markf061 Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 How would you rate these places in the categories mentioned, "Value for money", "Friendlieness", "Nightlife", and "Accommodation" Bangkok - Koh Samui - Pattaya - Isaan - Phuket - Chiangmai - Obviously i know so places are gonna vastly outscore others in certain categories, but im just looking for some common ground.Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFD Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 I don't think most of the posters understand the OP's question. I, for one, agree with enyaw's assessment. BFD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdinasia Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackr Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
