Bowling
There are three international standard bowling alleys with digital scoring, top gear and even coffee shops for snacks and ice-cold beer.
Go-karts
Children love the resort's two go-kart circuits that cater for beginners all the way to race-bred amateurs. There's even an off-road track for
those who like to eat dust. Karts are powered by 5 hp to 15hp engines, but there is an advanced category for race-proven drivers.
Water-skis
If water-skiing in Pattaya bay is too much of a challenge, there's the cable-ski on an inland lake where children can safely handle the fun
of skiing and parents can breath easily..
Elephants
Learn about elephants from the experts at the Pattaya Elephant Village. While there is an afternoon show designed for children, there is
also the opportunity to meet the Village's elephant handlers who explain the lifestyle and care of elephants even to demonstrating the
use of Thai herbal medicines.
Trail rides
Elephant or pony treks through meadows and forested hills just a few kilometres inland from Pattaya are popular half-day activities.
These rides pass through villages, farms and plantations and even ford streams.
Paintball
A mock-up of a typical Thai village in a coconut plantation is the venue for paintball competitions. It has a Rambo air to it, making the mock
battles appear even more authentic.
Horse riding
A school with 40 horses and an indoor stadium where trainers show both riders and horses the steps to master both sport and classical
riding skills. Trail rides are organised on the club's 2,500 acre property. A group ride for four to six people costs approximately €30.
Thai boxing
Pattaya has its own boxing stadiums and a professional training camp that is open to visitors. It even enrols foreigners for short courses in the
basic skills and traditions that govern this exciting sport.
Theme parks and shows
Scaled-down models of famous buildings throughout Thailand and Southeast Asia plus a few of the popular European ones for good measure
make for an interesting family outing. There is also an open zoo that has the second largest walk-through aviary in Asia. Children love to view
tigers and crocodiles that are kept in an environment that is close to their natural habitat. A half day can easily be spent watching a cultural
and folk dance show followed by demonstrations by working elephants as well as handcraft presentations. One enterprising local has even
created a floating market with all the trappings such as the typical fruit and noodles vendors who hail from nearby villages. There are also
handicraft demonstrations and an introduction to rice cultivation. |
