Activities & Sports

Kite surfing at Jomtien beach

 
You'll find all the major water sports on offer from many outlets along both Pattaya and Jomtien beaches. There's scuba diving, wind surfing, jet and water skiing readily available.

Note that jet skis are confined to designated areas.

You can also charter deep sea fishing from one of several places near the pier.

Away from the water, you'll find many other sports to occupy your time. There are three bowling alleys, several golf courses, bungee jumping, go karts and even an international formula 3 racing circuit all nearby.
