The city of Pattaya is mostly known for its on land attractions, but there is more to the city and its surroundings than Walking Street. Below are 5 reasons why fishing in Pattaya can provide an enjoyable experience during a visit or as great recreation for residents.

Gets You Off Of The Land
A fishing outing off the coast of Pattaya gets you off of the land and provides you with a different experience. Its an experience that provides a break from the busy Pattaya streets and beaches.

Calm and Protected Seas
The waters of the Gulf of Thailand are generally calm for the entire year. The area is protected from the seasonal monsoons that affect the Andaman Sea off to the west of Thailand and the waters of the South China that lie just south of the Gulf of Thailand.

Family Activity
Fishing while in Pattaya provides an experience that a whole family can participate in and enjoy. Chartering a boat for a day can easily accommodate even a large family. The day will be spent on the calm waters of the Gulf of Thailand and memories will be created during the entire outing. The adults will find excitement in the possibility of reeling in a large catch and the children will be having a fantastic time helping the adults reel in catches or by having their parents help them reel in their own catches.

Deep Sea Fishing
The experience of deep-sea fishing has its own unique offerings for both the regular and casual angler. Each bite on an expedition is a moment of excitement, especially when that bite is extended by the battle of an angler versus a large fish of the sea. Additionally, the waters off the coast of Pattaya provide a wide variety of game that can be found year round. Anglers in the Gulf of Thailand have a chance at catching a Tiger Shark, mackerel, and even the chance of catching a rare but impressive marlin.

Spearfishing
Spearfishing provides an incredibly diverse experience. The experience mixes scuba diving and fishing. The species of fish open to spearfishing is limited, but the experience immerses you in the environment of your game. Spearfish is considered harder and more difficult than line fishing, but if taken as a whole, the scuba diving allows for exploration of the area and if the task of catching a fish with a spear is taken as a challenge, the experience will be a positive one.
