Which Thai city do YOU like best?

(pentire @ Sep. 28 2008,06:44) Pattaya.......home to some of most despicable humans walking this planet...

Not for much longer...

....I'm leaving next week..

[Looker]

I like Chiang Rai actually...but since wasn't in the poll I voted for the closest which is Chiang Mai

[Road Runner]

I voted Chiang Mai.

Showed up there with a ladyboy from Bangkok who had never been there before.

Within a couple of days we were invited out to all sorts of places by locals who sort of adopted us.

RR.

I just Love the SkyTrain in BKK

[Ozzie]

I prefer Bangkok usually but also like Pattaya in short stints for the decadence and debauchery. Phuket is great for the beaches and relaxation.

[Masahiko]

Bkk- just get me to any point of entry and I will find my way from there.

Bkk is where all the ladyboys wind up at some point, for surgery, work, dropping their boyfriends off at the airport, etc.

Phuket and Samui are islands, not cities, my fav city is Bangkok. vibrant fun friendly and full of treasure at a reasonable price

[gizmo]

Pattaya!!

[Rebel_ins]

I've only been to Bangkok, Pattaya, and Hua Hin. I would choose Hua Hin because there are more watersports there, but since it's not on the list, I'll choose Bangkok.
Hopefully I'll be out to Phuket next year so I can perhaps switch my choice to that.

Pattaya

Not been to Samui yet (maybe Foggy will encourage my first visit ... hint,hint). But I like all the others.  I particularly enjoy the vibes in Chiang Mai (soft)  ... but I voted Bangkok (hard).

Some guide books say 'only spend a couple of days in BKK' ....  well I've spent months there, on and off, and never tire of the place (or that walk into Obsessions ).  

I'm plucking up the courage (and energy) to spend a whole week in Pattaya ... but you can guess I'm a lightweight  ....  Perhaps I need to talk to Big Tel

(donnnnnny @ Sep. 28 2008,05:31) Phuket and Samui are islands, not cities

Phuket Town is on Phuket,

but most people think of Phuket as Patong

[JaiDee]

well, I was aware both were islands, I've been going to 'em since the 90's...the title should have said which Vacations Destination  in Thailand for the nit-pickers but that seems a bit unwieldy compared to 'city'

 anyway, looks like BKK may be the winner........... no surprise to me as it's one of the best places in the world, but this board seems kind of pattaya-slanted overall when you read the threads.

[elbarto]

voted for chiang mai because for me it is more laid back, cheap,and has just enough nightlife to stop me going insane. I think chiang mai has more of a "thai" feel to it. I do love bkk as well, it's such a vibrant city. Patts is just about sleaze(of which i do indulge occasionally)

Oh. my vote would be Bangkok, just love that City
