Is there any nice beach/island in Pattaya other than Koh Samed? I'm planning to go to two island there, still searching some island around pattaya. I just want a beautiful beach to have sunbathing and some water sports.

Is there any nice rest/clubs/spa in pattaya? clubs/pubs are highly prefer in hotel.

Hi. The only spa that I have experienced in Pattaya is Sabai Spa Chonburi. The staff is very professional. The place is clean and quiet. Average cost for me is about 2400 baht for 2-hour session, but prices varies depending on what you want. I think this & other spas offer discounts for repeated visits, but I never bother carrying these "frequent buyer" cards.

Because Pattaya is very popular with tourists, the beaches/islands can be very crowded. If you like a quieter place, there is Jomtien. It is 2 km south of Pattaya.

Hi,

If you like more people and convenienct facilities Pattaya is fine
but in my openion Samed is more calm with clean water and beach.

One place to recommend you Koh Laan it s the island near Pattaya it's more cleaner than Pattaya beach and many water sport.

The start point is Lam Balihide pier take 45 min price 20 Baht(not sure spelling)
Ko Lan
Lying about 7.5 kilometers off of Pattaya by a 45-minute ferry or 15 minutes by speed boat ride, the island measures 2 kilometers by 5 kilometers and offers several white sandy beaches, notably Hat Ta Waen, Hat Laem Thian and Hat Thong Long, the latter facing coral reefs. Visitors can choose either snorkeling or viewing the coral from glass bottom boats. Ferries to the island leave South Pattaya pier daily from 10.00 a.m. to 6.30 p.m. Cruises by sailing junks, with lunch provided are also available.
