Swim with dolphins - don't miss the chance to make the dream come true

                                                       

                                       

 

The year ahead ?

The prospects are not looking good for 2009 anywhere in the world, and Pattaya is no exception. Thai businesses, both large and small, whose livelihoods depend on tourism are sure of only one thing - it's going to be a tough year.

On the other hand those tourists who decide to come will be rewarded by being in a buyers' paradise.  Where else would £20/Euros get you a nice-sized hotel room with air-con, fridge, cable TV and really good service. Most hotels have a pool and other sporting facilities such as tennis courts.

 Old Thailand hands are unlikely to be put off by the recession or any of the other problems. They know that Thailand has it's own unique way of muddling through just about anything.

So what sort of holiday can you expect in Pattaya ? Well you can be sure of two things - fun and sun. From now to November the weather will be hot with occasional rain - especially in September.

But as night falls the temperature can drop to around 20c. The sea temperature 29-30c and we are  getting  good viz when diving.

Apart from the weather there are many other reasons why this a great time to book a holiday in Pattaya. Our day trips to swim with trained dolphins are fantastically popular with all of the family. There are super hotels, wonderful restaurants and scores of things to do - swimming with dolphins, hash running, golfing, driving go-karts or ATVs, and of course, snorkeling and scuba diving on coral reefs and shipwrecks.

Is it safe to visit Thailand ? Well the sad fact of life is that nowhere in the world can be guaranteed to be safe from the effects of nature or humans. And that probably includes where YOU are living right now.

But if you are worried that you might get  blown up, blown over, flooded,  die of bird 'flu, Mexican swine 'flu get made redundant, go broke.... then you  might just as well come  to Thailand and  have a bit of fun first. 

And there's no place better to go than Pattaya if you seek fun.

So come and dive with us - we have a special one-day PADI course  to introduce you to the magic of "flying" weightlessly over a coral reef. Or, if you are already a certified diver come out for fun dives, or do a bit of training to improve your diving skills and improve your certification rating.

Does your job and your life lack fun and adventure ? Does it offer you an exciting and fun filled future? If you answer "no" to any of those questions then why not join one of our tailor-made courses which can take you from novice diver to become a PADI professional scuba instructor in just six months.

Please note that we are the only dive operation in Pattaya that offers "pay as you go" internships rather than asking you to gamble with the total amount.  email  us at   dchandler@loxinfo.co.th and we will be happy to answer your questions and provide further information.

Newest Wreck

Pattaya's newest wreck was sunk as a diver attraction and artificial reef just over a year ago. She's the Luang Khud, a medium-sized landing craft and a sister ship of the HTMS Khram which was sunk off Pattaya in January 2002.

Diving in Thailand Diving in Thailand centres on Pattaya, Koh Samui and Koh Tao in the Gulf of Siam and on Phuket and Koh Phi Phi in the Andaman Sea. You can dive on magical coral reefs; go down on wrecks in warm, clear water and float with clouds of tropical fish. Thailand is great for people who want to learn to dive. Pattaya, being more northerly, is not subject to the monsoon seasons that can affect locations in the south. We have a rainy season, but we don't get the sudden, fierce, tropical storms that can strike without warning in the south of Thailand. It is also a great place for families and solo travelers. Hotels in Pattaya offer the best value for money anywhere in the world and you can eat out in a different restaurant every night of the year and sample the cuisine of a score or more countries. As well as being a fun place Pattaya also blends the best of the east and the west. You can eat sea-fresh prawns, lobster and crabs sitting under the stars on a balmy warm evening; party every night, stroll around Buddhist temples, visit a sapphire mine, go for an elephant trek, watch an amazing show where it's hard to believe that all the girls are boys, or another where the stars are crocodiles; bungee jump, sky-dive, sail, jet-ski, go game-fishing, learn to fly a micro-lite, look at orchids in a wonderful garden resort, go to a floating market....the list is endless. And, if things go wrong there are three, first-class international hospitals, which not only offer excellent health care, but also attract many people who come for cosmetic surgery and dentistry at bargain prices. If you are looking for a fun hotel to stay - right in the heart of Pattaya's sizzling nightlife - then click on the Penthouse Hotel logo below. But if you want somewhere where the main noise at night is the song of crickets and frogs then we know just the place.
