Is it a water park? Is it an amusement park? It’s both! Columbia Pictures Aquaverse is the first AND only theme park in Thailand that features all your favorite characters from Columbia Pictures!

Interact with your favorite characters, like the cast of Hotel Transylvania, and hop on thrilling rides. Then, an exhilarating journey awaits as you take on the Ghostbusters Proton Stream, the world's first water dome attraction. But if you're looking to work on that perfect tan, check out the man-made lagoon and spend hours floating by the waters. Needless to say, a visit to this incredible water park will surely make your summer in Thailand even more fun!

A summer in Thailand without a beach trip? Unthinkable! Witness Pattaya's beautiful world underwater by traveling to Koh Larn, also known as Coral Island.

Parasail across the skies or jump into the water for some banana boating and jet skiing! Coral Island boasts some of the most beautiful beaches in the nation, making it the perfect place to unwind. This island has everything you need for a fun day no matter your preference!

You’ve probably been in your fair share of cafes, but what about one that floats? Get ready for a whole new experience when you visit Tappia Floating Cafe Pattaya. 

Like most cafes, you get to enjoy delicious food and beverages while you lounge about in their store, but at Tappia Floating Cafe, you’ll also get to admire the best sea view you can ask for! Patrons can engage in a variety of aquatic sports including parasailing and jet skiing for hours at a time. If that's not enough, you can go squid fishing and prepare any catch for sashimi or grilling. You don't hear about a cafe like this very often, so why not give it a try?

Still looking for more floating food establishments? You’re in luck because this private dinner cruise along the Chao Phraya River in Bangkok takes dining on water to a new level. 

As the sun sets on the horizon, spend two hours floating along the river with delicious food and wonderful company. Notable sites including the Grand Palace and the Wat Arun Buddhist temple can also be seen here. Even without the landscape, a lovely evening can be had, but when you add everything this boat has to offer, it becomes an unforgettable evening! 

Of course we won’t forget about shopping! In this Private Market Day Tour, you’ll get to visit the famous Damnoen Saduak Floating Market, the biggest floating market in the world, and the Maeklong Railway Market, the only market connected to an active railway. Both are home to a wide variety of treats and handcrafted goods from the area that are excellent keepsakes. Your guide will then take you to Asiatique the Riverfront for a classy meal once you've had your fill of shopping for the day.

Capping off our list of must-visit water attractions is one that is both fun and educational for the family—Sea Life Bangkok Ocean World.
