The Pattaya Addicts forum was founded in November 2006. From humble beginnings, it now has over 200,000 members and over 350,000 visits per month (including guests). Since launch, it has grown into Pattaya’s largest online community. No other online Pattaya entity even comes close. The forum concentrates very much on the nightlife aspects of the city, but also covers extensively things like hotel reviews, restaurant reviews, discussion, and advice! Indeed, anything you can possibly think of that is Pattaya or Thailand-related.

About Pattaya, Thailand
Pattaya is located on Thailand’s Eastern Seaboard approximately 120km from the capital Bangkok. Since the completion of the motorways, it is around a one-hour drive from Suvarnabhumi airport and two-hours drive from central Bangkok (subject to traffic). It is the third most popular destination with foreign tourists after Bangkok and Phuket.
Nightlife Zones
Despite the growth in all aspects of tourism in the city, a direct result of efforts by the powers that be, the nightlife remains its biggest single draw. Although bars, clubs, and gogo bars abound throughout the city, Walking Street remains its biggest single draw. Indeed, it is probably the city’s biggest single attraction – period! You will find bars, gogo bars nightclubs, and restaurants dotted all over the city, but the following are the main “zones” especially for foreign tourists and expatriates.
Despite years of (false) rumors of its impending demise, Walking Street remains the core of the city. It will always be with us, although its make-up is in a constant state of flux, especially in recent years. The bright lights, gogo bars, nightclubs, and restaurants attract visitors in their thousands every night.
The first bars and eateries opened around 2005, but it wasn’t until 2012, when there was a big jump in gogo bars opening, that it really took off. Many would argue it has now overtaken Soi 6 as the second most popular nightlife and entertainment zone. This was largely driven by a couple of Walking Street owners seeing the potential and opening large new bars on the Soi. As of 2025, it is home to many gogo bars with more planned it seems.
