Overall, everything was fine and it was a great experience. However, there was a small issue with the pickup , I was told they couldn't come to get me and that I had to make my own way there. Additionally, when I arrived, I was asked to pay an extra 200 baht, which I found quite confusing.

The trip started with good vibes, the pick up man reached on time to the hotel and took us to the pattaya beach, all over the trip it was extremely smooth and tension free and enjoyed a lot through out the day, all the people who managed the trip clearly explained our needs and the process and guided properly till the end. At last the lunch provided by them was delicious must try option as they have varities of food.

I've been island hopping in the Philippines a lot, but the Thailand cruise hopping was really convenient and great. It was cleaner than I expected and the bathroom was nice. The staff were friendly and spoke English, Chinese, and Korean, so it was easy to understand everything. Food was provided, and there were extra things you could buy, so it didn't feel like a waste of money. It was more fun and better than I expected. We had a party on the way back, which was exciting and fun. I plan to use it again next time I come to Thailand. Thank you! 😄

The tour was very well organized. It was a full day tour from morning to sunset. The buffet lunch provided along with free drinks and other amenities like snorkel mask and fishing wire were very good. Overall a great option for enjoying a full day on yatch for a very affordable price. Highly recommended.

The Pattaya 3 Island catamaran experience was truly unique and special. The crew demonstrated excellent teamwork, ensuring that everyone on board was happy, safe, and well taken care of. They were always available to answer any questions and provide assistance whenever needed, which made the trip even more enjoyable. What made this experience stand out was how well-organized the boat was, with assigned seating for everyone. The food was spectacular—a delicious buffet lunch featuring perfectly cooked dishes and fresh fruit. I want to extend a special thank you to Joy and Ted, for running everything so smoothly. The entire team did a fantastic job, making the trip memorable for all of us.

Tips before visiting Pattaya

1. Explore different beaches

Pattaya Beach can be crowded, so you may want to visit quieter places like Jomtien Beach or Naklua. These areas offer cleaner water, calmer vibes, and better spots for swimming or relaxing.

2. Be mindful of nightlife areas

Walking Street is famous but can be overwhelming, especially for families. It’s safe to visit, but it’s best to know what to expect. If you prefer a calmer evening, try beachside restaurants or night markets instead.

3. Dress respectfully at temples

When visiting places like the Sanctuary of Truth or the Big Buddha Temple, make sure to wear clothing that covers your shoulders and knees. This shows respect for local culture and helps you enter all areas without issues.

4. Plan your transportation

Pattaya has many ways to get around, like songthaews (shared taxis), motorbike taxis, and ride-hailing apps. Before you go out, check prices or use an app to avoid paying more than you should. This will make your trip smoother and easier.
