Anyone who visits [Phuket] [1] in the next few months will discover a great new way to keep cool. West World Sands Water is a fantastic new water theme park, which is currently being constructed. Situated in the West Sands five-star resort complex in the Mai Khao area of the island, this is Phuket’s first water park and will feature a number of exciting rides such as the Superbowl. There will also be a number of regionally-themed sections including African, Asian, Turkish, Northern European, North American and Incan zones. The park has been designed by Disney theme park creators Whitewater Industries and comprises a 500 million baht project, covering an area of 22,400 square meters. Barry King is the Project Director. In an interview with the [Phuket Gazette] [2] he stated that: “We are highly confident that West Sands Water World will take little time to become the new major attraction and a must-do activity for travelers who have landed in Phuket.” The owners of the new water theme park are already anticipating large number of daily visitors, and this will be a real treat for anyone who feels the heat while relaxing in Phuket.
