Pattaya vs Phuket

[Guest]

Headed to LOS and thinking about staying in Phuket the entire time. Spent all my other times in Pattaya and BKK...never been to Phuket. To me it seems to be the same as Pattaya? Opinions??

What time of the year ?, Phuket in rainy season is...well..wet.

My take is that there are more LB and more FUN in Pattaya. But Phuket is definetly more upscale and a better beachs. The girls on Soi Bangla are HOT, but more mercenary than Pattaya. Hard to get a good GFE in Phuket.

But if you have the time, sample both.

Phuket - well Patong Beach anyway is much smaller scale and less in-your-face that Pattaya. Its also more expensive, but the beaches are nicer and I preferred it to Pattaya.

If going from Phuket to Pattaya you can fly into U-Taupo which is a quick easy ride to/from Pattaya.

Or you can flyPhuket-Samui-Utaupo and see two new places.

I think we all know where I stand on the matter...although I'm not a big fan of the tuk-tuk cartel on Phuket. Fuckin' rat bastards is what they are!

It all depends what you really, really want, LB's or nice town & beaches.

LB's: Pattaya hands down. Its swarming with them, i am there now!! So many LB's so little time, as 69Billy would say.

Beaches: Phuket no question.

Why not both? I just like Phuket better than Pattaya because I like the laid back nature. There are also plenty of ladyboys there too if you know where to look.

Spot on...
How much I wished Pattaya had a nice beaches
Been to Pattaya 8-9 times .only 4 times got in to the water and that was just for to piss in it...
But the islans are good...

I can't remeber Pattaya ever having nice beaches, Jomtien used to be OK untill they smothered it in Hotels, even the beaches on the islands are starting to deteriorate.

Ozzie is right, have both go to Phuket & there are plenty of LB's.
