Daytrips in and Around Pattaya
There are lots of adventure activities to do in
Pattaya, so what ever the age of the child they are going to have a good
time - whether it is gaining confidence in the water, meeting a new animal
or learning something new.
 Idea
Encourage your child to become a "rock
hound" - look for a special pebble to collect on the beach (or on a hike
or by a river on your next trips). If they collect a small momento on
every trip - they will soon have a very special collection, which keeps
the memory of their different holidays alive.
The following "child friendly" trips have been given icons for whether
they are:
 = Fun for all the
family
 = Focusing on younger
children
 = Something which
your teenagers will enjoy
The Beaches
Jomtien Beach, has a huge 14 km stretch of beach. The water is calm and
it is the best area for all types of water sports activities. Wong Amat
Beach, is a quieter alternative if you just wish to chill out and
relax.
Also, the Coral Islands, are just a short boat trip away from Pattaya.
There are the islands of Koh Larn, Koh Lin and Koh Phai, all of which are
surrounded by crystal clear waters which is ideal for scuba diving and
snorkeling
