Who we are

The honest local guide to Pattaya.

Go To Pattaya is an independent directory built by people who actually live here. We verify every place on the ground, update weekly, and never accept money to rank a venue higher. Just the real Pattaya - clearly mapped.

Our story

Built in Pattaya, for everyone who visits it.

Pattaya is one of the most visited cities in the world - and one of the hardest to navigate honestly. Most "top 10" lists are paid, outdated, or written by people who have never set foot here.

We started Go To Pattaya to fix that. Our editors live across Central Pattaya, Jomtien and Naklua. We eat at the restaurants, take the tours, and sit in the cafés before a single one of them goes on the site.

If a place slips - prices jump, quality drops, it closes - we update it. The guide you read today reflects the Pattaya of this week, not last year.

How we work

Four rules we never break

The standards behind every listing, rating and recommendation on Go To Pattaya.

Verified on the ground

Every venue is visited or re-checked in person by a local editor before it's published.

Updated weekly

Hours, prices and openings change fast here. We re-verify the directory every single week.

No pay-to-play

Rankings can't be bought. Sponsored content is always labelled and never affects a rating.

Written by locals

Editors who live in Pattaya - fluent in the food, the seasons, and the scams to skip.
