An independent guide to Pattaya nightlife

Where it started

Before Pattaya Vice had a name, it was three friends from different sides of the world who met on a whim on vacation in Pattaya. No plan, no project — just nights out, comparing notes, arguing about which spots were worth the walk, and trading stories long after the trip ended. That group chat was called the Pattaya Gents Club Connoisseurs, and it's still where this whole thing was born.

That's the thing about Pattaya: it's the kind of city that pulls people in from every walk of life and somehow sends them home as friends for life. The biggest adult playground in the world doesn't just hand out good nights — it hands out the kind of friendships you don't find anywhere else. This city gave that group chat its name, and it gave this site its reason.

I'm passionate about Pattaya, full stop. Pattaya Vice is my way of giving something back — an honest, independent guide built to help people find the best of the city and, in a small way, help the city itself keep growing. To those two friends: you're part of why this exists. The name changed. The passion didn't. This one's for you.
