Highly recommend this massive big place for Thai Massage, 650 baht for 2 hours or buy book of 10 of discounted price. If you have a big group this is the place to go as they have many staff. There are two now, one in north Pattaya, and one out on Sukumvit road closer to the house. Both are great. Book to ensure no waiting

Pattaya View Point
I discovered this family run restaurant on the back side of Koh Larn island on my 1st trip to Thailand more than 25 years ago. Hire a speed boat 3500 baht - they pick you up from the pier and drop you back off whenever you want and spend the day. Lunch out in the open air, sand on the floor restaurant is always good. The water is warm and clean and the only place near Pattaya I’d go in the water. When you arrive at the island they will help you find chairs and umbrellas , drinks etc….bathrooms available.
Khun Ae or I can help you book the boat and arrange a boat with the owners.
I go here every trip!
