Esco, whilst Nana not really my cup of tea I agree 100% nothing wrong with Bangkok. My last trip in november I spent the whole time there and never had any thought of going to Pattaya. Had a great time, ok its a bit expensive now with the exchange rate etc but then so is Walking street. People will often say Pattaya so much cheaper but you then often find out they are comparing agogos in NEP and Cowboy not with their like in Walking street as one should but with sweaty beer bars full of at best average looking birds and often right mingers.

Thanks. That saved me a bit of typing.

I don't really worry too much about all this "cost of ST/LT" nonsense. The only things I worry about are what the tart looks like, how she performs and how much I have left in my wallet after the bird fucks off. For those three things, I find that BKK works better for me than Pattaya and I also find that the standard of hotels I prefer are more widely available and better located.

Different strokes for different folks, and all that.

I'll 2nd the Aspen Suites for a hotel. Unless you're terminally lazy. it's not far to Nana and once there you have an assortment of options to get you to Cowboy. I'm a big fan of Bangkok too...admittedly some things can be a bit more expensive, but it is a capital city. A bit of bargaining (coupled with my astonishing good looks !) got me LT prices not too different from comparable burds in Pattaya. As Tom states, as long as your happy with the price / fun ratio the next day then there's no problem. Bangkok gives you more opportunities for variety during the daytime unless you're satisfied with the wake / get pissed / back to bed cycle.
