Do you know a proper pedicure shop in Pattaya? By 'proper' I mean not only cutting and filing but also thoroughly cleaning the sides of the nail bedding...if you have experience that you know what I mean...

That's funny because I used to have a hard time STOPPING them from doing that. In my experience that is the default expectation. I finally gave up when my regular removed the cuticles while I was napping. Now I just let her do it every time. Really surprised you are having any problem finding this service. In any case, you could go where I go, Dang Salon in the mall building at the S.E. corner of North Pattaya Road and 2nd Road.

an excellent manicure/pedicure that do all you want is in the Avenue - top floor - called 20/20 - not cheap but they know what they are doing - can be very busy and many times need to make an appointment

Not comfortable posting her name, but it's easy. There are two people working there. The more senior Alpha female and a young new pretty girl on staff. The more senior one. Cheers.

The problem here in Asia is that most "nail girls" want to remove the side edges of the big toe nails, making ingrown nails even worse. After enduring this painful procedure for 10 years here in Thailand and Philippines I finally took care of it in Australia with a procedure known as "partial nail excision and chemical matrixectomy done under local anaesthetic". Bloody fantastic. I wish I'd done it years ago. I'd highly recommend it for anyone with ingrown toenail problems.

Agreed, tropo, but I think that's what the OP wanted. I tried to avoid it but once its done I think you are usually OK as long as you KEEP doing it. The better and healthier way without surgery is to just push down the cuticles and clean the area, rather than removal.
