Our next stop was Santorini Water Park. The only
digital controlled Water Park in Asia to
date, it offers amusements ranked among the top three in the world. Visitors
are given a digitally-controlled wristband at the payment of a 100 baht
deposit, which serves as a credit and can be used at all the rides. Also if you
have a Facebook account and wish to upload pictures of yourself while you are
in the water you just have to click on it, scan the wristband on their scanner,
and upload pics instantly for free! Rooms can be rented for the day too, if one want's privacy.
Santorini Water Park
As usual, I was the most fascinated by the bathrooms at the park. There was not one public spot that I visited during the trip that didn't have a bathroom worth taking a picture of. Every restaurant and every hotel and shopping outlet had the most delightful nature-inspired washroom, complete with plants and pebbles.
Cool washroom facilities at the Water Park.
Across the road from the Water Park is Santorini Park which boasts the recently opened Korean Trick Art Museum and Haunted House. It houses some quaint shops, lots of photo op spots and some wonderful attractions including a 7-D theater, ferris wheel, merry-go-round and flying swinger.
Exhausted, we decided it was time to treat ourselves to a traditional Thai body massage -
after all, how could we go back without one?! So at the recommendation of Thai Airways country manager Polapat, we went to a massage parlour which was conveniently located at a stone's throw from where we were scheduled to have dinner. After four from our team of five availed the body massage -- not content with getting our whole bodies pressed Sarah and I also followed it up with additional foot massages as we had a half hour to spare! -- we made our way to the jetty where our restaurant Sang Thai was located. Teeming with people the open-air eatery was huge, and seemed to be immensely popular. We soon discovered why as the sea food was scrumptuous -- crabs, prawns, lobsters, oysters, the works. And of course, coconut juice served in its shell, and sarika, a lychee-type fruit served over ice-syrup. Joining us were Sareeya, assistant director, Tourism Authority of Thailand, who we had met the first day at lunch at Hua Hin Hills and instantly hit off with, and a few other officials.
