Pattaya Paintball Park
Pattaya Paintball Park is a recreational paintball venue in Na Jomtien, Sattahip District, Chonburi Province, Thailand, serving residents and visitors to the Pattaya area.
The park offers recreational paintball using rental equipment and outdoor playing areas. It is associated with the former Pattaya Battlefield venue in Pong, Bang Lamung District, which operated as a separate branch until December 2024.
Pattaya Paintball Park continued operating after the closure of Pattaya Battlefield, with the former branch directing customers to the Na Jomtien location.
The park is documented through its official website, tourism listings and firsthand visitor accounts. Its exact opening date and ownership history have not been independently established.

History
[edit]Establishment
[edit]Pattaya Paintball Park developed as a recreational paintball business serving the Pattaya area of Chonburi Province.
The business has operated paintball activities at more than one location, including the Na Jomtien venue and the former Pattaya Battlefield branch in Pong, Bang Lamung District.
The exact establishment date of the business and the opening date of the Na Jomtien venue have not been independently established.
Historical tourism records also describe a venue named Paintball Park Pattaya operating in the Pattaya area during December 2013.
However, that earlier account gives a location on Thepprasit Road Soi 9, rather than the present Na Jomtien address.
Without additional evidence, the 2013 venue should not be assumed to be the same physical field or part of the same continuous business operation.[1]
Operations during the 2020s
[edit]By the early 2020s, Pattaya Paintball Park was operating at Na Jomtien.
The venue was promoted through tourism listings and social media.
A Thai-language visitor account published in 2024 described recreational paintball at Pattaya Paintball Park Najomtien.
The account described several playing areas with obstacles and a staff briefing covering the rules and safety precautions before play.[2]
This provides firsthand evidence of the venue's recreational operations during the period.
Closure of Pattaya Battlefield branch
[edit]Pattaya Battlefield was a separate paintball and BB gun venue associated with the same business.
In November 2024, the operator announced that the Pattaya Battlefield branch would close permanently on 2 December 2024, with its final operating day on 1 December.
The announcement directed customers to continue using Pattaya Paintball Park at the Na Jomtien branch.[3]
This confirms that the two venues were distinct locations and that the Na Jomtien park remained the continuing operation.
The closure announcement did not identify the reasons for closing Pattaya Battlefield.
Location
[edit]Pattaya Paintball Park is located at:
225 Moo 1, Na Jomtien Subdistrict, Sattahip District, Chonburi 20250, Thailand.
The address appears on the operator's official contact page and in independent tourism listings.[4][5]
The venue is located south of central Pattaya, within the wider Pattaya tourism area.
It should not be confused with the former Pattaya Battlefield location in Pong, Bang Lamung District.
Paintball activities
[edit]Recreational paintball
[edit]Pattaya Paintball Park provides recreational paintball games for individuals and groups.
The activity involves players using paintball markers to fire paint-filled projectiles during organised games.
The park is marketed towards beginners, tourists and groups seeking recreational outdoor activities.
Players are not required to be members of a competitive paintball team.
Playing areas
[edit]A 2024 visitor account describes multiple playing areas containing obstacles and bunkers.
These provide cover and allow participants to move between positions during games.[2]
The exact number of fields, dimensions and surface materials have not been independently established.
The available evidence primarily documents recreational paintball rather than a permanent regulation-size tournament speedball field.
Equipment rental
[edit]The park provides rental equipment for recreational participants.
Visitor accounts and the operator's related business materials describe the provision of paintball markers and protective masks.
The exact marker models and equipment specifications used at the Na Jomtien venue have not been independently documented.
Safety briefing
[edit]A 2024 Thai-language visitor account described staff explaining the rules and safety precautions before a game.
The visitor specifically recalled instructions against shooting opponents at very close range.[2]
This account documents safety instructions given during that visit.
It does not establish the park's complete operating procedures or a nationwide regulatory requirement.
Recreational participation
[edit]Beginners
[edit]Pattaya Paintball Park serves people participating in paintball for the first time.
The availability of rental equipment and introductory instructions allows visitors to play without owning a paintball marker.
The park forms part of Thailand's commercial recreational paintball sector.
Group activities
[edit]Recreational paintball is commonly offered to groups of friends, tourists and other organised parties.
Pattaya Paintball Park is promoted as an outdoor activity destination in the Pattaya area.
The available sources do not establish a verified maximum group capacity for the Na Jomtien venue.
Tourism
[edit]The park appears in international tourism and review listings, including Tripadvisor.
These listings identify it as a recreational attraction in Na Chom Thian and provide its location and contact information.[5]
The venue's presence on tourism platforms demonstrates its role in the area's visitor-oriented activity market.
Relationship with Pattaya Battlefield
[edit]Separate locations
[edit]The operator's website lists Pattaya Paintball Park and Pattaya Battlefield separately.
| Venue | Location | Documented status |
|---|---|---|
| Pattaya Paintball Park | Na Jomtien, Sattahip District | Continuing operation after December 2024 |
| Pattaya Battlefield | Pong, Bang Lamung District | Closed permanently in December 2024 |
The two locations were promoted under the same business website and telephone system.
They should not be treated as alternative names for a single field.
Consolidation after 2024
[edit]The closure of Pattaya Battlefield in December 2024 resulted in the operator directing customers to Pattaya Paintball Park at Na Jomtien.
The announcement provides documentary evidence of the relationship between the branches.
It does not establish whether equipment, employees or other assets were transferred from the closed venue.
Relationship with competitive paintball
[edit]Pattaya has hosted several international competitive paintball tournaments, including events associated with the Thailand X Ball League.
However, the available sources do not establish that Pattaya Paintball Park at Na Jomtien hosted those tournaments.
The 2025 TXBL Pattaya competition was held at Jomtien Beach, a separately identified event venue.
Likewise, the presence of a team named Pattaya Battlefield in TXBL results does not demonstrate that Pattaya Paintball Park operated or sponsored the team.
Pattaya Paintball Park is therefore documented primarily as a recreational venue.
Historical significance
[edit]Pattaya Paintball Park provides an example of the continuing commercial recreational paintball industry in Thailand.
Its significance includes:
- Providing rental-based recreational paintball in Chonburi Province
- Serving beginners and visitors to the Pattaya area
- Operating outdoor playing areas with bunkers and obstacles
- Providing introductory safety instructions
- Maintaining a presence in tourism and visitor listings
- Continuing as the operator's Na Jomtien branch following the closure of Pattaya Battlefield in December 2024
The relationship between Pattaya Paintball Park and Pattaya Battlefield is also useful for documenting changes in Thailand's commercial paintball field landscape.
