Thinking of visiting the Pattaya Dolphin Show, here’s a selection of photos from the show at the Dolphin World Resort which opened in August 2011. For Pattaya Dolphin World discount entry tickets, just scroll down the page for more information.
For directions to Pattaya Dolphin World just click on the “location link” at the bottom of this post.
The dolphinarium at Pattaya Dolphin World has tiered concrete seating, is roofed, sheltered from the sun and cooled by fans. Commentary during the show is in both Thai and English.
The dolphin show lasts about 1 hour, food and drink is available on site. The Pattaya Dolphin World brochure claims many more activities are on site, including BB gun, Airsoft gun, Children’s playground, Fishing park and water park.
The show itself was quite entertaining, it’s just a shame about the double pricing, most of the Pattaya tourist attractions adopt the double pricing policy for tourists, but sometimes double isn’t double, it’s just a higher rate. At Pattaya Dolphin World Resort the rate is actually more than double, that’s a lot of money for a family to spend on 1 hours entertainment.
Many dolphin shows and dolphinariums claim that the dolphins used in their show are rescued dolphins, usually after the dolphin supposedly collided with a boat or becoming entangled in fishing nets.
Animal shows, for better or for worse are becoming a popular sideline at many of the Pattaya tourist attractions, at Nong Nooch they feature an elephant show, the Tiger Zoo has a tiger show, the Crocodile Farm has a crocodile show.
It is said that the dolphin which played the role of “Flipper” in the popular 1970’s T.V. series actually committed suicide because it became so depressed by life in captivity. That’s something to think about!
