“Experience a lakeside oasis near Pattaya featuring an extensive bike and run lane, along with playgrounds and public parks designed for true family relaxation”
Mabprachan Reservoir is a vital water source and serves as a major "green lung" for Pattaya. The surrounding area has been developed into a modern, well-organized public park, with the highlight being the vibrant blue Bike & Run Lane that runs parallel to the water's edge, making it a hub for health enthusiasts.
The standout feature of this location is its tranquil atmosphere, a stark contrast to the bustling Pattaya beach. Along the reservoir, large trees provide ample shade, complemented by benches and spacious playgrounds. The King’s Commemorative Public Park project further enhances the landscape, making it ideal for picnics or evening strolls
As the sun begins to set, the sky over the reservoir transforms into shades of orange and pink, reflecting off the vast water surface to create a breathtaking view. This is the most popular time for visitors to relax or watch the traditional long-boat races, which are typically held annually toward the end of the year.
