But my tastes are different to most (I like peace and quiet, away from it all, while everyone else I know loves Pattaya?!?!?!)

Thank you..... I enjoy a boutique hotel and meal at a steak house on Suk Soi 33 but that is as far as we get.... going to Pattaya.... you couldn't pay me to go there. Went there one time, lasted one night and we went to Chonburi, and the way Pattaya is, well that's one of the reasons I dislike Phuket. Since we spend so much time up country... and not wanting to go up country.... looking for something a little different then our norm. So hard to put into words I guess and all my searches are coming up with the typical tourist crap.
Even Krabi is a little too much disco / night / party. We can always do that in BKK when we want to, no need to travel for it on our time off.
