Sun Sea and Sand - Jomtien Beach -Thailand
For the ultimate beach vacation there is no better location than
that of "Jomtien Beach" in Thailand Which is just a two hours
ride in a taxi from Bangkok Airport. The Jomtien Beach is
located about two kilometers from its busy counterpart resort of
South Pattaya. Jomtien beach and the area
along its beach road have now become more and more popular for
swimming, water sports and activities because it has a long
straight coastline and they're being less boats anchored in its
waters. There are very many good quality hotels, bungalows and
guesthouses. A wide range of small and large condominiums is
also available for short or long term rental and many good
restaurants serving a wide variety of fresh seafood with a full
range of Thai cuisine and International dishes. Many tourists
come to this area to just enjoy the scenery and the beach.
Chairs are available to sit with a table to have food and drink
served directly to you as you soak up the sun or simply lay back
and listen to the waters lapping on the sand. Go swimming or
enjoy water sports such as wind surfing, ride a water scooter,
parasail or take a speed boat ride, even water skiing is
possible. The Jomtien Beach has good quality white sand and a
very long coastline to enjoy. The beach is much more peaceful
here than its counterpart of Pattaya further up the coast. The
beaches are always
kept in a pristine condition by the many
vendors who are there to look after all your needs. Along the
early part of the straight beach road you will find many
souvenir shops, international restaurants, food stalls. But at
the far end of the beach road there are very good seafood
restaurants and it is where you can find yourself at times the
only person soaking up the sun. You can also swim late into the
night along a large part of the beach as the sands are floodlit
which makes for a very safe environment to swim after the sun
has gone down. May be you only want to simply find a quiet bar
for any drink of your choosing. Many are available and the
prices have to be seen to be believed. Jomtien beach simply has
it all without having to travel long distances. But if you fancy
a more adventurous evening and want to enjoy a full range of
nightlife activities Pattaya is just a few minutes down the
coast. Transportation around the Pattaya and Jomtien area is
simple. The open pick up cars (Baht buses as they are locally
called) are running all the time. Just hail one down and climb
aboard. Jomtien is one place in the world where a good quality
beach vacation is simplicity itself. How do I know these things
- I live there.
