What the community said
Pattaya was referenced as an option for travelers seeking a busy resort environment with entertainment and nightlife. It is not a calm Da Nang-style base, but it has extensive accommodation, dining and everyday services for a longer stay.

Phuket was mentioned as a destination with enough variety to explore over an extended stay. It is a practical beach base with strong visitor infrastructure; for a 2–3 month stay, choose an area with shops, healthcare and transport rather than focusing only on the beach.

Khao Lak was listed among places travelers had already visited in Thailand. Consider it for a quieter beach-and-nature stay than Phuket; it is more of a resort area than a full-scale coastal city like Da Nang.

Bangkok was also mentioned as a Thai destination to explore. It works for a multi-month base if city infrastructure, transport and varied neighborhoods matter most, but it does not provide Da Nang’s coastal lifestyle.
