Phuket or Pattaya?
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.

Pattaya is a city of parties and a convenient starting point for mainland excursions, but the sea is dirty there, you have to go to the islands, if the sea is a priority for you, choose Phuket, if you want to see the country then Pattaya.

In order not to be disappointed by the sea, fly to Phuket. You won’t see a good sea in Pattaya itself, you still have to cruise around the islands. And because of the parties alone, it’s not worth flying to Pattaya, except to see something.

In general, I think that living not in the sea and not being able to swim is terrible. In this sense, Pattaya disappointed me - I did not get enough of the sea and still feel a sense of quiet disappointment. Yes, there are islands - but the path to them is tiring. So what really matters is the priority - spending time on excursions or basking on the white sand. I would choose the latter - it's all subjective.

When traveling to Pattaya, aim for sightseeing and hanging out. You can't get high from the sea there.

I will also express my opinion. I would die of boredom in Phuket. Today we returned from Koh Samui. I definitely won't go there again. The water is dirty, excursions are a miserable semblance of Pattaya, there is nothing to do, there is NO bounty !!!! Phuket in this regard, of course, is much better. We also liked it there. But we were only there for 3 days. In the end, I also wanted to go home - it was boring. There is never a dull moment in Pattaya. But for lovers of only the sea, in this case, you need to do a combined tour: half of the rest of Pattaya, where the hotel is not important, only excursions are important. In between, you can go to the island of Koh Lan, 30 minutes by boat. By the way, the sea there is much cleaner than Koh Samui and Patong in Phuket. In general, in Phuket, I liked the water only on Yanui beach, not far from Rawai. The second half of the holiday book a great hotel on Koh Chang. I have already looked at almost all of Thailand and this island for me personally is the only place where I can feel relaxation, where there is a bounty. Near it there is also Koh Kood. They say it is even better there, because the water on Koh Chang is also not ideal, but cleaner than Koh Samui and Patong. But we will go to Koh Kood only next weekend, and they will not be earlier than in 2 months. This, of course, is my personal, subjective opinion.

I wonder how you get around Thailand, in your car or public transport. Local flights there should not be expensive.

left Pattaya at 18:30. We arrived at the pier, from which there is a ferry to Koh Samui at 7:00 in the morning. An hour and a half by ferry and another 20 minutes by tuk-tuk to the hotel. A flight to Koh Samui would have been 3 times more expensive, which is why the bus was chosen, although it is also not cheap in VIP seats. But 12 hours in an ordinary chair with a child somehow did not want to go. I would not go to Phuket by bus due to the fact that the plane is faster and cheaper than the bus.

Phuket should be more expensive than Pattaya!!! Who is going to die of boredom in Phuket, tell me how pathai clubs differ from phuket clubs? for me, it’s like that in all of Thailand except BKK, in any case, the nightlife smacks of amateur performances, and especially on Woking Street. I do not advise exchanging a good sea for a dubious nightlife. go to phuket!

I wouldn't trade the sea for nightlife either. But I wouldn't trade interesting excursions for stupid lying on the beach either. Go on a combo tour Pattaya - Koh Chang.

I am writing for those who want to go to Thailand for the first time and do not know what to choose. I have been to Pattaya and Phuket. If you compare these two places, then I liked Pattaya much more. DO NOT BELIEVE POSITIVE FEEDBACK vacationers in Phuket!!! And the differences are as follows: 1) Pattaya is more European groomed, clean, many flowers, a beautiful promenade, which cannot be said about Phuket (I traveled around the whole island on a scooter, the situation is the same on all beaches, Karon is more or less decent, but also far from ideal!) 2) the local population is very arrogant and overzealous, the prices are CRAZY for everything, a taxi ride from Patong to Karon is 600 rubles. there and back, and it takes exactly 7 minutes to go, no one is cheaper, their own mafia. . 3) cafes are very different from Patayevsky - these are dirty vipers in which they will take you like in a chic restaurant - on average, dinner will cost 1000 rubles. for two. 4) Bangla Road in Phuket is a pathetic imitation of Walking Street in Pattaya 5) disgusting and smelly streets, constantly rushing with sewage, which in Phuket flows along open sewers, garbage dumps in the alleys, cockroaches everywhere. The only plus of Phuket is excursions to neighboring islands, they are of course SUPER (but Pattaya, taking into account the stay in Bangkok, wins here at times!)

I summarize the above: I do not regret the trip to Phuket at all, because I have long dreamed of visiting Fr. Phi Phi (in the movie "The Beach" by the way, it is completely different, much more beautiful, worse in real life), but the second time there is not a foot. The overall impression was greatly spoiled by the situation in Phuket itself (unreasonably insanely expensive, dirty, shabby island), the Thais there are more like gypsies, completely different than on the continent, very arrogant and unfriendly. If you have extra money and you have already visited Pattaya, you should go solely because of excursions to neighboring islands, otherwise you will have a false negative opinion about Thailand. I am very surprised at the rave reviews about Phuket itself from some vacationers - these are people either for the first time abroad, or a Russian bully who, apart from getting drunk to shit and walking like this along Bangla Road (a night street in Phuket) needs nothing else and there are Phuket has a lot. I liked nature much more in the Pattaya area (not counting the islands near Phuket).

I completely agree with rostov77!!!!!
He was also there and there, I don’t understand the people who were in Phuket, why are you tearing jo.u for him so much.
Phuket is not close to Pattaya
I don’t understand when they compare the sea here and there.
In Pattaya you go by boat for 20-30 minutes to the island and you have super water, which cannot be said about Phuket, we drove 6 beaches along the coast (and it also takes (20-40) minutes, the water is not better, even somewhere much worse .
I would like to tell a lot of things, but there is not enough time and patience to explain to people who, apparently for the first time in their lives, came abroad and it was Phuket, and they give some comments here. I also realized that people have absolutely no taste and understanding of what they want from the rest !!!
