Don't forget that this so called 'Bad atmosphere' is one persons (Stickmans) perception of a place and not everyones. I have seen the odd spat in Patong but nothing comparable to some of the places I am sure all BM's could mention they have been to!

Same same. In the time i spended in phuket, most of my night excursion staying in Bangla Rd. i didn´t see even one fight. The people had fun and this is why they are coming to this place. sure they drink and make some noise, but if i don´t like i have to stay in my ressort and take my drinks at the hotel bar.
Comparing to my hometown i went for a very late night dinner with a friend in the center of the city. Entering a turkish restaurants with big windows to the street. i counted four heavy fights, every with groups of 4-8 persons involved, showing their skills in somewhat like martials arts, every time with massive police interventions. This all happend in the time window from entering the restaurant and finishing our meal in 40-50 minutes. the döner meal i had was good and got a good show for about 6 euro´s.
Compared to this bangla seems very quite to me.
I haven´t been in Pattaye but can´t believe that the biggest center of nightlife is more save than phuket!But correct me if i am wrong.
