EasyKart in Pattaya
Since the Covid-19 situation has improved, we are finally free to go out for our beloved outdoor activities. Because it’s been 2 years since we’ve enjoyed this freedom, some of us may lack ideas on where we should go for fun after having stayed at home for a very long time.
If you ask us, we’d say go-karting could be a pretty good idea to release your endorphins and get the adrenaline pumping.
In Pattaya, there’s EasyKart, a go-kart track near Bali Hai Pier, where you can race on a 800-metre track with your friends from ~USD12. Plus, it’s only a 2-hour drive from Bangkok. Here are all the deets you’ll need to plan a trip down.

800-metre go kart track with twists and turns
If you consider yourself an adrenaline junkie, go-karting is a pretty extreme sport that – if you’ve never done it before – should try at least once in your life. Trust us, that’s when you’ll know how fun it is to literally be on the fast track.
So basically, EasyKart is an outdoor go-kart stadium situated in Bali Hai Pier in Pattaya, just a 3-minute walk from Pattaya Walking Street. They provide two tracks for visitors: Beginner Track (350 metres) and Racing Track (800 metres). We’d say you should go for the beginner one if you’re new to this activity. The basic option is for those with no experience in go-karting as it doesn’t require lots of skills and is wide enough to avoid any collisions.
But if you’re absolutely sure that you’re a pro driver, don’t hesitate to go for a racing one, which allows you show off your driving skills to the max.
For safety, cast your worries aside as there’ll be equipment to protect you from accidents. Staff onsite will also ensure you’ve got protective gear on before stepping into your go-kart. Also, an instructor will thoroughly guide you through the rules to abide by and basics of driving safely.
Once you’ve worn your gear and mastered the basics of driving, guests will be given the green light to have fun on the race track of choice.
Since the track is a whopping 800-metres long, expect tons of twists and turns along the way, and we’ll bet that your race will be full of fun and excitement for sure.
FYI, if you finish the race in the top three, you’ll get a chance to stand on the award podium with a medal worn around your neck. For those who love clinching medals in sports, we hope you’ll be motivated to break the record and get your name in the ‘Hall of Fame’ on their Facebook page.
At this point, we’re sensing that you can’t wait to see the breakdown of prices. Don’t worry, we’ll cover that next right after you scroll down.
Prices range from ~USD12 to USD30/race
For Beginner Track races, they’ll charge you ฿399 (~USD12) for one race package, according to Easykart.net. Generally, one race takes eight minutes, and you will be driving a kart with a max speed of 35 kilometres/hour.
If one race doesn’t suffice, they also offer a 4-Race Package + a Free T-shirt for ฿1,499 (~USD45) and a 10-Race Package + a Free T-shirt for ฿2,999 (~USD90). So pick a package that will fulfill your needs, and have that urge for an adrenaline rush satisfied.
Of course, if the options above don’t sound exciting to you – thrill-seeking pro drivers we see you – go for a Fast Kart with a 2-Race Package for ฿999 (~USD30). Under this plan, you’ll get to go at max speeds of 70 kilometres/hour, whizzing around the track to your heart’s delight. Besides these packages, do check out EasyKart’s website for more info or other packages that you might find interesting.
An extreme activity for adventuresome freaks
To sum up, this Easykart Pattaya will let you enjoy your outdoor time after the lifting of the long pandemic restrictions. Don’t forget to show this to your friends if you plan to visit Pattaya in the near future, so you might have an idea for something fun to do while you’re away from Bangkok.
The stadium only takes 2-hour drive to get from Bangkok, so you can take a bus ride or drive your personal car if you have one. And after the trip here, you can also share your great experience with us in the comment section.
