Vana Nava Water Jungle

Vana Nava Water Jungle, located right in the resort town of Hua Hin in Prachuap Khiri Khan province, is known as the pioneer and leading water forest in Asia. Originally just a vacant lot, Vana Nava has developed into a tropical forest thanks to its focus on ecosystem protection, with more than 200,000 trees from all over the city of Thailand.

Officially opened in 2014, Vana Nava Water Jungle quickly became famous and attracted many tourists. Famous for its unique tropical forest design and diverse games, the park has received many compliments from the community. In addition, this destination has received high ratings in the industry for its innovative approach to the water park model.

Vana Nava has done a great job of enhancing the customer experience by updating and expanding its games. This has also kept the appeal of its water park games from cooling down. It also participates in environmental protection activities, which is what keeps it at the forefront of the entertainment industry.

Currently, Vana Nava Jungle Water is still holding the top position in the list of water parks in Thailand. Tourists come here not only to participate in water games but also because of the green and cool landscape like a tropical forest. In addition, Vana Nava Hua Hin is also considered an important part of Thailand's tourism landscape, contributing to the local economy and providing entertainment options for everyone.

The best time to visit Vana Nava Water Jungle

The cool and dry seasons (November to February) are the best times to visit Vana Nava. The weather is cool at this time with temperatures ranging from 24 - 32 degrees. Because there is little rain, you can participate in outdoor games and activities very conveniently. This is also the time when Thailand records a large number of tourists, so you should prepare yourself for a crowded Vana Nava Hua Hin.

Here is an additional suggestion if you are looking to escape the summer heat: visit Vana Nava Water Jungle during the hot season (from March to May). The weather can be quite hot, with temperatures reaching up to 35 degrees, but this time of year is less crowded than the cool season. As a result, it ensures a relaxing experience with fewer people, avoiding the hustle, bustle, and overcrowding.
