Yangon waterboom, which opened for only one day in March and quickly shut after numerous and hilarious complaints about how bad it was, had its soft (re)opening on Wednesday amid soaring temperatures and power outages across the city.
Visitors flocked to the Thaketa Township park nearly two months ago but quickly reported numerous problems, including, but not limited to: incredibly murky water, stray dogs and dysfunctional rides.
Quite the contrast with the promotional images now on the Facebook page, which show shirtless bros having fun in water that isn’t murky at all.
It’s been a while, so maybe the place has improved. And to the park’s credit, management offered free entry to those with receipts from the March 2 mess. It’s also incredibly hot outside, so having access to enormous quantities of water is a good thing.
There is currently a 20% discount on the entrance fee, which costs about $20 for adults but is a little cheaper on the weekend. Hours of operation for now are 10am to 7pm.
The park is closed on Mondays.
