I am not a beach person so for me BKK has plenty to keep me amused this 44 days, where as I shun Pty just becse it has nothing else as beach in daytime.
That subject has been discussed recently. There is plenty to do for me during daytime. Only now after over 10 years of coming to Pattaya regularly do I have to venture further away and rent a car with driver for daytrips around Pattaya.
