Press kit.
Pattaya Coffee is the independent editorial guide to specialty coffee in Pattaya, Thailand. If you're writing about Pattaya's coffee scene or the Pattaya Authority network, here's what you need.
We are not a listicle.
Issue 01 published thirty research files and zero scorecards. If your story needs a ranked winner, wait for Issue 02 or say plainly that the audit has not happened.
We will not trade placement for coverage, quotes for comps, or early access for favourable copy. The method is the story.

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. Thirty cafes cross-sourced for Issue 01 — sixteen research previews and fourteen verify-first candidates, zero scorecards filed yet. Final ranks arrive after 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.
