Went along on Saturday for three hours. Great fun, no skin left on my hands (let go when you fall!) and couldn't move sunday at all - far too unfit

Anyway, the prices are quite good and its a lot of fun, they have all the kit for you to use, knee boards, wakeboards, single and mon ski's.

Anyone fancy going along on Sunday for a couple of hourse or so? Need someone else to be falling over a lot and looking stupid as well

last time i went i totally winded myself and had bruised ribs for a few weeks. still, great fun nevertheless

falling over a lot? - check

looking stupid? - double check

count me in smartecosse.

cool, someone else who might be as bad as me

anymore want to give it a go?

This sounds fun . Unfortunately I'm off to Penang for the visa on Sunday, otherwise I'd give it a bash. Never done it before - or anything like it, so I'd be no competition!

Has the place recently re-opened? It's been some time since I was down that way, maybe 3 years now, it looked pretty derelict then.

I'd love to go ... sadly my ankle can't take it

guy said that they have been there ten years. it doe slook derelict all arond the entry area and car park but once you are down in the actual ski bit its fine.

think it might be a diff company that owns all the top bit

Years ago there was a fun fair - of sorts, in the front. When that closed I assumed everything had gone. I'll check it out sometime. Should be fun.

So...............................

Does nobody else want to make a fool of themselves on Sunday (at the cable ski park that is )

Looks expensive to me - much cheaper in Bang Na, Pattaya & Ratchaburi. Plus the Phuket cable ski isn't anywhere as near as good as Bang Na. I think they are gouging the tourists.

last time i went i negotiated it down to 300 baht for the day, that was during low season and there was only a couple of other people there. it was also on the weekend.

maybe they can get away with charging clueless tourists that much during the high season, but if you can speak Thai they know they can't rip you off (that much).

fark i never new that had a cable waterski park, i love them, i used to go approx 5 days a week before it was closed down in sydney.

When i was in phuket i was hoping i could go skiing but couldnt see any on the beaches.

1000 baht all day is so cheap, when i come back ill be there for sure

they have a "resident price"

350 for two hours

BKK is 200b for the first hour, 100b for each hour thereafter if I recall correctly... including gear and so on.

Gets a bit dull after the first hour (and a bit sore in the arms).

Pattaya is about double these prices, and you have to hire the board as well or else use junky skis. IN fact they may not have boards for hire anymore. The line is not as angled there, so harder to jump.

Phuket sounds expensive; Donz, PM next time you are here in BKK; I'll point you the way to get to Bangna, only 10 min from the new airport :-)

yeah you're right , that extra 50 baht is really going to break the bank.

so, for those that live in Phuket (and are happy to pay the extra 50 baht in price diff for the two hours) who else feels like going?

bump

bump

are you up for coming JD?

Sunday at 11 if u feel like it.

with my ankle? it is a non-starter for me! (left ankle is steel ...can't take the abuse!)

so its SUNDAY then?

lol

hey ... i just bumped this back to the top because it sounded like fun! I may ride over to take a look-see though

you know you should be fine on the knee boards even with a dodgy ankle and they can be great fun

That's a thought ....

but we'll leave it at Maybe!

The girls are off on Sunday .... maybe we could talk them into going

they also have a chair strapped to a knee board there.........

would you be more comfortable sitting

chair on a knee board?

you'll be doing plenty of face plants thats for sure

yeah, but his ankle would be ok

like I said ... I'll probably pass
