Having stayed in both Pattaya and Jomtien on my previous trip, I found that I much preferred to stay in Jomtien. Whilst the go-go bars are in Pattaya, it is an easy commute from Jomtien, and I find Jomtien much more relaxed. Spending the day at the gay beach in Jomtien was pleasant (with lovely eye candy beach attendants), however Pattaya doesn't have something similar. My next trip I will probably base myself on Jomtien and travel to Pattaya when required.
