i think JJ is best suited to answer about living on phuket,but as for day to day expenses,i think not much different from bangkok.
beer during the day can be got for 40bt,a bit more when the sun sets and normally 100bt in a go-go.
girls will go 1000bt L/T,but i normally give them more.
as a resort,it may be more expensive for souvenirs,but then again i always show the girl what i wnt and they go back later and buy what i want.
and they pay the thai price.

Don here are some of my stays. I am a budget traveller and stay at hotels 1000 baht and below... All have hot water, blasting cold aircon, clean bedding and towels and cable tv (cnn, hbo etc.) and all are guest friendly but usually must leave ID. This is for your protection and you should not give them any beef with that...
Nana Hotel
I cannot stress enough that on your first trip to Bangkok you MUST stay at the NANA hotel. Nice way to really immerse your self in the scene. 1070 baht but if you go to nanatours.com I think you can get it for 900 baht inclusive of the breakfast buffett which is really good considering. I would not hit the buffett after 8am though because that stuff sits out. Go early (6am is my standard) and what a treat, you may not have to eat again that day maybe a snack in the evening. Angels disco chock full of freelancers in the lobby and girls in the lobby pretty much at all hours though have never partaken of the girls in the lobby. Make your reservation WELL in advance as they are usually booked. I can walk up now because I know one senior staff member there.
Other places in Bangkok.
Promenade hotel. Sukhmvit Soi 8 about 50 yards in. Nice hotel better bang for the buck than Nana. 900 baht low season but if you are a bargain hunter you can say "nanapong" member and go for 800. You must stand your ground but they may not go for it. King size bed (essential for all my hotel stays) and you should always ask for this at all your hotels as they may give you two twin and you will have to push them together 
Crown hotel
Decent size hotel between sois 6 and 8 with a long alley extending to soi Nana. Nice place 640 baht. They will try 700. I went 600 on them and they were gonna let me walk then they came with the 640 it is supposed to be and I stayed for 3 days. Nice hotel the little hunchback maid is funny to talk with on the second floor...
Business inn
I usually use this hotel in transit on my first and last days in the kingdom. 600 baht but I counter with 500 and they give me a room with no window. Fine for me. Cable tv but the tv is 13 inch or so. Nice aircon in all the hotels mentioned.
Pattaya
I stayed at the Haven on soin13. 850 baht at the time (1year ago). The nice touches are the black tiled bathroom and the size of the bathroom. You can fit 4 girls in the shower. (who cares if there is room for you *L*) The includedVCD player comes in handy for CD's and naughty VCD's you can buy to spice up the moment. Find normal movies also with Thai subtitles and watch them with your newfound love(s).
Sunshine Hotel
Soi 8. Cheaper hotel for 500 baht walk up if you stay at least 4 nights. Pay in advance. Nice pools (2) and 1 smaller one all situated near each other. New wing 750 baht but my cheap ass never tried that side. Right in the middle of the action. Leaving the hotel at 9pm on soi 8 and heading to beach road is an adventure in and of itself. Just try getting by those beer bars at that time. You may never see any more of Pattaya if you do. I always leave soi 8 ladies for my last night or two. You don't need to see the butterfly sign when you find a woman in a gogo or something and have to troop her past a previous soi 8 encounter.
The only thing to be mindful of is the minibar bill. They will try to add on the standard 30 baht. I am good with numbers being an underpaid accountant *LOL* and add the bill before they can use a calculator and it has been consistently 30 baht over. I guess that is the rule. Am I going to argue over 75 cents. No but I bring it to their atttention so I know they know they are not as slick as they think. Here is a hint, I can never do this consistently but you should clean out the fridge and stock it with all your favorite 7-11 items. Thats being real cheap on your part but the prices are really marked up on the hotels part so up to you...
Another point. Always use the safe in room (Haven, Promenade) or the safe downstairs (Nana, Business, Sunshine) 95% of the girls are honest. But don't forget 1000 baht is a shitload of money for them especially if no work has to be done for it. Don't sour your vacation and let someone steal from you. This includes hotel staff, at the Haven they clipped me for 1k baht when I left the safe open for a day. They graciously left my passport and tix home...
Hope that helped.

I love the Raumchitt Plaza. I've maybe put a hundred miles on the elevator runnin the girls up from Thermae Cafe in the basement. For around 1000 baht per night you get everything, and aside from the registering of the girl at the desk,( a necessary inconvience) the staff are very farang friendly. Harry the Tailor has built two suits for me, which continue to receive raves whenever I put them on, and during my second visit, I neglected to register a short time and fell asleep and releived of my passport, credit cards, camera, prescription sunglasses, cash etc. The hotel allowed me to stay, endured the detectives who had to come for me to get a new passport, and dealt with the endless string of back and forth phone calls from america bank to obtain emergency cash. I love this place. In January, a very drunk short time girl became enraged,( I known her all of an hr.) when I showered her friend, instead of her with attention. She threw an empth beer bottle the length of the hall outside the room where I'd thrown her purse after she demanded way more baht than originally agreed upon, nailing me square on the top of my foot. The staff were very good about first aid, and cleaning up all the blood. Raumchitt Plaza, short time around 400.00 for three hrs if they have rooms, excellent for marathon runs from Thermae. Anyone up for a contest when I come Oct 17th? How many in one hr.,2 hrs., Hey BK what do you think of this as an adjunct to the RT????, Maybe insist on medical clearance and certification of fitness as requirement eh??
I'll stay at the Nana, and probably get a short time room at the Raumchitt, so if anyones up for funnin around, write in and we'll set up a mtg. Compai!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I found Grand President a very good location. Soi 7 Beer Garden very close by going through the carpark of the Park Hotel. Nana BTS very close and Nana and Soi Cowboy fairly closeby.

Hi Dave,
Yes I am afraid that this collective insanity is now spreading to me. It is absolute madness to be thinking of returning to where 90 degrees is the norm, but where else does your ego get such a boost from these wonderfully friendly ladies.

Still think the Federal on Soi 11 is a fine choice...close to the action - Nana, Cowboy, Thermae, Soi 7 (and a nice little bar next door but a little pricey) but no problem at all taking the ladies back.
