One-line description

Pattaya Coffee is the independent editorial guide to specialty coffee in Pattaya, Thailand — anonymous customers, paid bills, no sponsored placements.

One-paragraph description

Pattaya Coffee is the inaugural independent editorial guide to specialty and independent coffee in Pattaya, Thailand. Twenty-nine cafes cross-sourced for the launch issue; the Pattaya Coffee 30 ranking is produced by anonymous visits, paid-for cups, and a four-dimension rating system covering craft, consistency, value, and return frequency. Part of the Pattaya Authority editorial network. No paid placements, no affiliate links, no sponsored content.

What we will and won't talk about

Happy to discuss: the editorial method, what's growing in the Pattaya specialty coffee scene, the role of Thai single-origin beans, the DTV-driven digital nomad effect on local cafe demand, the absence of international specialty press coverage of Pattaya to date, comparisons to Bangkok and Chiang Mai scenes.

Won't discuss: ranking outcomes before publication, individual cafe owners' personal details, anything that compromises ongoing anonymous audits, comparative ratings against named non-Pattaya cafes.
