Vana Nava – Asia’s First Water Jungle Being Built in Hua Hin
Vana Nava, Asia’s first water jungle, is being built in Hua Hin. Construction of one of the most innovative water parks in Asia is already underway on 35 rai of prime land alongside Petchkasem road. Situated just south of the flyover bridge and only a 5 minute drive from the town center.
Opening Mid 2014
a tropical jungle waterpark coming to Hua Hin
Hua Hin already has it’s share of waterparks including Black Mountain Waterpark and Santorini in ChaAm but Vana Nava aims to take it all to new heights with a massive park and family resort.
This will be a mixed-use family entertainment complex aimed at attracting more tourists to Hua Hin. Comprising of a beautiful jungle themed waterpark full of exotic tropical plants complete with restaurants and accommodation.
Phase 1 of the development is due for completion in the second quarter of 2014 and will include the main water jungle complex.
Construction of the Intercontinental Hotels Group Family Resort (Phase 2) and premium residences (Phase 3) will start after that time with phase 2 expected to be completed in 2016 and phase 3 finished in 2017.
More than just a Waterpark
Proud Real Estate is the company behind the Vana Nava water jungle and resort development, the same company that brought the Intercontinental Hotel to Hua Hin and that which is also building the BlúPort Hua Hin Resort Mall.
It is Proud Real Estate’s mission to attract more tourists to Hua Hin and build on it’s reputation as an international holiday destination. With more international flights due to be authorised for Hua Hin airport in the near future it is easy to see this becoming a reality.
As for the entry fee to the park it is expected to be between 600-1000 baht which is similar to what other water parks are charging in the area.
Passed by the site yesterday and it’s very close to town and I would imagine easier to get to than Black Mountain water park. Looking forward to seeing it open.
I think that Vana Nava’s location will be a winner. Directly on Petchakasem Road and close to town it’ll be easy to get to either by car or local transport.
