Escape from Winter

As winter in the West approaches now is a great time to book a Christmas or new year holiday in Pattaya, Thailand, and escape to the sun, great hotels, super restaurants, swimming with dolphins, hash running or snorkelling and scuba diving on coral reefs and shipwrecks.

Most tourists who have been to Thailand before reckon that from October to April  is the best time of the year to escape Europe's short dark days, snow, ice and fog and swap them for  blue, cloudless skies, balmy star-lit nights, swimming in a 29c sea and getting a golden tan that will make their friends go green with envy when they get back home.

But how safe is this part of the world ? 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 it seems that ordinary people have decided that if you are going to be blown up, blown over, flooded, or die of bird 'flu then it can happen at home as well as abroad and they might as well have a bit of fun first. 

And there's nowhere better to go than Pattaya if you seek fun.

There's a lot more to Pattaya than just diving. There are many wonderful and inexpensive golf courses, scores of amazing sights to see and things to do and then end the day with dinner by the beach under the stars.

So come and dive with us - we have special one-day courses 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 certification rating.

Does your job and your life lack fun and adventure ? Then why not join one of our tailor-made courses which can take you from novice diver to become a PADI professional scuba instructor. Click on the Learn to Dive button or email us for details:       dchandler@loxinfo.co.th

Newest Wreck

Pattaya's newest wreck was sunk purposely one year ago as a diver attraction and artificial reef. She's the Luang Khud, a medium-sized landing craft and a sister ship of the HTMS Khram. Click for more details

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 Phuket.

It is also a great place for families and solo travellers. 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 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. Contact us CLICK
