The park, the largest in Thailand, feautres seven themed zones based on the world's continents including, the North Pole, Africa, Asia, Inca Mayas, Northern Europe, North America and Asia.
The opening of the water park had been delayed due to a dispute between the owners of West Sands and local villagers over the felling of six protected pine trees.
Visitors to the park can experience a multitude of different rides and attractions including a long lazy river, large wave pool, aquarium and even a snow machine!
