For some people, nothing gets them going like the adrenaline rush. If you are one of those people, look no further than Pattaya.
Pattaya has a set of dedicated followers when it comes to dirt biking. Enduro Madness offers interested parties the chance to try out dirt biking over difficult terrains. There are plenty of options available starting with a small three hour trip up the hills to full blown twelve day tours. The company also offers training for those who wish to be better at handling bikes. Safe to say, this deserves to be at the top of your things to do in Pattaya. The Enduro Madness is in close proximity to hotels like AVANI Pattaya Resort & Spa which makes it easy to access.
If you are not comfortable enough on a bike, tear that trail with the use of an ATV. With simulated desert trails and other obstacles like a hill climb, this is sure to be an exhilarating experience. Most places offer one and a half hour or three hour tours.
Yes you read that right! Pattaya offers you the chance to try the much coveted skydiving activity. Open to newbies as well as experienced skydivers, rookie participants have to jump at a height of 4000m with the assistance of a jump-master while experienced skydivers with the license can go unaccompanied. For residents of Pattaya, skydiving courses are a venture they can enroll in.
If you feel 4000m is a bit too high for you, you can opt to go bungee jumping instead. Guaranteed to get your pulse rising, this bungee jump has a 60m drop above the water. Before signing up with the first company you see, be sure to do your research and sign up with a reputed company to avoid issues.
Switch the pace up by taking on the almost 400m BMX track in Pattaya. Widely acknowledged as the best BMX track in Thailand, the track has an abundance of jumps and steep curves that will keep you busy and focused. Be warned that you cannot hire bikes at the track and you will instead have to rent a bike from town.
If the BMX biking was a bit too slow for your liking, you can try your hand at track racing on a car, bike or go kart. You can race your car or bike at the main tracks while there is a separate track for go karting. For people who are interested in educating themselves on the field of racing, there are professionals who provide tuition and courses. The circuit can also be rented out!
Probably the most extreme sport on the list, Pattaya has the perfect setting for kite surfing. There is a slight learning curve which will be done by the company handling it and once you have passed that, you can proceed ahead to try your hand at it.
