Welcome Lads.......
I will concur with most of the advice here.... for a first time newbie, I would suggest spending your first nite in BKK so you have something to judge Pattaya against. Bangkok/Pattaya is all about choices and preferences. I live in Pattaya and visit Bangkok on occasion, my preference is beer bars and not the Go-Go's scene. Your choice/preference might be different, but beware of your first nite in BKK. Do not get stupid with your money, the gals have a sixth sense of picking out newbies and will seperate you and your money so quick and in ways you never even thought of. Nana is a shithole now..... but like we all did, you should experience it and judge for yourself. Soi Cowboy is full of better looking gals at the Go-Go's in my opinion, but you should go and establish your own opinions.
I have, and will continue to stay at the Dynasty Inn(Die Nasty) right next to Nana Plaza. Yes it is overpriced, noisy, the rooms need upgrading........ but its all about location for me. I think the one thing most can agree on is the Nana Car Park between 1am and 3am is prime for finding a late nite hookup. Just beware of the many LadyBoys there(unless that is your thing) Big Dogs, Night and Day are premier beer bar venues and afford a good view of the world. Another thing I like about Dynasty is the alley between Nana and the Hotel..... it makes taking multiple gals at a time back to the room easy without having to incur the 500 baht fee for the second participant.
Also do not miss the Beer Garden on Soi 7 for some afternoon/early evening freelancer activity. Wade through the some of the mutts there and you can find a few gems....... and dont be affraid to negotiate there.
All the above being said........... get your asses to Pattaya after your first nite in Bangkok. If you do not like Pattaya then head back to BKK(I doubt you will)
I am not an expert on where to stay in hotels here in Pattaya and maybe others can reccommend. LK Metro area seems to be quite popular for a balance between location, price, and entertainment.
If you lads would like to meet up for a beverage or three, just post on the board as there are always members in town or some of us friendly types that live here willing to show you around town and make sure your pockets are protected.
