We use the 10 day advance report when we are planning an excursion to another location in Thailand. Sometimes we need a break from "Party City".
On some occasions we travel to an area near Sattahip where there is a quiet beach with crystal clear water, delicious food, lots of shady trees, and no beach walking vendors.
It is a great beach to swim at high tide.
We prefer to swim at most beaches around Pattaya on the high tide. |
|
At low tide it is just too shallow and you have to walk out a long way to reach a depth at which you can swim. Click on this link to check out the:
tidal chart for levels predicted at Sattahip.
Pattaya Promise has more details about how to get to the tranquil beach near Sattahip and a few other secluded beaches in the area.

Pattaya Tidal ChartFor tidal predictions at Pattaya beaches we use the:
tidal chart recorded at Ko Si Chang the nearest tide station to Pattaya.

If you plan to venture out to sea during your visit to Pattaya please check the weather conditions before you begin your adventure.

Thailand Tsunami
The above banner represents the Tsunami Alarm website where you can view a record of all the seismic activity above magnitude 5 around the world including a record of all tsunami warnings issued since September 2005.

Stormy Weather |
|
|
Whilst on a fishing expedition off the coast of Pattaya a friend shot the picture above of a precipitious storm cloud hovering over his return path to Pattaya bay.
A storm often appears without any warning then after twenty minutes of drenching everything in its path it dissapears as quickly as it arrived.
Everything is cooled down, the air is fresh, the dust setteled. This is the rainy season. |
