The whole trip was pretty easy and convenient. They even take you to 7-Eleven to buy some things first, and then take you to change clothes. The changing area is spacious, and the whole trip was good. The only regret is that the sea in Thailand is very murky, so it's hard to see clearly, and there aren't many fish or many different kinds.

do note it’s just one round of parasailing ..NOT 15mins on the air. overall was fun (if nv done before parasailing) But the experience from the small boat to/fro the parasailing destination was not so fantastic shoes would get wet. Photos would be taken & charged separately if you decided to purchase the picture.

We booked a day trip from Bangkok to Samae San Island and it was a great experience! Pick-up from our hotel was at 6:50 am in a comfortable van, with a quick stop at Khao Chi Chan for photos. At the meeting point we met our guide Koko, who was very friendly and explained the plan. Lockers, showers, and changing rooms were available which was very convenient. The speedboat ride itself was fun, and we had three island stops – first in shallow water to snorkel with fishes, second in deeper water where we could free dive and even take photos with Nemo (guides help if you can’t swim), and the third on a beautiful beach with paddle boards. Lunch was included at a nice restaurant. After activities we could shower and change with clean towels and hairdryers provided. We got back to our hotel in Bangkok around 6:15 pm. Overall, very well organized and a perfect option if you want an island and snorkeling trip while staying in Bangkok!

What to know before visiting Pattaya

Top Pattaya Attractions

Sanctuary of Truth

The Sanctuary of Truth is one of the most famous landmarks in Pattaya. You can explore a huge wooden temple filled with detailed carvings that show Thai culture, religion, and art. It’s a peaceful place where you can learn about the beliefs and history that shape Pattaya.

Pattaya Beach

Pattaya Beach is the most popular beach in Pattaya, and it’s perfect if you want to relax by the water or try activities like jet skiing and parasailing. You’ll find restaurants, shops, and beach chairs all along the shore, making it easy to spend the whole day there.

Nong Nooch Tropical Garden

Walking Street Pattaya

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.
