Mumbai : Three of Thailand’s fun-filled water parks have been listed as among the Top 10 in Asia by renowned travel website TripAdvisor in their 2017 Travellers’ Choice awards. The Ramayana Water Park in Pattaya took the third spot in the Top 10 Water Parks in Asia with The Black Mountain Water Park in Hua Hin taking sixth spot. Also in Pattaya, The Cartoon Network Amazone is making a splash and was named the seventh most popular water park in Asia.

Ms. Soraya Homchuen, Director of the Tourism Authority of Thailand in Mumbai said, “Thailand offers various fun-filled activities for families, youth and children equally; becoming an ideal destination for a getaway with your kids. Most of the Indians have grown up watching Cartoon Network and know the Ramayana story; visiting these theme parks will definitely elicit your childhood memories, not forgetting how much fun your kids will have there. We are delighted to get such positive reviews from travellers who visit Thailand and have a great vacation with their family.”

According to TripAdvisor, award winners were determined using an algorithm that took into account the quantity and quality of reviews and ratings for water parks worldwide, gathered over a 12-month period.
