We highly recommend this ATV! The owners has been very helpful from the time they picked us from the hotel up until they sent us back after the activity. We recommend to book the one that includes a service transport since it’s quite far from the main road. Also, they offer a hill tour which you really should try! 🤩It’s worth it! The wife, one of the owners, is definitely an amazing guide! And oops, don’t bother if you don’t have an action cam. They will give you gears and helmet that is mounted with an action cam and you can purchase the memory card later after the activity. Definitely a must try in Pattaya! This is our first try with ATV and we didn’t regret at all! Experience it yourself 😊

This is our 2nd time visit to the Dinosaur Valley at NongNooch Garden. Our son loves dinosaur and this place is amazing in the range of dinosaurs available to see. All of them are done in real-life size and it is magnificent. Last time we went in August and 6 months later, there are new and more dinosaurs to see. Really recommended for a family day trip if you are in the Pattaya area. PS. At the moment (Feb 2021) the cultural show is not showing.

To go to Pattaya, in addition to sea amusement, there are many itineraries to go around. We rented a box car and we played around. I went to Patong Paradise, Sanctuary of Truth, Floating Market, and most let us get off at the 3D Art Museum for a total of 8 hours, which is very cost-effective and saves the trouble of finding a car along the road.

It is a very good dolphin show, it is very close to seeing, exciting. Buy it through klook, the price is cheaper than the venue. Recommended that if you have children To buy at the web page to it. Because I found one more person to buy at the event, the adult price booked through klook is equal to the child price at the venue. They actually measure the child's height at the venue.

Great day out thanks to Khun Pin, Captain Jack and team! K.Pin was helpful and very responsive leading up to the day, and also helped to coordinate on a special request to visit another beach in lieu of snorkeling. Captain Jack was also very polite and professional with good steering skills despite the strong waves. Activities were well coordinated and smooth sailing (pun intended) with plenty of flexibility so you can do things at your own pace and with your own private speedboat. Thank you K.Pin and team!

The sanctuary of truth is really amazing and would leave you astounded by its beauty. The tour guides are also very friendly and they explained the important halls and columns inside. They would normally ask if you wanna have the tour or if you just wanna look around and take photos. After the tour (if you decided to take one) you can roam around the sanctuary up until 6:00 pm to take the photos.
