Dirty Jomtien Beach

Most of the time, and indeed most of the day Jomtien Beach is suitable for swimming in. But often in the morning, and particularly during the high season there's a foamy surface pollution to it that makes it unsuitable for swimming. 

These are tough days for the tourism business in Jomtien with up to 50% downturn in Russian tourists who are the bulk of the business on Jomtien. We suggest now is the right time to start thinking about this issue and plan ahead for the long term.

Jomtien Beach by Pegas Touristik

Pegas Touristik are probably one of the largest tour operators in the Jomtien Beach destination for the inbound Russian market in Thailand. Their coaches can be seen 24/7 during the peak season, and from time to time during low season around the Pattaya and Jomtien area. 

Their video above is a recently posted promotional scene of Jomtien Beach that they published on their Twitter Account. 

It's not bad and we'd like to get to know them even just to say hello.

Unusually good aerial shot of Jomtien Beach, possibly taken by someone parasailing in a speedboat towing a parachute. SAYAMA travel have made an honest promotional video of Jomtien Beach during high season. It's much quieter now but during the peak season it really does look this bright, sunny, hot and popular on Jomtien Beach.

 

SAYAMA Travel also have a Twitter account.

Have You Heard of FlyBoarding?

It's not often we see something so new we have to stop and stare like a five year old, but a couple of months ago we came across Flyboarding for the first time. 

It looks terrific fun and we've yet to have a go but we ran into the nice Russian guys at Flyboard Pattaya last week, who are setting up Русский - Flyboard Pattaya on Jomtien for people who want to have a go.

Make sure you look beach-good if you have a go. 

Everyone stops taking beach Selfies and starts filming whoever is Flyboarding as if they're walking on water or something.
