Yangon’s first water park has been ‘closed until further notice’, according to an announcement on its Facebook page, after a fairly disastrous opening day.
Visitors to the Thaketa Township park yesterday reported numerous problems including but not limited to: incredibly murky water, stray dogs and dysfunctional rides.

In response to viral social media posts criticizing the site, the management today posted this apology:
“We regret that visitors who came yesterday had to come across a lot of technical and operational issues, mainly due to our water treatment system is not yet functioning optimally.
“Therefore after much deliberation, the Management would like to announce that Yangon Waterboom will be temporary closed until further notice.
“Our team is currently working hard to fix the problem to meet the expected condition.
“Rest assured, we will resolve this as quickly as possible. YWB will re-open in the near future with a much better and improved service.”
We hope so. Wouldn’t want to see any more disappointed kids. Or puppies.
