Visiting Pattaya with a wheelchair (video)
Posted in Pattaya, Cities
Tags: Handicapped, Disabled persons, Pattaya, Wheelchair, mobility scooter, Video
Here on Thailand blog, the question is regularly asked whether Pattaya is also accessible for the disabled, such as people in a wheelchair or a scooter. This video shows that this is certainly possible.
In this video you can see a number of hotels and tourist attractions that are equipped for wheelchair users.
Pattaya is located 140 kilometers southeast of Bangkok, on the coast of the Gulf of Thailand. In the north, against Pattaya is the quieter Naklua with excellent seafood restaurants. In the south is Jomtien with a nicer and wider beach.
Especially the many tourist attractions and the extensive nightlife have put Pattaya on the map. If you want to take a trip, you can travel to the tropical island of Koh Samet. Closer is Koh Larn.

Um a few comments. I know 5 people with a mobile scooter at the condos at beachroad 1 and 2. I use a walker myself and a few with me. Not a problem even in the batbus.
About the beach in jomtien from palm Beach hotel to soi 12 where there is no real beach anymore I want to be brief with the information Of 1 large plastic zooI here nowadays. Just think it's a dirty trick. Fortunately, the complex has three swimming pools. It is salt water at beach road 2 and soon at complex 1 as well. They are now converting the installation.
A few years ago I traveled through Thailand with a friend who is in a wheelchair for 1 month. No problems and everyone was very helpful. Also in pattaya.
Dear people,
For years I drove around in Pataya with a so-called wheelchair as well as with small and larger mobility scooters. This was less easy with the wheelchair than with the mobility scooter. Driving the scooter on the roadway was the easiest. Finding a driveway sometimes gave some problems, but after some searching it worked. In larger stores, no problem at all, except at R. oyal garden, which really caused a lot of problems. This is a somewhat older shopping center and I believe that they do not pay much attention to facilities such as ramps or lifts large enough for a mobility scooter. The so-called disabled toilet is used a lot by staff to smoke or play with a smartphone. I have reported this several times, but there was no improvement, even after years. Driving on the boulevard on the promenade forgot to make exits so that I had to go back a few hundred meters with a scooter and then drive on the street (always very busy there) Improved in Jomtiem boulevard but no exits, placed planters on the promenade in such a way that wheelchair or pram cannot pass. I have also offered the municipal council to give my advice for free in the case of new construction or street renovation, but never heard anything about this. In disabled toilets, very low closets are used, simply bizarre and almost impossible to use. However, I must say that people are very friendly and helpful. If using domestic flights and using a wheelchair or scooter with pneumatic tires I would recommend keeping a pump handy or using solid tires. They are often deflated for safety reasons. and often there is no pump available. Mobility scooters can be rented in JomtienCompex from Gulio Sluis the owner.
