Sunbathing: remains one of the most popular activities in Pattaya. The best beaches are in the Naklua and Jomtien area, though if you just want to sunbathe, Pattaya beach is sufficient for the task. The numerous resorts and hotels in Pattaya also provide excellent swimming pools and sunbathing areas.
Swimming: is possible at Pattaya beach, Jomtien and Naklua, though the latter two are the preferred options, due to the presence of jetskis and motorboats at Pattaya beach. Pollution was an issue at Pattaya beach a number of years ago, though this has now been resolved, and the area is safe for bathing.
Spas: are big business in Thailand, and some of the world’s most luxurious detox treatments are available in Pattaya. The city has dozens of spas, with relaxing environments, and treatments that include traditional Thai massage, foot massage, aromatherapy and skin treatments.

Foot massage can be exquisite or utter torture depending on a number of variables like the practitioner and your state of health (if it hurts it needs fixing). It's worth finding out. You can find foot massage all over town.
Courses: are a popular option for many visitors to Pattaya. Cooking courses in Thai cuisine can be taken at numerous schools, while courses in Thai Massage and sports like Muay Thai are also available.
