The description on travelocity for Pattaya is:

Thailand's liveliest holiday resort - commercial, loud and brash. Most hotels are situated at the far end of the resort away from the busy centre of downtown Pattay, which is exciting but not for the faint hearted! There is a long narrow beach which offers poor bathing. Beautiful beaches and an array of watersports can be found on nearby Coral

We're really not looking for something like Ibiza with p1ssed up Brits vomiting and stumbling around everywhere - can anyone confirm what Pattaya might be like as a destination and recommend a nicer side of Thailand to visit if it is TOO BRASH to a couple wanting a romantic break

thanks saveapenny, you are digging out some interesting stuff though

Boohbah

Thanks for your help Saveapenny, were looking into that possibility know. Thanks again.

saveapenny

I would ring Travelmood they are experienced travel agents in that area and will tell you the best place for you and your budget I havnt a clue on that area which is good and which isnt

AllYourBase

Hi,

I was told pattaya wasn't the best idea if I wanted a quiet/romantic break! Hua Hin looks like a favourite, rainfall is apparantly less bad on the East coast of thailand in may - i'm gonna give myself a day to think about all this before booking, in the meantime can anyone comment on this quote? Does the hotel look good and flight prices seem reasonable, etc? (quoted from travelmood btw)

Its also a Virgin Falgship hotel http://www.virginholidays.co.uk/worldwide/hotels/hua_hin_marriott_resort_and_spa_hua_hincha_am.shtml
the price with them is £1653.00 same holiday

Thanks for that review, it does at least look decent.

I think I might go for that deal (I will sleep on it first!), I can change the outgoing flight for one that departs London at 1230 (Sunday the 7th) and lands in Bangkok at 0605 the following morning at no cost. - I think that might be better, I hate sitting around all day thinking I have to go to the airport later!
