1. Koh Chang – Don’t stop at only Koh Chang because Koh Mak, Koh Kood and Islands surrounding Koh Chang also have more beautiful beaches and water.
2. Chiang Mai – Try to find hotels outside of the city such as on Hangdong – Samoeng and Samoeng – Sankamphaeng routes because there are better views and hotels along the mentioned route are less expensive than the hotel in the city with the same standard. The true nature of northern Thailand can also be experienced.
3. Phuket – Don’t pay too much attention to sea-view rooms because the limitation in space. The sea could not be seen directly from rooms in most hotels. The tourist should pay more attention to the standard of the hotel and the distance from the beach.
4. Koh Samui – If you have limited fund, the best way to travel to Koh Samui is by speed boat from Lomprayah Catamaran Company. Lomprayah offers less expensive service than taxi for hire and service provided by the hotel directly. Nevertheless, if you have no problem with fund, you should hire a taxi because this would create job for the locals.
5. Andaman Sea – Trang Sea is as beautiful and interesting as nearby provinces such as Krabi. The prominent tourist spots in Andaman Sea are Koh Libong, Koh Hai, etc.
6. Krabi – Although Railay beach in on the mainland, you still have to travel by boat from Ao Nang beach because it is surrounded by mountain and cannot get to by land transportation.
7. Pattaya – North Pattaya beach and Central Pattaya beach have many facilities but the true nature can be found at Koh Lan, which is 7.5 kilometer from Pattaya. You can get there in 45 minutes by regular boat and 15 minutes by speedboat.
8. Hua Hin – Hua Hin is a popular beach that is close to Bangkok but that does not mean that it is the most beautiful. Not far from Hua Hin, Pranburi beach is much quieter and more suitable for relaxation but the transportation may not be as convenience as at Hua Hin.
9. Koh Samet – You should contact travel agency or the hotel in order to find out which pier to get on the boat. Some hotels provide their own service. Don’t trust strangers because you might end up higher price.
10. Bangkok – Jatujak market has products from all over the country e.g. cloths, decoration, house hold items, souvenir, food, pet, etc.

bullscrap that place is awsome.
If you go there during peak season(you didn't give any dates) look to spend 5000 baht per day, like that one guy said. Going there in the off season would definitely save you alot of money on flight and hotels, and give you more money to see to your appetites.
Pattaya is definitely cheaper than Bangkok, women, food and drinks are cheaper. But for the sheer variety of women and atmosphere Bangkok is #1 in my opinion. I tend to get bored in Pattaya after a couple of days.
If it were me, with only 10 days, I would definitely stay in Bangkok. Anywhere on Sukhumvit road is a must, don't bother with anywhere else. I always stay at Nana hotel http://www.nanahotel.co.th/html/index.html directly across the street from THE NANA ENTERTAINMENT PLAZA about 40 bars and 500 girls during peak hours!!!!! Both nana hotel and the nana plaza are on Sukhumvit soi 4. The nana hotel is close to the sky train a ton of restaurants and regular bars, also close to the Siam mall, with an awesome movie theatre inside. Any other sightseeing you want to do is easily and cheaply accessible via the sky train, your bar girl guide will be more than happy to navigate.
Also well worth checking out is Sukhumvit soi 33, which is loaded with massage parlors, and absolutely beautiful girls. My favorite is dream heaven massage, WELL worth a look see! The massage parlor girls are generally nicer girls than the bar girls from my experience. Though you will pay much more about 2500 baht for 2 hours, shower, massage and full service. I generally went to dream heaven during the day and nana plaza at night, I'm getting misty eyed just thinking about it!
Last couple of tips, watch out for the ladyboys, don't get too loaded before you make your evening selection. Most of the ladyboys you can spot right away and some look exactly like women but can't hide their manly voice. I usually hangout with the bar girls and they will tell you who the ladyboys are.
Also watch you pockets around bar closing time, all the bars let out at once and the streets are crowded, perfect set up for pick pockets.
If you do decide to check out Pattaya try the sunbeam hotel http://www.sunbeamhotel.net/ right in the middle of all the action very nice hotel and reasonable prices.
Save your money and don't skimp on your trip!!! If your going to do it do it right!!!!
