Me, I've lived on KSR and only visited Pattaya a couple of times, one time of which I stayed at a lovely quite resort, called Sea, Sand, Sun (off season) so my choice is naturally biased, I'd spend a week in Pataya rather than one night on KSR!

I think the comparison is a bit off.. KSR is many things, but hardly a destination in itself; people stay there a couple of nights after arriving or while seeing the sights in Bangkok..

I think a more valid comparison would be Pattaya vs Had Rin beach on Ko Pha Ngan.

Cheers,

Chanchao

Spot On Chanchoe, you cannot compare KSR with Pattya for exactly the reasons you mention. KSR is like a Bus Station, people veer off all over LOS from there

...and in pattaya they just "jump on"...

In the past I would have agreed Chanchao but I reckon that nowadays KSR is as much a destinantion as anywhere.

Voted Pattaya for the simple reason it's closer to "Thailand" than what KSR is.

As mentioned in another thread, I think people are treated like dirt in Khaosan. Pattaya is OK in my book, apart from a few guys leering at my girlfriend (no problem now) I had quite a good time there a few weeks ago where as I stayed around Khaosan last week and got pissed off by the attitude of some of the people who work in the area.
