Golf Pattaya: Information for Golfers

Pattaya is located 140 kilometers (90 miles) south of Bangkok on the eastern side of the Gulf of Thailand. Thirty years ago Pattaya was a small fishing village with a population of a couple of hundred Thai people. Any tourist who happened by had probably made a wrong turn. The Vietnam war and rapidly growing tourism changed all that. Pattaya is now a thriving city with some 450,000 locals and an uncountable number of tourists at any one time.
The city has a well deserved reputation as the entertainment capital of Thailand. There are well in excess of 3000 bars where western tourists can discover the allure of Singha Beer and Thai bar girls. Although the beautiful beach at Pattaya has been spoiled by unfettered growth and pollution, just a few kilometers to the south, Jomtien Beach remains relatively clean and unspoiled. Koh Samet is a 30 minute boat trip away from the center of Pattaya and has miles of virgin beaches and is virtually undeveloped. Some effort is now being made to clean up the main beach at Pattaya and with the installation of proper sewage and storm water facilities, rapid progress is being made.
There are many activities for tourists in Pattaya. From spectacular scenery, beautiful beaches, elephant shows, beautiful temples, Buddhist shrines, shopping, and cabaret shows to an endless list of eateries, both foreign and local.
