GO-KARTS |
|
There are not less than 4 kart tracks in
Pattaya. The one's the author prefers are under Swiss management and the oldest tracks in
Pattaya. Why do we prefer them? Because we find them the most friendly and the less
pretentious. Another reason why we prefer these tracks is that in the direct
neighbourhood, you find 3 other attractions that can be great fun, mostly if you are with
friends.
.
One of the track is 800 meters long, nicely design with water waiting for the clumsy.
Moreover there are a few types of karts to choose from and all of them are very good and
well maintained.
.
.
.
The other one is only 400 meters long and design for beginners and
children over 6 years old. All karts as well maintained and there
are even karts with a passenger seat (!)
.
To find them is easy: just follow the plan and instructions given here under...

an afternoon of fun, |

These 2 tracks are near Soi Theprasit (near the mouth of Soi 17) look for this large sign on your left hand when coming from Jomtien. Less than 100 meters before these tracks you will find an "off-road" track (same owner) and the PAINTBALL PARK as well as the Bungee Jumpee. So if you are with a bunch of friends, here you can spend a whole afternoon of emotions and fun for much less than it would cost you in your own country. |

The
International |
.
The international track is also Soi Thep Prasit and, in fact, just on the opposite site of
the Soi where you will find the Pattaya
Kart Speed way. The track is
perfect, the karts well maintained and there is 3-4 types of karts with different
performances to choose from.
.
What we don't like, is the fact that it looks a little cold and pretentious. What I also
didn't like because I found it dangerous: They allowed a kid to drive a kart while there
were 3 other karts racing together on the same track. The kid was driving at around 25-30
km/h while the adults were driving at a speed over 80.

The
Mini-Siam |
.
This track is part of the "Mini-Siam
park" on Sukhumvit
road (between Naklua and North Pattaya Road, almost in front the Bangkok-Pattaya
Hospital).
.
It is a nice track (design by Michel Gillard a French former champion of Thailand) But in
our opinion the premises lack atmosphere.
