IS THE SCUBA DIVING THERE ANY GOOD, I MEAN GOOD VIS MAYBE WHALE SHARKS THAT TIME OF THE YEAR, BEST DIVE COMPANYS?
ANY RECOMMENDATIONS ON NEW/OLD BARS/CLUBS WITH HOT BABES?
AND LAST QUESTION, WHAT TIME ARE THE JOINTS CLOSING DOWN NOW?
I HAVE BEEN GOING TO PHUKET THE LAST FEW YEARS AND JUST STARTED
COMING BACK TO PATTAYA AFTER I GOT HIT BY THAT DAMM TSUNAMI IN DEC 04, NOTHING WRONG THERE ITS ALL CLEANED UP, I"VE BEEN BACK SINCE THEN, BUT I NEED MORE EXCITEMENT SO ITS BACK TO PATTAYA!

I think the 6 month tour has fried your brain! Think you need to get it clear first whether you are coming to Patong or going to Pattaya!! The tsunami didn't touch Pattaya.

WHOA!..OK. WHAT I WAS TRYING TO SAY WAS I WAS IN PHUKET DECEMBER 04 FOR THE TSUNAMI, CAME BACK AGAIN TO PHUKET APRIL 05 AND THEN SWITCHED OVER TO PATTAYA LAST OCTOBER, THANKS FOR THE CORRECTION
CAUSE ITS 2300 ABOARD THE SHIP AND I AM A LITTLE BURNED OUT...
I WAS STAYING AT THE SAFARI BEACH HOTEL AROUND THE CORNER FROM BANGLA ROAD AND WE GOT SWAMPED ON THE FIRST DECK BUT I JUST GOT ANOTHER ROOM AND STAYED UNTIL JAN 8TH AND PARTIED ON....
ALRIGHT, LATER SPRING

So where are you going to be in July, Pattaya or Phuket?

Pattaya First, Then Phuket Maybe

Hi Springer - welcome on board.

Diving in July is weather dependant and only day trips are running.Due to storms and rough seas vis at Shark Point and Aneomone reef will be lower.The best dives in low season are along Koh Racha Yai.Wrong time of year for whale sharks.

Bar and club scene is still full on.Bangla closes at 0300 and some clubs go on til 0500.

There are plenty of ladies to go around but it is not a big daytime scene like Pattaya.
