At Pattaya, you can not only relax yourself on its fascinating beach but also be amused by several challenging activities and games adding colour to your holidays. Most of such games are available in Southern Pattaya. Here are some of them.

Bowling
There alleys cater for bowlers, the Pattaya Bowl on Pattaya Road 2, an alley in the Royal Jomtien Hotel, and the OD Bowl in South Pattaya.

Cable Ski is a safeway for new skiers to practice water skiing effectively. The calm water in a pond dug specially for this purpose enables players to control their direction. The water is just deep enough to allow a person to stand on their feet without getting emerged. This assures the skiers of their safety when they fall into it accidentally.

Golf
Golfers can enjoy challenging rounds a 9 scenic 18-hole courses near the resort, and a small course at the Asia Hotel. In most cases, clubs, shoes and other equipment can be rented, and green and caddy fees are eminently reasonable. During weekdays, there are few courses that need to be booked in advance.

Go Kart Racing is ideal for speed lovers who will be provided with a small racing Go Kart with the incredible speed of almost 100 kilometres per hour. Drivers can show their ability in controlling the speedy car in a full fling on a racing field.

Jogging
A jogging track is an integral part of the pleasantly landscaped Pattya Fitness Park located near the summit of Pattaya hill. Certain hotels have jogging tracks. Jogging is also enjoyable along the promenades facing Pattaya Bay, and along Jomtien Beach.

Laser Trex in which players are engaged in a simulated star war. Firing laser guns at the rivals and set targets are the excitement of the game, of which the objective is to make the highest scores counted according to the number of targets hit.

Moto Racing
The Bira International Circuit at Km 14 on Route 36 to Rayong periodically stages international motorand motorcycle racing. The 2.4 kilometre track is ideal for Formular 3 racing. There are daily opportunities for speed enthusiasts who enjoy driving their own two-wheeled or four-wheeled vehicles around the challenging track for nominal fees.

Paintball
A game played in a model battle-field in an enclosed spacious area to create the atmosphere of a real fight. All players are provided with safety dresses and marks to protect them from any bodily harm. Air guns filled with plastic shots driven by the pressure of carbon dioxide inside are used as weapons. A shot will burst into colour water when hitting a victim. The players are divided into two teams, each trying to seize the flag of the other team and bring it back safely to their base before the other. Excitement is what the game never fails to offer.

Squash can be enjoyed at the Cherry Tree pub on the Siam Country Club Golf Course road, the Dusit Resort Pattaya and Ambassador City, Jomtien.
