Pattaya is waiting for you...

...and July means bigger bargains

Many hotels are slashing prices even though they are already set at low season rates and most of the tourist attractions are not busy. Which makes July a good month to visit Thailand.

It's is also a good month for diving. The sea temperature is around 30C(86F and that adds to the fun of learning to dive. But July is a great month to dive Pattaya whether you are a learner, novice or an experienced diver. 

Never dived before?  No problem, sign up for the PADI Discover Diving course and you can go and dive on a coral reef under the supervision of your PADI Instructor the following day.

Being low season makes it a great time to come and enjoy glorious sunshine, super hotels, wonderful restaurants, swimming with dolphins, pristine golf courses, legendary night life and scores of fun things to do for all the family - and from the moment you arrive in town you will be in a buyers' paradise.

So what sort of holiday can you expect in Pattaya in July ? Well you can be sure of two things - fun and sun with the odd shower to cool things down.

Apart from the weather and bargain prices there are many other reasons why this a great time to visit Pattaya. Unfortunately  our day trips to swim with trained dolphins, are on hold for a few months while the dolphin park is renovated.

We're keeping the web page with the details open if you'd like to read about this fantastic day out - or click to see our short video of one family at play.

On the diving side, one of our most popular courses is for people who have never previously dived. It's a special one-day course called PADI Discover Scuba Diving. This is a wonderful opportunity for people who have thought about learning to dive but aren't sure whether they would enjoy it.

Here's how it works. You'll get a full briefing from your PADI professional scuba instructor as the dive boat heads to the coral islands. After learning a few simple skills standing in shallow water by the beach you're off for your first dive, under close supervision.

If you are already a certified diver you can go for fun dives or maybe take another course to improve your certification rating and open the way to sites currently beyond your training.

So come and dive with us.  Experience the magic of "flying" weightlessly over a coral reef, or explore the four wrecks on our day trips. At the end of the day's diving join our staff for a cold beer or two, relax and discuss what you saw while you were exploring Thailand's under-sea kingdom.

Diving Thailand is a British, family-run, authorised PADI dive school so you know you will be in safe, properly trained, professional hands. We are also bonded by the Tourist Authority of Thailand.

Is your job secure ? Does your future promise to be fun-filled and exciting? If you answered "no" to either 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.

Unlike other dive schools we don't demand the full cost of instructor internship training up-front and non-refundable. With us you simply pay for each course as you work your way up from being a PADI Open Water diver to becoming a PADI Open Water Instructor.

That means you can start your dive instructor training with an outlay of just £83; Euros 91 or US$ 175*. No other dive shop in Pattaya gets near that price !

*These prices are subject to exchange rate fluctuations

Newest Wreck

Pattaya's newest wreck was sunk as a diver attraction and artificial reef  in 2008. 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. Click for more details

Diving 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 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 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.

   But if you want somewhere where the main noise at night is the song of crickets and frogs then we know just the place.  Just drop us an email telling us what you are looking for and we'll try and point you in the right direction
