Answer 1

If you are talking about party spots, then the 2 places you should go to are Pattaya and Phuket. You can decide your time to spend between the 2 places, though Phuket will have more varieties.

What you can do is to head to Pattaya, you can take a cab or a bus from the airport to go there. It is about 1.5hrs away on the road. Once there, there are plenty of clean budget hotels to stay. Plenty of bars if you stay at the northern end of Pattaya. This will please you much. Budget about US$100 a day for your accommodation and food. Drinks and partying will cost extra.

Once you have enough, head back to Bangkok Airport and take a domestic flight to Phuket. Flight cost is under US$100 each way. In Phuket, take a taxi to Patong Beach area and hunt for your accommodation. Cost will be a bit more than Pattaya. But if you budget about US$100, should be ok for room and meals per day.. Phuket have options of a nice beach hotel to stay and watch party-goers too. So you can relax with more time there.

You need not worry about budget. If you carry your international atm card, you can withdraw money easily and readily anywhere in those places. So take out what you need in small amount to avoid carrying too much on you.
