But there's nice golf and beaches in Hua Hin too. In fact, just about every place in Thailand has 'golf and beaches'.

No beaches in Chiang Mai

When I first went to Pattaya in a different life, I thought it was the most amazing place and I had nights there that will stay in my mind forever.

Now, I'm not so keen on the place, but that doesn't deter from the fact that anyone who hasn't visited there will also find it amazing, good or bad.

I'm glad I had my experiences there.........sometimes when I rest my head on my pillow

Before I met my wife, I've been chatting to some girls on internet, too many are very judgmental and just stopped talking to me after I said I work and live in Thailand, one of the girls was a yankee living in Phuket, been chatting to her for a few hrs or so before she found out I've been to Pattaya. She got visibly upset at me and asked why would a normal guy want to go there, I replied and said what is there in Pattaya that Phuket doesn't have? She stopped talking to me after that, LOL.

And, western women all want to know why we no longer want anything to do with them
