LaemThong Bay is a popular beach destination that has seen a significant increase in visitor numbers in recent years. The beach is characterized by its sandy shores, which unfortunately have been impacted by littering, particularly plastic waste. Despite this, the beach continues to attract a large number of tourists, many of whom arrive via speed boats.
The bay is not particularly known for its scuba diving opportunities. The water depth ranges between 6 and 9 meters, but visibility is often limited to around 5 meters. This is due to the high volume of jet skis and ferry boats that cross the bay, often heading to destinations such as Pattaya. However, some visitors still enjoy scuba diving in the area, despite the less than ideal conditions.
The beach's natural beauty and recreational opportunities continue to draw in crowds, but visitors should be prepared for the potential slipperiness of the terrain.
Visitor reviews highlight the beach's popularity and fun atmosphere, but express concerns about the cleanliness and overcrowding due to the influx of tourists. Some visitors also appreciate the beach as a scuba diving spot, despite the water clarity being less than ideal. Complaints are mainly about the beach being slippery, the presence of rubbish and plastic, and the high volume of speed boats and jet skis disrupting the tranquility.
Most visitors to LaemThong Bay choose to stay in the bustling city of Pattaya, which offers a wide range of accommodations and is just a short ferry ride away. Alternatively, some opt for the quieter town of Bang Saen, which provides a more relaxed atmosphere with easy access to the beach.
