while families with children can gather near "miracle lagoon" and "little reef" in coral world to await giant bucket dumps or float leisurely along the "lazy river" circling the atoll. The park also replicates Phang Nga's Tapu island, with a wave bar set on it; the sand bar's transparent acrylic infinity pool offers drinks with views of visitors zooming down the "angel slide" - both being popular photo spots. When tired, village restaurant serves local flavors like pad Thai, massaman curry and Phuket Hokkien noodles, alongside Italian and American dishes (optional). Private overwater villas or cabins overlooking the bay can also be rented as bases. Evenings often feature "Andamanda bay treasure cruise" based on mythological stories, with lights, sound effects and water displays worth staying for after dark. Reminders: popular slides see noticeable afternoon queues - try riding them right after opening; daytime ground gets hot - don't skip flip-flops and sunscreen; short walking distances between facilities make half to full-day visits comfortable. △ SuperWater facilities △Enjoy culinary experiences △Family-friendly funPhuket · 27.5 km from Koh Yao

The staff here speak Chinese, making communication very convenient. They are very friendly and fun. There's a photographer who will take pictures for you. The elephants and baby elephants are also very well-behaved and cute. Although it's quite hot outdoors in Thailand, this camp has a Starbucks that's very cool inside, and you can even paint there.

I had an excellent day at Andamanda Phuket Waterpark. The park was beautifully designed, very clean and well maintained, with a great selection of slides, pools and attractions. There was something to enjoy throughout the entire day.I also booked a private Wave Cabana for the whole day, which was a great choice. It provided a comfortable and relaxing private space where I could rest between activities and keep my belongings safely nearby.The staff were friendly, helpful and professional, and the facilities were excellent. Everything was well organised, and the whole experience offered very good value for money. I had a fantastic time and highly recommend Andamanda to anyone visiting Phuket.

Hanuman World is definately a place to go to for half a day of fun. The best was the roller zipline. i thought it was safe and normal but it was exhilarating. half of the time i was hanging onto my dear life. The luge was fun too. for those who like to race with friends, the luge is a fun way to do it. If u have time, the unlimited rides would be very worth it. Being afraid of heights, the skywalk was the scariest for me.

It was nice place, go earlier and enjoy the activities before the main show starts! The main show was a bit boring but it was a good place with my 5years old son to enjoy.
