I know that the "black sand" is volcanic. the last time I was in Pattaya, the "grey" sand was just filthy. Refuse from the ocean, crap from the construction, and who knows what else.
I have a friend that lives down the road from Pattaya, he says they is no way he would ever put his foot in the water in Pattaya. He told me that if he wanted to go to the beach he would take a ferry to one of the islands, he was to afraid of catching something from the water in Pattaya. Again, just one person opinion.
note to self----book a room with a pool.
