Attractions in Pattaya
Pattaya is one of the oldest diving centers
in this part of Asia. It has a year-round diving season with good
visibility. The water has a mean temperature of 28 degrees C and there is
a rich variety of marine life and corals. There are also two wrecks which
experienced divers can explore: the Bremen, a 300-foot boat, lies upright
in 25 meters off the Thai navy town of Sattahip,
|
while the freighter Hardeep rests in 30 meters in a channel between two islands off Samae San,
not far from Sattahip. Pattaya offers a wide choice of well-stocked and
safe PADI and NAUI operators with competitive prices. Most of them have
offices along the waterfront. Costs average at about 1,500 Baht per day,
including transportation, food and equipment. Visitors can windsurf, water ski, sea walk,
swim, sunbath, snorkel, sail, go fishing, or take trips to offshore coral islands.
They can rent jet ski to explore Pattaya bay and motorcycles and jeeps to
explore neighboring beaches such as Jomtien beach just south of Pattaya.
Tennis enthusiasts can enjoy themselves at the court in our Condo. Further
entertainment includes bowling, snooker halls, indoor and outdoor
shooting, archery, kart racing, parasail, bungy jump, etc. |

park with water slides, whirlpools and a large pool for children. It is
