Andamanda is Phuket’s only full public water park clearly operating its normal programme in July 2026. Splash Jungle is undergoing enhancement work from 1 June to 30 September 2026, and its resort is providing a temporary Splash Land programme. Blue Tree now describes itself as an open-air community complex rather than a lagoon water park.
The short answer: Choose Andamanda for a full water-park day. Treat Splash Jungle as unavailable for a normal day visit during its enhancement period unless the operator confirms otherwise. For more on the island, see the Phuket destination guide.

Quick answer
Start with Andamanda Phuket - the island’s main event if it matches your energy level and season, then compare Splash Jungle - the quieter alternative up north and Blue Tree Phuket - what changed by travel time, weather risk, and how much structure you want in the day. The best choice is the one that leaves enough slack for heat, rain, traffic, or tired legs.

How we picked these stops
The main planning question in July 2026 is operating status, not ranking. Andamanda publishes normal tickets and hours; Splash Jungle’s resort publishes temporary programming during enhancement work; Blue Tree no longer markets a lagoon water park. Check live operator notices again if your trip is after September.
Andamanda Phuket — the island’s main event
Andamanda Phuket covers 100,000 square metres in Kathu. The operator publishes five themed zones, 25 attractions and 36 activity lanes, not 32 slides plus eight separate attractions.
Current thrill-ride names include Dragon’s Drop, Cobra Curls and the six-lane Racing Naga. For smaller children, Wonder Waterland has the Mr. Krab slide and jellyfish swings, while Atoll Adventures is a larger three-storey play structure with eight slides. Each attraction has its own minimum and maximum height and weight rules.
The 10,000-square-metre wave pool produces waves up to three metres. The operator describes it as southern Thailand’s largest artificial sea and says it has Thailand’s highest artificial waves; treat those as operator claims rather than independent rankings.
Standard tickets cost 1,800 THB for guests at least 122 cm tall and 1,200 THB for children 91–121 cm and seniors. Promotions have fixed end dates, so use the official booking page rather than assuming a routine discount.
The main park zone operates 10:00–18:00, while Emerald Forest continues to 19:00. Another operator page describes a general 19:00 close, so confirm the schedule for any attraction you plan to use late in the day.
The operator estimates 20 minutes from Patong, 15 minutes from Phuket Old Town and 35 minutes from the airport, depending on traffic. Taxi, private transfer or your own vehicle are the simplest options.
Safety Tip: Personal flotation devices are not allowed. Andamanda supplies approved life jackets and tubes, and staff enforce ride-specific height and weight limits.

Splash Jungle — enhancement work through September 2026
Splash Jungle is attached to Splash Beach Resort near Mai Khao Beach. The resort says the water park is undergoing enhancement work from 1 June to 30 September 2026 and is providing hotel guests with a temporary Splash Land programme.
The older water-park website still displays normal hours and a ticket promotion, which conflicts with the resort’s works notice. Do not rely on those prices or assume the usual rides are operating. Contact the resort directly before booking a day visit or choosing accommodation for water-park access.
When operating, the published attractions include Whizzard, Family Raft Ride, Super Bowl, Boomerango, body and tube slides, Lazy River, Wave Pool and several children’s areas. The operator does not publish a dependable total of 12 rides.
Children under 12 must stay with a responsible adult. Boomerango, Super Bowl and several body and tube slides require riders to be at least 1.22 metres, with additional weight limits. Shorter guests and weak or non-swimmers should use a life jacket.
The family resorts with waterslides in Phuket guide covers hotel pools and slides that may be easier to plan around during the works.
Blue Tree Phuket — what changed
Blue Tree’s current site no longer presents a lagoon water park. It describes an open-air community destination in Cherng Talay with shops, restaurants, services, wellness businesses, green common areas and a community park.
The complex publishes daily hours of 06:00–23:00, but individual businesses set their own schedules. Its current site does not confirm every older attraction or a blanket free-entry policy, so check the directory for the activity you intend to use.
Practical tips for any Phuket water park
How to book
Book Andamanda through its official page and read the promotion end date before comparing prices. During Splash Jungle’s enhancement period, contact Splash Beach Resort before paying any third-party seller. Cabanas, towels and lockers are separate products with their own availability.
What to bring
Bring swimwear without metal buttons or zips, a rash vest and footwear suitable for walking between attractions. Lockers and towels cost extra at Andamanda. Leave personal flotation devices at home because the park supplies approved equipment.
Getting there and staying connected
Arrange a taxi, transfer or your own vehicle and allow for Phuket traffic. Use the operator’s estimates as planning guides rather than guaranteed journey times.
If you’re on roaming data or a local SIM that’s running low, sorting connectivity before a full-day park trip is worth doing — it’s the easiest way to book tickets, call a Grab, and look up return timing without the stress. The best eSIM for Thailand guide compares providers from around 3 USD for a week of data.
How to choose what to do first
Choose by time of day, weather, and transport first. Thailand rewards early starts, and the best-looking stop on a map can be the wrong one if it puts you in midday heat or cross-town traffic.
Verdict: Andamanda is the dependable choice for a full water-park day in July 2026. Splash Jungle should remain off a fixed itinerary until its operator confirms which facilities are available during enhancement work. Blue Tree is useful for food, services and community spaces, but not as a replacement water park.
