NEJLEPŠÍ WAKE PARK V ASII
Phuket Wake Park se nachází v centru ostrova Phuket v Kathy. Výhodná poloha 30 minut od mezinárodního letiště. Nádherné pláže, restaurace a noční podniky ve vzdálenosti 10-15 minut jízdy od parku.
Zajezdit si můžete buď na Full-size vleku nebo na 2.0. Full-size je dlouhý cca 666m a srandu si tady užijete na 12 překážkách. Když spadnete z vleku, tak vás týpek na mopedu hodí zpátky na start.
V areálu parku dál najdete bazén, sprchu, restauraci nabízející tradiční thajské speciality, ale i jídla klasičtější pro cizince, bar v nejvyšším patře s výhledem na jezero, půjčovnu wakeboardů, obchod s vybavením a oblečením a 28 hotelových pokojů pro ubytování. Pořádají se tady různé wake campy, wake školy. Kdo chce svoji jízdu vypilovat pod dohledem zkušenějších, tak má možnost najmout si kouče. Skvělá destinace, úžasný počasí.

On website they announce “working hours Mon 10-18”. Well we were there at 1pm just to hear that they open always at 3pm on Mondays due maintenance.
Ok, came back before three, just to notice that cable was still under maintenance. We waited until 4pm - at that point they had 2-3 carriers installed, rest of the cable was empty. Estimate was “maybe one hour “. Well they close at 6pm so it wasn’t worth to wait anymore, we drove back to our hotel and wasted one day of our holiday.
Unreliable, poor information on website. Next day at another Phuket wake park, Sport Wake Park near the airport was just perfect!
A variety of obstacles, pick-up service if you fall on the far end, showers and toilets in reasonable condition - all you need. We only missed a restaurant, but that might be due to Covid-induced lower visitor numbers(?).
As for the wakeboarding, water doesn't feel clean, a bit fishy smell, obstacles are ok, but not great. People leave boards and boots all over the platform and cut in all the time.
The staff is the most unfriendly I found in a wakepark, they just don't even try to speak sometimes, it was very strange.
If you come to Phuket mainly for the wakeboarding, just don't bother, Bangkok area has 3 great parks where you can get better price, service and wakeboarding experience.
Training for kids is usually started from 6-7 y.o.
