Isaanbiker Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 That really depends on how you see the sea. The last thing a grown man would do in Pattaya would be to swim in excrementally diseased water with the chance of a jetski taking your scalp off. If you want to go for a swim in this area go over the hill to Jomtien. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number 6 Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Yes. Pattaya bay is filthy. I think hotels may still have raw sewage lines running into the water. Then, all the jetski, boats and benzene. Plastics, debris. Also a bay with no current. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phantomfiddler Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Yes the seawater off Pattaya AND Jomtien Beaches is filthy. Best to splurge 30 Bht and go to the far side of Koh Lan, where you can actually see your feet while chest deep in the water ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluejets Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Filthy....I was there last week. A good kilometre out to sea was the colour of sh*t. Packed everyone up and went to Sai Kaew beach down towards Sattahip. Beautiful and clean, great food. Baht bus does a run down to near the naval area, was around 30 baht/person.

sikishrory Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 About 5 years ago it was reasonable and lots of people swimming. Now I notice lots of small peices of litter and if you look at the complete beach theres barely any people swimming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guderian Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Three or four years ago the swimming pool I was using for my daily exercise was closed for maintenance. I decided to try swimming in the sea at Jomtien instead, in the 'safe' buoyed-off area by the Night Market. Great, plenty of waves and swell made it more fun than the swimming pool, and I enjoyed it, but after five days of that I developed infections in one ear and a nostril that could only really have come from the dirty sea water. Never again will I swim in the sea in Pattaya or Jomtien. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strangely they put a lot of those " safe' buoyed-off areas" near to the smelly "black water" outflows so no real surprise you got sick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha you must be kidding - the water there was filthy 30 years ago -there has always been raw sewage pumped into that area. When i went there last was over five years ago and a chemist friend of mine from Bangkok analysed the water and his results would frighten <deleted>(pun!!!) out of the WHO!
