Sports in Pattaya

An active day in Pattaya is built around the water. Every programme runs out to Koh Larn by speedboat, and the menu of activities starts there: snorkelling over the coral fields, parasailing behind the boat, banana-boat rides and a helmet walk on the seabed, where you move on foot and the air comes down from the surface. The seabed walk needs no diving skills: your head stays dry inside the helmet.

The options differ in how many activities fit into the day. The simplest six-hour trip at 43 dollars keeps to snorkelling and swimming; 53 dollars adds parasailing over the bay to a seven-hour day. The sea-walk combinations cost 62 and 74 dollars and run two to five hours: the first pairs the seabed walk with your choice of banana boat or mask, the second throws in the parasail flight as well. Briefing, gear and in-water supervision come with the price.
