Active holidays in Pattaya
Posted by Party Pete on February 22nd, 2008 filed in Water sports, just visiting, sightseeingBesides the world-famous nightlife, beach areas and shopping malls, Pattaya also represents a wide range of exciting sports and other leisure options for tourists, particularly those who planning to stay longer than two weeks in the seaside resort. Some of the interesting activities which will keep holidaymakers certainly busy include: swimming, boating, snorkeling, scuba diving, sailing and parasailing.
Parasailing, an awesome experience!
From the Bali Hi Pier boats pick daredevils up, who want to experience the excitement of parasailing. You’ll be transported to the pontoons, where guidelines to beginners as well as advanced persons will be given. The weather conditions need to be suitable as during windy days, parasailing won’t be an option.
Sailing and boating has become extremely popular among tourists in Pattaya. Today, the place hosts even several international and national regattas. Koh Larn Island is a beloved daytrip sailing destination. Many sailors arrive here in the morning and return in the early evening.
Divers will find a number of specialist agencies providing supervisors and professional instructors. The dive spots around Pattaya’s waters boast a rich marine life along with an abundance of coral. Diving here isn’t expensive and the ocean’s temperature is pleasurable, around 27C. This explains why more and more international divers choose Pattaya as their next dive destination.
The Western as well as the Thai tourists love to swim. You’ll probably notice that the Thai bathers go into the ocean while still wearing most of their clothes. They’re still shy about showing too much of their bodies and they don’t really mind as their clothes will be dry again within a short time.
The Kart Speedway in Pattaya features one 800m long track. Go-karters can make a choice out of a selection containing several different kart types. The karts are well-maintained and therefore maintain in a good condition.
Pattaya is also a great golf holiday destination. Each day of the week it is possible to play a round of golf at a different course! Some of the resort’s world-class courses are designed by Trent Jones, Dye, Wolderidge, Nicklaus, Thompson and Faldo. Courses are usually facilitated with recreational features such as a massage services, spas and fitness centres.
Other things to do in Pattaya include; strolling along the renowned Walking Street, which is crammed with girlie and go go bars, beer pubs, restaurants, cabaret and music venues. Daytrips to the Tiger Zoo are popular among families while elephant camps, alligator farms, orchid gardens, and sapphire mines are all located within the surrounded area as well.
