Pattaya Secrets Forum-Pattaya Forums

Pattaya Secrets is the 2nd oldest of the main Pattaya Forums and largest in terms of post counts It was started, and run by the consortium of members who own and manage the Secrets Bar and Hotel off Walking Street Pattaya.

Like other bar owned forums it has an (understandable) bias towards it own bar although this means that unbiased opinion for its members is less likely. In the past it has been embroiled in "forum wars" mainly with the now defunct Pattaya-Chat but also, to a lesser degree, with Pattaya Talk. The fight with the former seemed to be personal and with the latter more commercially orientated due to the fact that one of the managers from the bar that owns the Pattaya Talk site left to join the Secrets Bar and Hotel consortium.

Of the main forums this is probably the most overtly sexual, which explains its fairly rapid growth. These include a Couples and Alternative Lifestyles section (for couples, swingers and ladyboy lovers) which seems to be increasingly popular. However before you all rush off to join it please note that it has several different "levels" into which you must be invited as a member - each level basically gets naughtier and naughtier. The aforementioned Couples and Alternative Lifestyles section even requires you to PROVE who you are by showing credit card details (numbers deleted) and passport copy. Somewhat excessive in my view for a chat forum.

It does seem to make a particular play for "newbies" both on the forum and at the hotel. If you are couple looking for fun in Pattaya then this may be the board for you.

It also seems more open minded towards ladyboys than the other boards with the exception of Pattaya Addicts.

It has been accused (though I cannot confirm) that it has been guilty of both editing members posts and, worse still, of making members "Private Messages" available to the administrators. A private message in my view should remain exactly that - private.

One thing that is certain is that it deletes comments made in favour of rival businesses.

Sounds like thaivisa.com

sounds like thaivisa.com lol.. what really astounds me, is that young internet fluent programmers and moderators waste their precious time alive scouring through millions of posts just to make sure someone doesnt advertize himself or the competition.. this is worse than some jealous old lady looking from behind the net curtains at the neoghbors.. what ifind so strange is that people really get so concerned about these things. Im sure such people are not happy, i remember a successful tattoo studio owner in hua hin would take 10 customers a day and if he found out that some other studio had got one small customer he would not be able to stand it and sit there trying to plan a scheme to not only have ten customer but also steal the other one that went to someone else.. some people do not rejoice in other peoples luck, and are so greedy, jealous and petty minded. Anyway if they wish to waste the small time they have alive on this planet editing other peoples posts because of a jealous and protective attitude then that is their loss of life and mental sickness - me, id rather spend time with my family than sit there worrying if someone managed to link to their own website in my forum posts.. sick and petty.. the jealous mind is a suffering mind

Scary stuff

Not sure why they have done this. Any Tom, Dick or Nui can now read all the members posts without even having to sign in let alone sign up.

Dont post your private info or pics on this one guys!

Secret - no longer

Yes, you can see that the bots have full access to the members area. This means bar girls can now read the members area, without signing up!

Danger here

Secrets is a good forum but they have opened up their cache to the Google search engine and membership level posts can now be read in Google without having to log in.
