We cannot decide where it is better to go in August: Phuket or Pattaya. Pods
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.

Go to Pattaya, vivid impressions and shopping will be provided. And the sea is good - the islands, but this is not a problem, since you are quite energetic. There are a lot of hotels, I would advise where I was myself - Wongamat Privacy Residence & Resort 3 *

On Jamtien, look at all 3 *. They are almost all the same there. Read the reviews.

In Pattaya, you can also see hotels in the center. Beach-islands, Ko Lan. Ferry-40min. $ 1, tuk-tuk on the island $ 1, sunbed with umbrella $ 1-2. For me, the best beach is Samae. I was in Camelot, the reviews are contradictory, but I had no problems in 2 weeks, I liked it / like 3 stars /. Pluses - 10 minutes walk to the pier, everything else is also within walking distance.

From Jomtien to the pier can be reached by tuk-tuk in 10 baht for 15 minutes.

Say hello to your manager. I have never heard more stupidity - there is never a dull moment in Patong!!! This is the same Pattaya, only the streets are called differently =))))))

Yes, the "familiar manager" got cool! Instead of a story about the weather, he intimidated me with boredom.

I was in Pattaya and Phuket, in Phuket the beaches are better and the sea is cleaner, in principle all the beaches and Patong and Karon and Kata are good ... in Pattaya the sea is no longer the same ... In terms of excursion load and pricing policy, both places are approximately the same , and yet I liked it more in Pattaya, I stayed at the Centara Grand Mirage 5 * hotel, an excellent hotel on the seafront, all rooms with sea views, a huge area, many pools, 4 restaurants, and much more. I recommend excursions to Bangkok, and to the Nong Nooch tropical garden, Koh Lan I don’t recommend ..... Sammet or other islands are better .... If you go to Phuket, I advise you to go to the Similan Islands, and Khao Sok

A tourist asked for help in choosing an inexpensive hotel, and you recommend 5 * to her. And the Similans in Phuket are closed in summer.

5* doesn't mean that it's expensive, I bought a tour for a week for two paid 58 thousand. I think it's not expensive

Was in February - March 12 days in Pattaya, Furama Jomtien Beach Hotel. From the whole trip, I was satisfied only with the hotel, really quite good! But a good sea is not about Pattaya, you have to go to the islands, and even there, as they say, it’s far from “ice” :/
I didn’t get any vivid impressions either, I didn’t like the excursions, but this is a subjective opinion, I’m just not interested in the culture and exotics of Asian countries.
As for shopping, it’s also doubtful, there are good shops in the Festival and Mike Shopping Moll, on the streets - forged junk, but many are attracted by prices.

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 steeper than the sea. Then for 4 nights go to Koh Chang to a cool hotel for relaxation. It's not far from Pattaya (3 and a half hours by minivan) and not very expensive. Transfer from the hotel to the hotel and back costs me 1500 baht. Which hotel you choose, but something good is better. For example, my favorite Paradise resort on Klong Prao. On the last day, return to Pattaya, do some shopping (I'll show you where the prices are normal even for brands) and return home with impressions and a tan. If you need to arrange, please contact. I will be at work in Pattaya in August.

In general, how much I read Amir's reviews, I understand that he writes everything correctly, if I had known him before, I would have turned to him, maybe. I would have liked the country more .. Otherwise, I somehow went home, and there is nothing to remember except for Thai food (very tasty!), funny trances, a hotel and a merry song "Pattaya-Pattaya", in fact, there is nothing!
People, do not regard my post as praise and advertising speeches for Amir, but with good advice, I think it will always help! :)
Happy travels!

Thank you Stanka for the kind words. And as for you, everything is not lost yet :) Arrive next time - call. My wife and I will show you everything. We will be glad to meet you.
Regarding Pattaya Park - I agree. Not bad accommodation, not far from the center, the infrastructure is good, there is something to do (probably this is the only hotel where you can have fun: a water park, attractions, an overview ...) And my office is located there :))))

We were just going to Pattaya Park (the hotel was attracted by the infrastructure), but the travel agency did not give confirmation, apparently everything was booked before us.
Amir, thanks for the coordinates, now I know where to look for you! :)))

I want to ask your opinion where it is better to go in the summer, to Thailand or to Spain, in terms of seeing a lot of new things and experiencing the culture? And the sea is such an application, the main impression is that we have enough of our Azov and Black to swim ... And I want to take coordinates?

www.amira.com.ua This is my website, all the coordinates are there. I won’t say for Spain, I haven’t been, I don’t know. And for the impressions of Thailand, I answer with my head - they will. I can tell you exactly about this, sv_k83, because your phrase "And the sea is such an application, the main impression" plays a decisive role in this.
