We are going with a family of children 5 and 15 years old to Thailand for the first time. We can’t stop at choosing Pattaya, Phuket or Koh Chang. I want to relax normally, so that the sea is clean and the hotel is normal, at the same time I go on excursions. The reviews about Pattaya are terribly scary - the dirty sea, the streets are generally a nightmare, I generally keep quiet about outright revelry. Is it really so? Please tell me who has been more than once how and where it is better to relax in Thailand in order to get a good impression of the country. Thank you very much!!!

You can combine - for 2-3 days in Pattaya for excursions, then transfer or flight to a normal island :) on the way back day 2 in Bangkok. Farther...

Phuket is purely a beach holiday. Excursions in Phuket do not go to any comparison with the mainland. The only excursion is to the places of the tsunami. Pattaya is discos, restaurants, good excursions, shopping. Beautiful beaches only on the islands. You can combine. Spend part of your vacation in Pattaya, then leave for a few days to Koh Chang or Samet. Get all the pleasures - and beautiful clean beaches, discos, restaurants, good excursions. Farther...
last year we were in Phuket. We liked it very much. We constantly hung out, we were constantly at the sea. We lived in Patong. maybe it’s worth overpaying and going to Phuket? I want to hang out and visit the sea.

I lean more towards Pattaya, but there is practically no sea there .... Is the constant trip to the islands really annoying? Pattaya attracts more on excursions, hanging out too, and it’s cheaper there ... but I also want the sea ... and I also heard that the city itself is very dirty ... I want to get the most out of my vacation ... help!

not so bad in Pattaya. I've lived here for a long time and I don't see anything super bad. Dirty in Pattaya??? Where??? There is a smell from the sewer, yes, but I have not seen dirt or debris in 2 years. Do you want the sea? It's simple. After a difficult excursion, I put the island. It's 40 minutes on a boat, not annoying at all, just a boat trip and relaxing on a gorgeous beach. You can go 2 times. And at the end of the island on Koh Chang. An excellent island for relaxation and not far and n ... Farther...
Together with a friend (both of Balzac age, but still quite energetic) we were going to go to Phuket The Kee resort & spa Patong in August (vacation only at this time) after many days of negotiations with friends (advise different things - who Phuket, who Pattaya), who rested in Thailand and viewing reviews on the Internet. We went to the travel agency, and the familiar manager does not recommend going to Phuket, he says we will be bored there. Tell me what is better to choose, I want to combine a good sea (this is important), vivid impressions and shopping. Tell us about Jomtien beach? Recommend a hotel in Pattaya, good but not very expensive.

You definitely will not be able to combine the sea with impressions. But you can do the following. To go to Pattaya, the hotel is absolutely not important, just to spend the night. From Pattaya, make a tour of the country, gain impressions (and there will be a lot of them if you don’t sit in a hotel, but watch, watch, walk, hang out ...). For this, the hotel needs to be closer to the center. There is NO clean sea in Pattaya ANYWHERE!!! Only impressions from excursions, although it is much steepe ... Farther...

Well, you can go to Phuket just to have your own idea of ​​​​the island. A decent place to stay with its pros and cons. Farther...
