Pattaya Archery Club

The membership page, checked 2026-10-10, lists:

• adult annual club membership at ฿2,000
• Thai partners of fully paid annual members and children under 16 at ฿1,000 per year
• a one-time joining fee of ฿1,000

Every member must also join Pattaya Shooting Park, at a discounted club-member rate of ฿2,500 per year. These are yearly fees, not a day ticket.

Coaching and gear are free for beginners. On your first visit, ask whether you pay anything that day and at what point the shooting-park membership becomes necessary.

SoiDB writes the club's Thai name as พัทยา อาร์เชรี่ คลับ. The club says it was founded in 2006 and coaches beginners free of charge on 4 shooting days.

It is a non-profit club with its own range in Huai Yai, not a tourist attraction with walk-in tickets. Its website is clear that beginner coaching is free and sets out the yearly fees, which helps a parent, hobbyist or long-stay resident decide whether to take up archery.

The club has several coaches who speak different languages and work with beginners and novices. It keeps training bows and arrows, and while you are being coached the gear and the coaching cost nothing. In the club's words, a beginner can "come along, shoot as many arrows as you want, and see if you like shooting a bow".

Shooting is on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday from 10:00 to 12:00. Beginner coaching is on Tuesday and Saturday mornings, or at another time by arrangement.

Coaches are volunteers, so the club asks you to phone first and make sure one will be there.

• Phone first so a coach can be there, especially for a first visit, a child or a coach who speaks your language.
• Ask whether closed shoes are needed and whether a parent must stay with a child.
• Ask whether you can use your own equipment, and when the club and shooting-park memberships become compulsory.
• To compare with other starter activities, see the best for beginners guide; this club is more membership-based than most there.

Still unconfirmed

We found no one-off visitor fee beyond free beginner coaching, no equipment hire price for non-members, no number of lanes or targets, and no cancellation or bad-weather policy for beginner sessions.
