Thanks for the recomendation. Is the Marriott and LK Royal Suite ok with bringing girls in? Also, do you recommend going to Phuket? I am going for 2 weeks.

You don't need to spend that much, but you could stay at the Marriot in Bangkok for that amount, I would recommend the Nana Area for a first trip as it puts you right on top of the action in Bangkok.
In Pattaya I would recommend the LK Royal Suite, that amount would get you a luxury room with a Jaccuzi close to the action. Lots of choice in Phuket.

Personally , I don't think 2 weeks is enough time to do Bangkok , Pattaya, and Phuket.
Bangkok has a lot to see , and a lot of nightlife for both girls and ladyboys. Pattaya is a big playground...the beaches are shitty , so choose a hotel with a nice pool for sunning. Such a large variety of sexual opportunity in Pattaya . Phuket has beautiful beaches and a solid nightlife as well, but not as "in your face" as Pattaya.

2 weeks is definitely too short to do all 3 major spots. If this is your first time visit I would suggest spending 6-7 days in Bkk and the remainder in Pattaya. This is assuming your major activity is looking for ladyboys.

Some here say Pattaya has more lbs than Bangkok, but it is more difficult to find them. There are more dedicated lb bars in Bangkok. In Nana Entertainment Plaza there are 4 dedicated lb bars - True Obsessions (formerly Obsessions), Charades (formerly Cascade), Casanova, and Temptations that have around 300+ lbs on staff. Then there is Check In Bar just a couple of blocks away on Sukhumvit Road between Soi 5/7 that has another 40+ lbs, Cockatoo Bar in Soi Cowboy, about 3/4 miles away, and Darkside Bar about 1 mile on Sukhumvit Soi 33, that have another 30-40 lbs.

In Pattaya there is no central zone, so you would spend more time going from place to place. Some guys prefer this, but for a first time visitor - I would say Bangkok is easier.

Thanks for the advice. What is the best way to go from Bangkok to Pattaya? Is it necessary to book a hotel in advance?

[kj312]

Also, is there any good beaches near Bangkok?

Air con bus takes 3 hours .Cheap. Use the eastern bus terminal. You can also haggle a taxi for 1500 - 2000 Batt take the coastal hiway takes about 2 hours.

That's for Pattaya , south of Bangkok is industrial and Tiger Shrimp farms.

Does anybody know where Darkside is? Is it worth stopping by for a beer? It is not on google maps. The website shows it in one of the alleys on soi 33. I tried searching for about a half hour and gave up.
