Wellness
What could be nicer than to enjoy a relaxing massage after a day of sports activities? You can choose between the traditional Thai massage or the slightly more gentle oil massage.
Should you have a minor mishap while engaging in your preferred sport, or should you simply feel unwell, you can find help in several hospitals of international standard.
The nurturing of the body, including massages, is a very important matter for Thai people. The best known type of massage is the Thai massage, a combination of massage and Yoga.
During a ninety minute session your body will be worked on by hands, feet, elbows and knees and will be twisted in all sorts of ways. Relaxing moments interchange rapidly with less pleasant phases. After a Thai massage it is advisable to rest at least for half an hour.
A more gentle form is the oil massage. Not only will your body relax when you are rubbed with ethereous aromatic oils but your soul, too, will be soothed by gentle hands, so you will feel great and refreshed.
Only five kilometres away you'll find the Spa-Resort "Budsaba", where, as a resident of Silverhill-Residence, you will be pampered at concessionary rates.
At "Butsaba" you can choose from seven different types of massage or combinations thereof:
- Traditional Thai massage

- Herbal massage
- Facial massage

Hospitals

All this at very reasonable prices.

Doctors
For several years now a Swiss general practitioner runs a clinic in Pattaya where he treats minor ailments. There are also many other English-speaking doctors.
Dentists
Dentists of European origin are plentiful and quite often tourists finance their holidays by pocketing the difference in prices charged by a local dentist here and those of their dentist at home.
