Pattaya’s Untouched Paradise
Pattaya

Just 20 kilometres off the coast of bustling Pattaya, a 4-kilometre-long haven of sandy serenity rises from the Gulf of Thailand. The largest of Pattaya’s islands, Koh Phai boasts pristine white beaches and a solitary lighthouse. The island is meticulously maintained by the Royal Thai Navy and open to the public. A small fee gets you access to its beaches for the afternoon.

The east coast of Koh Phai beckons snorkelers with crystal-clear waters ranging from 4 to 8 metres deep. Explore vibrant coral reefs teeming with tropical fish. If you’re lucky you may even spot a majestic seahorse gliding through the shallows. To dive deeper into this hidden gem, hop aboard a Pattaya Yacht Charters boat and seek out a secluded bay.
