Laem Thong

Laem Thong is a local Pattaya-area dive site near Pattaya City, accessible within a short drive. It features shallow coastal slopes and sandy patches typical of sheltered Gulf of Thailand sites. Expect mild to moderate currents, clear tropical water, and a calm environment suitable for beginner to intermediate divers. Marine life commonly includes small reef fishes, fusiliers, parrotfish, toadfish, and occasional moray eels and stingrays around sandy pockets. Entry is straightforward from a beach or small boat, with visibility often ranging from good to moderate. The site serves for practice, shallow exploratory dives, and drift experiences when conditions allow, but is not a deep or high-relief wall site. Nearby access from Pattaya gives quick weekend-diving options and easy logistics.
