RACING AREA Thailand is a great place to sail. The award winning marina in Pattaya is top quality, not reliant on tides, and racing is within sight of the marina. It is hot and sunny almost every day of the year with a water temperature of 28 degrees C year round. Pattaya is a most modern city and has superb beaches, shopping and nightlife. Fun for all the family amongst friendly locals and a low cost of living. Able to combine racing with a great family holiday
