Phuket to Pattaya

[ruff]

I know there's a airport just outside of pattaya - Having trouble finding the airport code to book a flight from Phuket to Pattaya - are is the possible ? - game plan is to fly from Bangkok to Phuket - Phuket to Pattaya - taxi back to Bangkok - I have 13 days to travel, arriving june 8 - suggestions on Phuket to Pattaya would be appreciated or do i have to go back by way of Bangkok -

Airport is actually U-Tapao IATA code UTP

the itinerary you set out in your post is all doable and makes sense however it is better IMHO to do it in reverse as Phuket is much more relaxing than Patts........you can also stop in at Samui on the some flights between U-Tapao and Phuket (or reverse) if you want to spend a couple of days there too.....but for 13 days that may cramp it up a bit

thanks for the imput - here's my logic - this is my 2nd trip to thailand - 1st time was in 2004 (ten days) - freak'en love Pattaya!!! - 1st time in Phuket - will go there first (Patong) - I all ready know what's waiting for me in pattaya - if I love Phuket - will stay there - if not - on my way to Pattaya -thinking I my bite the bullet (extend my flight $$$$) and stay another week - How great is a vacation when two weeks is a joke on the time needed to enjoy it all!
