About the Author and Pattaya Unlimited

Hi, I’m Darren, the creator and author of Pattaya Unlimited. I first visited Pattaya in 1999 as a backpacker and fell in love with the place. I only returned home briefly to train for a new career that would allow me to live in Pattaya.

Currently, I’m living an ordinary and fulfilling life in Pattaya with my Thai wife and our two sons.

Over the years, I’ve explored every corner of this city and gained much valuable insider knowledge that I share here on the blog.

I started the blog back in 2009, not so much as a personal journal, but as a resource to help visitors have the best time in Pattaya based on my local knowledge, real-life experience, and love of the city.

Why Pattaya Unlimited?

If you’re expecting to find things to see and do, local beaches, nightlife, advice on where to stay, and tips on getting around, you’ll find all of that here, and a whole lot more.

Pattaya Unlimited goes beyond being a typical visitor guide. You’ll also find articles on Thai culture, everyday life, dating, local customs, spirit worship, and many of the things first-time visitors find interesting, curious, or downright odd.
