"well, BKK can be a little overwhelming for a 1st time visitor"
On my first trip I think I would have jumped on a plane a couple of times before I got to Phuket, but I met some great ppl, and got some good advice. The first night I got there I went into to Nana Plaza to have a drink (was staying in a backpackers round the corner.) I had had about half my first drink when I ran to the toilets puking my guts out at all the "enterainment" around. Next day I met up with a guy I met on the plane and we did the tourist thing for a couple of days, honestly if I didnt met this guy to kick around with I think I would have gone home.
Then I left to Pattaya, and same story, didnt like it at first. Met an ex-seal guy that gave me some good advice, (ie. "ur here, enjoy it; at least they are used to farlangs in Pattaya, speak decent english, and you can meet some westerners to hang out with.") Did just that, met two great english guys, and joined in the fun!
Then I hit Phuket and I literally had one of the greatest times of my life!
If I hadnt of stuck it out I would of missed out!
