Beach Activities

Beach Activities are plentiful in Pattaya. If your konstruct some racing cars or speed boats out ids get tired of building ordinary sand castles then help them cof sand...they can 'race' these for hours or of course there are umpteen other activities such as volley ball, beach cricket and the like to entertain the children. There are simply so many things one can do on a beach besides shell collecting and catching a tan.

Diving and Snorkeling

It's recommended that children don't learn to scuba dive before they are 13 years old but snorkelling can be done by anyone. If you or your children can't swim, don a life jacket (far safer than other forms of floating apparatus) and join in. You don't have to cart the family out on an organised trip either just swimming about along the shore-line can be exciting.

Elephant Rides

If you like views, heights and elephants, there's no better way to survey the jungles of Pattaya than atop one of these meandering monoliths. Even if you don't want a ride, you can buy bananas from the elephant venue and hand feed the animals. Don't forget to take pictures of the kids and these new found friends to send home to Grand-ma and Grand-pa.

Go-Carting

Thrill at the speed as you zoom around the go cart track. Go-karting is popular in Thailand and Pattaya hold many karting competitions. When the tracks aren't holding international events, the general public may rent the vehicles and try the sport out for themselves. There are beginner, advanced and an off-road track.

Sailing

A slightly different water activity and not often considered by those who aren't already involved in the sport, sailing is definitely an, 'all in the family' pass-time no matter what your children's ages. From the burbling baby to the teenager, what better way than to really discover Pattaya's coast and offshore islands, other than on a boat? There are a number of sailing dinghy and catamaran rental outlets on most beaches in the area.

If you would rather spend the day being taken by boat rather than having to play with sails and ropes, you can always charter a speed boat to get the family around on the water.

Nightlife

Discotheques, transvestite cabarets, nightclubs, coffee shops, open-air bars, amusement arcades and restaurants with live music and entertainment compete for attention. Most establishments are located along the Pattaya Beach Rd and in South Pattaya, the resort's major shopping area. Pattaya is home to one of the largest cabarets in all of Asia. Guaranteed no exploitation of 'women' as all the performers are transvestites.
