Pattaya Forums

As Pattaya has become increasingly popular as a tourist destination, so the number of Pattaya Forums has increased. At the last count, there were over 40 chat forums for visitors and lovers of Pattaya City. The majority of these are little used but some are very popular indeed.

This website gives an insight into the largest, and the best, as they all have a different feel or motivation behind them.

Some such as Pattaya Talk, Pattaya Secrets and Pattaya Live, are owned and run by Pattaya bar or hotel owners, whereas others such as Pattaya Addicts are run by, well Pattaya addicts, and are therefore free of the bias you might expect in a bar owned forum.

Likewise, some are more sex orientated than others, although I would warn that almost ALL do discuss the sex industry in Pattaya in some depth.

Some of the Pattaya Forums are harder hitting and even rather unpleasant places to be. Pattaya-Live for example is notably much less moderated than the others which can lead to some fairly lively debate at time. Pattaya Addicts on the other hand is a flame and abuse free environment. The remainder of the boards tend to be somewhere in-between.

All the Pattaya forums offer various levels of membership - with the bar and sex industry NOT being discussed at entry level. They can therefore be very useful tools for people NOT interested in that side of Pattaya to garner information about hotels, restaurants travel etc. Most forums will offer access to the higher levels once you have been a member for a certain length of time or have made X number of comments on the forum. Again you should note that, in general, the higher level you go into the forum the more excessive and explicit the sex content can be.

Which Pattaya Forum ?

My own personal preferences are as follows but for more in depth information please visit each forum's individual page on this site. This list only covers the "big 5" and more are avilable in the Other Forums section on this site

1. PattayaAddicts.com - the most recent of the "big 4" but already the fastest growing with new members and easily outweighing its larger rivals.
   
   
2. PattayaTalk.com - the largest of the forums. Owned by the owners of the FLB Bar in Walking Street.
   
   
3. Pattaya-Revealed.com - Popular board with small membership but nice private club feel.
   
   
4. PattayaSecrets.com - owned by the owners of the Secrets Bar/Hotel in Walking Street.
   
   
5. Pattaya-Live.com - Rapidly growing and popular forum owned by two local barowners.
