longstebe Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Hua Hin was poo I thought. Reminded me of Southport beach. But I do like a nice small tight butt. I also like a nice cold bottle of beer Chang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qwertz Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Phuket sucks, it's overpriced, shabby and the locals are all out to rook the tourists Pattaya is no worse than Phuket, just bigger, and at least the prices are right. If you don't need the beach life head north towards Chiang Mai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bungy007 Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Koh Samet... Rawai beach, Phuket Island Laem Sing beach, Phuket Island Koh Larn beach, Pattaya Koh Samui beach Koh Chang beach Your choice... None are bad. None are better than the other. I agree - just watch your bum for barnacles. i.e. if you're in Phukett stay away from the Aussie bar if you're in Pattaya keep your hand on your ha'penny or the lady boys will have a field day. I suggest Mai Pim or Dolphin Bay if you want to really get away from the crowds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khunjake Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Phuket: Beautiful, The best by Far. A bit pricey but worth it. Not as many losers/dropouts around. Pattaya: A complete dump, overrun by Ruskies, BGs, LadyBoys, old war vets that never left the 70s. HuaHin: Mediocre Beaches with horseshit everywhere, loads of Scans/Norwegies/Danes, ugly BGs, lame bars. Cha-am: Localized mostly for Thais, Farang generally not well liked here, rooms are cheap but very nasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EASYDOGG Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Phuket has it all, but life there costs more. Yes Phuket has it all-inflated prices, prostitutes in abundance, sex tourists in abundance (although numbers are down right now), farang tasting food (not authentic Thai) and expensive taxis. Avoid at your peril.......... Head north mate............ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reallyok Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Can any one of you tell me I am shortly visiting Thailand What do you think is better option to visit in Thailand Phukhet Island or Pattaya Beach?? Well, unless you are going for sex and nothing else, i suggest you spend one night at Pattaya and then get the first flight out to Phuket. Your question Pattaya beach or Phuket island. The beach at Pattaya consists of a coarse gritty sand something like the 'deco' that plumbers put in their drainage trenches! Visitors prefer to use the hotel swimming pools. Pattaya is on the Gulf of Thailand which is virtually an inland sea and at Pattaya the sewerage is pumped straight in, so if you are a "darkie" diver.............good luck. Apart from those sleezy night bars full of prostitutes there is really nothing else to see or do. Phuket is on the beautiful Andaman Coast the beaches are of lovely fine sand and there is lots to do and see on the island, also it is within a short distance of Phi Phi island and Krabi. Some really good day tours to be had. There are plenty of nice restaurants and Bang La road has tons of bars like Pattaya and in my opinion, the girls of Southern Thailand are much nicer than the farm girls from Issaan which populate the bars of Pattaya. Patong beach is quite nice and i recommend the Seaview Hotel at the quiet end of Patong beach. Incidentially i am a Samui lover and Cheong Mon is my beach. Enjoy Thailand , it is definately not fcuked, its big beautiful and can be very exciting, just move around if you have the time. Good luck...............

M8FYU Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Phuket and Pattaya? Neither! Who are these people that are advising you to head here? Both areas are heavily populated by sleazy westerners who seem to head there in their droves looking for cheap sex. If thats your MO then you probably want to head to Phuket. Choose somewhere else and experience the real Thailand and real Thai people. I would suggest heading north. Chang Mai is a really good place to start.

JiveTalker Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 My opinion... Phuket. Patong is a dump but most of the rest of the island is stunning. Head to the north of the island for some of the most beautiful desterted beaches. Avoid the westernized areas and you'll find it not too expensive and have a great time. Pattaya is fun, great nightlife. Krabi aslo has some beautiful beaches and the local islands are stunning. Hua Hin and Cha Am I found a little strange, not really sure what they wanted to be. Koh Samui again has great beaches but is getting completely over developed these days. There are still a few nice areas though. North of Thailand - Chiang Mai is ok for a visit I guess - obviously no beaches and fairly unispiring nightlife. Chiang Rai and Pai are better. For a real Thailand experience avoid all these places and head somewhere like Khon Ken, Naknon Sri Thammarat or Looi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't need the beach life head north towards Chiang Mai Yes I agree with that, Phuket is very beautiful (still), but expensive. In Pattaya you are only 2 hours away from Bangkok and airport. In the end it is completely up to you what kind of lifestyle you are looking for, as we all all different. Best to go to all the places and stay maybe a month or so and then make up your mind.

kitiya1980 Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 OK if want to get laid can go both Phuket or Pattaya but if want to swim too but not far from Pattaya and BKK I suggest u to go Samed Island "sai kaew" beach wee bit quiet coz stuffs there are kinda expensive but if u have plenty of time just go to Phuket ah please don't be surprised when u get there ud be thinking ur in somewhere in EU coz it's the most popular place FOR TOURIST ! incase u don't kno this movie "The beach" filmed in Phuket anyways enjoy ur trip don't get wet err i meant june-otc rainy season.

bolognamare Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 (edited) Goto Vietnam or Cambodia, better value for money less chance of problems. In the last 5 years i've been (Bangkok apart) only in Phuket, Patong and beaches around (Kata is magic) are simply wonderful, and in july-august i've always found a good weather (always sunny, without need of aircon). Very beautiful thai females are less available in august because there are too many tourists that look for them like gold finders. And it's quite cheap if u go to bungalow (a lot of good ones for 500baht/day), you can have a good meal with 2-300 baht, 500 baht for seafood. You can rent a scooter for 150-200 baht/day (i love to drive across Phuket, all beahes are 15-20 minutes far from each other), remember the drive licence! I'm thinking to spend 1-3 days in Pattaya this time first to go in Phuket ONLY to choose the right girl(s) that can follow me in Patong, i prefer a single girlfriend than changing everyday. I have longly evaluated to start with Cambodia beaches (Airasia tickets to Phnom Pen are really cheap now) but i'm not sure about this choice, do you have beaches/girls/nightlife photos to post?

"The Beach" was filmed in Koh Pee Pee Li. Koh Samet is nice, but Phuket has some nicer beaches, not all, some. Anyway this seems to be a troll thread. And thanks to all the contradicting recommendations here serious observers are now more confused than before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

britmaveric Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Phuket for beaches and Pattaya for everything else - mind you take a speed boat to Koh Larn and that is good enough. I'm sure most people after a few days of beach had enough.... then again might be me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJP Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Koh Samui Weston-super-Mare I'd go for that but only when the tide is in!! hah hah hah Other attractions include: The burnt out remains of the Grand Pier. See attached a glorious sight. Joining in knocking old people over for their pension, specialist instruction by resident smack heads. Chips. Woolworths . . . oh wait . . . Boy racers with cars that sound like tractors and speak "Ouim shaarrrpenin' moi petchfarck!" Donkey rides. How anyone would even consider Koh Pi Pi over WSM I have no idea?

There was one of those holiday swap progs on in the UK where families take each other on hols. The poor family from Bristol always took the bus to WSM for a day . . . tear jerking sadness . . . whilst the family from Epsom went to BKK etc. It was hilarious!

Bjorn Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Don't visit any of the two, but if you have decided to go to one of them, choose Phuket. You should avoid Pattaya by all means!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfinglife Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 If you want to play golf, definitely Pattaya!! Golf in Phuket is 4-5 times more expensive. Also if you are into sailing, Pattaya is better (very little wind in Phuket, and if it blows it's during monsoons so it's very wet). I live in Pattaya but travel to Phuket whenever I feel like a bit of surfing (May - Sep) and can't be bothered flying to Bali to catch a wave.
