Shonen Posted October 28, 2023 Posted October 28, 2023 The beaches are not great, but pools are nice for swimming. Excercise can be a drag, but swimming isn’t so bad, just hate the initial cold . Many days in December and early January can be too cold for swimming in Pattaya. I’ve noticed different hotels or condos have warmer or cooler water. For instance, Arcadia Beach condo is very warm as it’s in direct sunlight most of the day They have five pools. Yensabai isn’t bad either if you can avoid the old French men gossiping in the pool all day. My condo, Unixx is average to cold, only short time in the sun. Boy69 1 Quote
Kostik Posted October 28, 2023 Posted October 28, 2023 Considering the 90 days visa-free stay, many of my friends are planning to travel to Pattaya this winter Quote

Londoner Posted October 29, 2023 Posted October 29, 2023 My first trip to Pattaya was a few weeks after I'd been staying on Grande Anse Beach in Grenada. I remember looking out of my window at Royal Garden and saying, "Oh my God." There were of course some compensations. In fact, so many that I've never returned to the Caribbean. Ruthrieston 1 Quote
