I don't think most of the posters understand the OP's question. I, for one, agree with enyaw's assessment.

[jdinasia]

strikes me as impossible to answer at all

Phuket in most people's minds = Patong (which is pretty much an awful place after the sun goes down other than being a great place for a Thai Visa pissup)

same with Koh Samui etc etc etc

Isaan? it's the largest region in Thailand not a single place and has virtually zero real nightlife value outside of a couple of places.

Basically the OP should dig out a guidebook and decide what he is interested in .... and then (if appropriate) ask specific questions

Yes I have been there. I do apologise, how dare I have an opinion which differs from yours.

No doubt if we could relocate Soi Cowboy to Chiang Mai that would that help the rating.

To each their own. I see you ranked BKK the highest, no doubt for its cleanliness and lack of pollution.

How did night entertainment venues contribute to your score?

[NanLaew]

Pattaya is best, screw the rest!

Then it would score a zero . . . . . .

Koh Samui - 2

Have to agree. One of the first places i ever went to in Thailand. 2 days was enough. I can't ever see myself going back.

I wish TAT would promote it like that to keep the tosser element at bay

[jackr]

Bangkok ------ 2 - dirty/polluted/overcrowded/too many farangs, rip-offs = litle value for money and friendliness

Koh Samui --- NA

Pattaya ------- 1 - armpit of Muang Thai, although some decent digs

Isaan --------- NA

Phuket -------- 4 - some cracking resorts and beaches but sadly a haven for the undesirable type (although not all )

Chiangmai ---- 10 - for sheer diversity in digs, friendliness, pricing... for the discerning type, 0 for the tosser element

How can you get a true answer?

You might get a sex tourist giving pattaya 10s while someone who is normal a true 5, hehe

Jing Jing !!

Well in your opiinion but i think pattaya is awful, If i lived there it would only be for sex, What other reason is there?

Mind you i dont mind it there, when the wife lets me.

Hang on a minute, dont we all really live in thailand for the sex?
