Ramayana is Thailand's biggest and best waterpark in Bangkok with over 21 rides built over the remains of an ancient city surrounded by beautiful, lush green scenery.

2. Fantasia Lagoon Water Park

Fantasia Lagoon is a fantastic water park in Bangkok, located right on the roof of The Mall Bangkae. It is one of Bangkok's many hidden gems, and you probably won't find it in any guidebook. The crowd is mostly made up of residents, unlike all the tourists you will find elsewhere. Being atop a building, you can enjoy great views from all of the rides. There is only one eatery inside the park, but, being extremely budget-friendly, you are allowed to bring in food from outside. Right next door, there is also a cute little amusement park filled with small rides that kids will love.

How to Get There: Fantasia is located at 275 Moo 1, Petchkasem Rd. The easiest way to get there is by simply booking a cab. Ask to be taken to The Mall Bangkae, as many cab drivers might not be familiar with the Water Park's name.
Popular Rides: The Lazy River, as the name suggests, is perfect for lazing around. Pirate Cove is very popular among kids and houses a mini pirate ship in the middle of a pool. The best attraction, however, is the Slider Tower, which gives you panoramic views of the entire city as you twist and twirl sliding back down to roof level.
