Heat is where most visits to Jomtien Sauna & Gym begin. There are two hot rooms: a sauna that the owner calls screaming hot, and a steam room full of warm, wet air. Both sit beside the outdoor pool, so cold water and shade are never far away when you step out.

The two rooms feel quite different. The sauna heats the air itself to a high temperature, and you feel it on your face the moment the door closes. The steam room runs at a lower air temperature but is so full of steam that sweat stays on your skin, so it feels soft at first and then builds. Many guests use both in one visit: a warm-up round in the steam room, a round in the sauna, a cold shower, then finish in the ice bath.

Both rooms also suit the end of a training session: after a workout in the gym, give yourself a few minutes to cool down and drink some water before you go in. A sauna in Pattaya with an ice bath, plunge pools and a large outdoor pool on one site makes an easy half-day: one sauna day pass and a bottle of water are enough for a first visit. Think of it as the heat-and-cold side of a spa day in Jomtien: hot rooms, cold water and a pool, all on a walk-in day pass.

The sauna

The sauna is the hottest room on site and the one regulars come back for. The owner's own description is screaming hot, and guests often say the same in their reviews. That heat is the point, but it also means a first round should be short: go in, sit still, breathe slowly and leave as soon as you feel too hot or light-headed. Leave while it still feels good.

Bring nothing in with you that can overheat, such as a phone, and take off jewellery that gets hot against the skin.

The steam room

The steam room is the gentler of the two rooms to walk into. The air is cooler than in the sauna but heavy with steam, so you start to sweat within a few minutes and the warmth feels close and enveloping. It is a good place to begin a visit, or to rest between sauna rounds if the sharp heat of the sauna is too much for you.

Sit back, breathe through your nose if the steam feels thick, and step out for a cool shower whenever you need one.

General guidance from Harvard Health Publishing is to stay in a sauna for no more than 15 to 20 minutes, to cool down gradually and drink water afterwards, to avoid alcohol before and after, and to skip the sauna when you are unwell. If you are pregnant, have a heart condition or high blood pressure, or take medicines that affect sweating, check with your doctor before you use the hot rooms. Our guide to sauna and ice bath explains how to alternate heat and cold.

Before you go in

The shower rule is on a sign beside the ice bath, and it applies after every hot round.

Sauna and steam room questions

How long should a sauna session be?

For a first visit, start with five to ten minutes and leave as soon as you feel too hot or light-headed. Harvard Health Publishing's general advice is no more than 15 to 20 minutes at a time, a gradual cool-down and plenty of water afterwards. Rest between rounds rather than staying in longer.

What is the difference between the sauna and the steam room?

Both are hot rooms, but they heat you differently. The sauna runs at a much higher air temperature. The steam room is cooler but full of steam, so sweat cannot evaporate and it can feel hotter than the temperature suggests. Most people try both and find a favourite.

What are the benefits of a sauna?

Most people come for how it feels: deep warmth, looser muscles after training and a calmer, slower pace for the rest of the day. Research on regular sauna use, much of it from Finland, is promising but mostly observational, so treat the sauna as a way to unwind rather than a treatment. If you are pregnant, have a heart condition or high blood pressure, or take medicines that affect sweating, check with your doctor first. Our guide to sauna and ice bath covers what studies say.

Where do I cool down after the sauna?

Take a cold shower first: a sign by the ice bath asks every guest to shower before the plunge. Then choose the ice bath, a plunge pool or the outdoor pool, depending on how cold you want to go. The rules are on the ice bath page.

Can I use the sauna after training in the gym?

Yes. The gym is on the same site, so it is an easy next step. Cool down for a few minutes and drink some water before you go in, and keep the round shorter than usual after a hard session. Afterwards, rehydrate with water or a fresh coconut.

How often can I use a sauna?

There is no single right number, and some regulars come several times a week on a 10-day pass or a membership. A long-running study from Finland found that men who used a sauna more often had fewer fatal heart problems, but it shows an association and cannot prove the sauna caused it. Go by how you feel, and check with your doctor if you have a heart condition.
