Pattaya has the worst beaches in all of Thailand. The ONLY thing people come to Pattaya for, is to fuck whores, party, and make porn.
If you are limited on time, fly into Bangkok and head to Phuket as fast as you can. Once in Phuket, rent a car and check out Krabi, Phang Nga Bay, Kao Lak, and surrounding areas.
I hate Bangkok. It's big, smelly, crowded, and dirty. However, it has good shopping, clubs, whores, dining and hotels. The filth, stench and traffic is not worth it for me. But if you're coming for beaches, I wouldn't waste an hour in Bangkok unless you had to.
