Although the beautiful beach in Pattaya has been spoiled by unregulated growth and pollution, about 2 kilometers from south Pattaya, Jomtien Beach remains relatively clean and unspoiled.
Jomtien Beach is a destination of choice for family. Jomtien beach is more peaceful and has lesser outrageous night life activities compare to Pattaya beach. Pattaya beach is more for party animal.
Jomtien offers more family activities such as jet skiing and wind surfing because it has a long straight coastline with less boat anchored. With water that is considerably much cleaner, it is also an attactive location for swimming.
Here's a list of things to do in Jomtien, (Note: rates are normally negotiable)
Banana Boat - About 5-10 people can get on this both at a time. It is not really a boat but a long straight balloon that floats on the water. The speed boat will pull this banana boat in the sea. It is fun. Rates 700 Baht/ 30 minutes
Jet Ski - You can rent a jet ski for about 1,200 Baht/ hour
Water Ski - About 500-1,000 Baht, depending on availability.
Parasailing - 300 Baht for about 5 minutes or a round in the sea, not a very big round.
Almost inevitably Jomtien also has many hawkers, plying anything from ice cream and fruits right when you're trying to relax by sitting on chairs along the beach. This can be quite annoying but again Jomtien beach is more pleasant than Pattaya beach.
There are many nice restaurants offering cuisine from various places of the world. At Pattaya Park in Jomtien area, you can also find the famous revolving restaurant, from this place you can see 360 degrees view of Pattaya from top of the tower, This place keeps rotating.
