Guide to Pattaya Shooting Ranges

Shooting a gun or rifle in a controlled and safe environment is one of the 'out of the ordinary' sports activities that tourists like to try in Thailand.

This guide contains some basic safety information for enthusiasts who like to shoot at targets and the contact details for places to do it legally.

Where's Best for Range Shooting in Pattaya

Never treat a firearm as a toy and always follow these safety rules:

1. Consider all firearms as being "loaded" at all times.
2. DO NOT point the weapon at any target until you're ready to shoot.
3. Keep your finger OFF the trigger until you're ready to take the shot.
4. Before shooting, be sure about the target and your line of fire.

Most of the gun ranges and parks setup for shooting around Thailand allow foreigners to register onsite.

After registering for a gun shooting experience you should be able to choose from several different packages, gun selection (e.g. .22 mm handguns, large calibre .45 inch and 9 mm handguns, and rifles) and quantity of ammunition.

Many of the shooting ranges in Pattaya have outdoor and indoor parks, usually twenty five (25) and fifty (50) metres in length.

Hence, there may be lane electronic target retrieval systems operating on the short lanes. But, the 50-metre ranges provide good scope for firing practice and for handling large calibre weapons to shoot at falling impact targets.
