Mabprachan Lake

★ 4.6 (851 reviews) 🏄 Activities 📍 Pong

Rob's take

"The best place near Pattaya to run or cycle without taking your life in your hands — a ten-kilometre lane round the reservoir with the motorbikes kept off it. Go at first light or after five, because there's little shade and the middle of the day is brutal. Bikes and kayaks hire across the road, cafés all along it, and no toilets to speak of."

Mabprachan Lake is a thing to do in Pong, within the greater Pattaya area of Chon Buri, Thailand. It's rated 4.6★ on Google. Open 24 hours.

Map Prachan Reservoir Park is a lakeside park built around a 10 km loop used for walking, running, cycling and rollerblading, with the lane kept clear of motorcycles. Cafes, restaurants and vendors line the road alongside it, bike and kayak hire sit just across the road, and there are two large car parks plus a children's playground. It is open around the clock, and the track is reportedly being extended around the rest of the lake.
