I'm posting under pattaya as i need the opinion of pattaya addicts on whether or not i should bother with the rest of thailand. It's really not about Phuket, as i get the impression that Phuket isn't particularly the place to go for culture.

So if you want culture Bangkok, Chiang Mai Ayuthaya are the places to visit..........you can also find plenty TGs in all of these places in descending order...........best to take a GF to Ayuthaya tho' not much there.........

Pattaya of coursee is a full on mongers town but te beaches are crap........Jomtien + Naklua are much better beaches and places to stay nearby IMHO.....you can go out to nearby islands on a ferry boat which leaves fro te main pier or you can also visit beautiful Kho Samet for a day trip but overnight is better......koh Chang is a couple of hundred Ks away and a boat rip but it is aslo beautiful.......

If you want the best beaches combined with great nightlfe Phuket is the place to go.............it is much more laid back than Patts

I hope that this is the kind of info you are after.......
