Underwater World pattaya - when is a child not a child in Pattaya
Oct 10th, 2007 | By Editor | Category: Pattaya NewsWhen you visit Underwater World Pattaya it seems.
I went with my family at the weekend and at the ticket desk is a height board similar to those you often see on fairground rides i.e..
My 3 year old son easily passed as a child but my 11 year old daughter was a good 5 centimetres into the “Adult” section. She is actually very small for her age measuring around 145cm tall.
As a consequence we had to pay three “adult” fares (not cheap at around 400 baht each).
What annoyed me is that we had called them and asked the entrance price. The answer was that Adults were 400 baht, children 200 and toddlers free.
I told the ticket office my daughter is eleven years old and CLEARLY a “child” but they were having none of it. An email to the management has (so far) gone unanswered.
It’s just another example of many “rip-off” descriptions you always see here. Their literature should state “children under 140cm” or whatever it happens to be.
Hmm, we have been there twice. my daughter althro 3 yrs old is taller then the sign. We have shown that I live in Thailand with my Thai driving lience and with my Thai wife and child have been given tickets for all total cost 400B.
So maybe a change of attitude and polite request it will work for ithers?
We were VERY polite they just wouldn’t have it. My wife wasn’t with us but the two kids are quite obviously Thai. Maybe there is a world of difference between an 11 year old and a 3 year old who is OBVIOUSLY a child.
You did very well getting in three of you for 400 baht - their single adult fee is 400 baht alone.
