ace Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 Happy new year in advance! I'm hanging around Pattya for a while and have on my to do list to learn to windsurf (I can sail) & to improve my extremely basic Thai. Can any local experts advise on good places to take up these diverse pastimes? Pattya or Wongmat preferable. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hughden Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 Can't help you with the Thai; but if you want to learn to windsurf then Amara Windsurfing on Dongtan beach is the place to go (next to Pattaya Park). There is a map on their web site http://www.windsurfing-thailand.com/ They have good instructors, the latest equipment, and it is a very friendly club where you will be welcomed. It's a good time of year to learn 'cos the sea is relatively flat and there is usually a good wind. Be warned, it's addictive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I've been here 7 years and I still can't speak Thai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great stuff - I'm heading down there today, hope it's not closed like rest of Pattya! I bet it's addictive, first time I got out on the water in a sailboat (Laser) , I was out for 5 hours - nearly got hypothermia (back in UK) - but just didn't want to stop.
