Pattaya

Sports & the Outdoors

Pattaya Beach is the action center for water sports. Just go to the beach and you'll easily find plenty of vendors. Jet skiing is generally B600 for 30 minutes, parasailing B500 for 15 minutes, and waterskiing starts at B1,000 for 30 minutes. All activities are available from 7 am to 4 pm. Big inflatable bananas, yet another thing to dodge when you're in the water, hold five people and are towed behind a speedboat. They cost B1,000 or more for 30 minutes. For windsurfing, it's best to try Jomtien Beach, where you won't have to deal with all the motorized activities on Pattaya Beach. Pattaya offers scuba diving, but many other beaches have much better diving.
