chonabot Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Bearing in mind the thread and existence of Jet ski scams I was wondering about the humble banana boat rides in the same location. My son is bugging me to let him go on a Banana boat ride today - daft question I guess but as these are run by the same people who do the jet ski's - is there any issue with us using this service? I'm pretty sure it's impossible to be scammed for 'damaging' an inflatable tube - but you never know - especially as you would not be controlling it. But TIT and you never know. Also has anyone tried the go karting in Jomtien ( Teppasit road ) ? We looked at the place near Bali Hai pier and the prices were fairly steep - 1300 baht pp. The other place is a lot cheaper - has anyone been there recently?

craigt3365 Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 The faster ones are REALLY fast. I'd recommend spending a few extra baht and get one. Quite a few high-so Thais show up also with their custom carts. Quite fun to watch. Don't forget the paintball course across the road. Also great fun.

TheWalkingMan Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 If you have not driven a go kart for awhile or never, I recommend starting off with the lower powered one to get a feel for the track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raro Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 If you have not driven a go kart for awhile or never, I recommend starting off with the lower powered one to get a feel for the track.just go for it. Worst case scenario is a crash in the tire wall and bruised ribs. Watch out for the lake, been in there twice... sent from my Android phone 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
