BLACK IN PATTAYA
Pattaya, the honest guide for Black travelers and expats
Where to live (Jomtien, Pratumnak, Naklua), what it really costs, Koh Larn and the beaches, and the Black retirees and remote workers who already call it home.
Why Pattaya works for us
Pattaya is where a lot of Black retirees, remote workers and first-time Thailand visitors actually land: beach living for less than Bangkok, an hour and a half from the airport, and a growing Black community in Jomtien and Pratumnak. This site covers the daytime city: neighborhoods, costs, gyms, food, Koh Larn and the islands.
