Splash Jungle Waterpark, Mai Khao

The park is ok. We bought the tickets online, besides that we had to make the line of the people who are buying tickets there. It’s very difficult to wait in the line with a 4 year old with autism 😬, that is why we always buy tickets online. There is no information in the website for people with disabilities. You can not bring your own food, again if you have special circumstances that is not nice, my little one only drank Fanta. For the rest of us food was nice. Pizza it’s quite good and they have many choices of food. You can not pay with card, you need to bring cash and recharge a watch they give you in the entrance. That is annoying. You can not bring your own towels.

This place is very run down and appears in need of maintenance. We first visited this waterpark 4 years ago, and our entire family had so much fun, we stayed until closing, and wished we didn't have to leave. A few days before this visit, we visited the new Andamanda water park. Half of its rides were closed, which was disappointing, and this is the reason we decided to go back and visit Splash Jungle again. The place was almost empty...probably less than 100 people there. I felt really sorry for the staff who must have had cut back hours. I do commend the waterpark that they remained fully open, with all rides operating. It was like having a private water park all to ourselves. There were absolutely zero waiting times, and we could go on any ride as many times as we wanted without waiting. But the park is operating on a skeleton staff. Instead of 1 person operating 1 ride, one person was responsible for operating 2, sometimes 3 rides. This did sometimes mean that guests were not being guided as closely as they ordinarily would have been, though it didn't seem to matter. On the Lazy River, there are normally lifeguards all along the length of it, but there were none. There was no one ensuring people who couldn't swim put on life jackets before entering the water, but I guess self-regulation by guests works just as well as supervision, as we didn't see anyone get into trouble. Some rides were not functioning properly. My wife and children got stuck on the Super Bowl... there seems to be a problem with the water pressure. I also got stuck with my other child when going on it. We got stuck in the middle of the bowl and a staff member had to slide down the ride and help us get moving. We also got stuck at the start of the Boomerango ride, again because of a lack of water pressure. Getting stuck on these 2 rides was worrying. They are the scariest (so most fun) rides at the park, so the fact that they had operational problems was worrying. We did not ride on them again. There appears to be water leaking from the bottom of all of the rides, which left us wondering...is the lack of water pressure on the rides caused by all the water leaks? Is this the reason for the rides not working properly? Some water pipes have been repaired with black rubber sealant, but still leaking water. Some leaks are from large rubber seals that need replacing. Some parts have been leaking for so long, green plants are growing underneath the leaks!! In all places there are water leaks, and there is rust on the metal it is leaking on. All around the park, there is rusting metal. Some stair railings, for example, have completely rusted away. There will be a time soon when the park will need to be closed to replace all the large rubber seals and many rusted metal structures. The staff at the park were all friendly and very kind. The food we ate was of very good quality. If you want to go to a waterpark and have it all to yourself, this could be a good time to go.
