IT Party Pattaya

The main chat appeared on 22 July 2023 under the name “IT Meetups Pattaya” — as a way to find your own people in a town full of IT folk but with nowhere for them to gather. Six days later the first meetup took place on Yinyom Beach, and from then on the chat grew along with the community: a rebrand to “IT Parties Pattaya”, two straight years of beach Fridays, and around them separate projects for every need.

Today it’s the way into the ecosystem. People meet and introduce themselves here, look for contractors and partners, ask about visas, banks, housing and doctors, and hear about meetups before anyone else. Everything that grew into a format of its own — the exchange, transfers, mafia, tabletop role-playing games, sport, dance, neighbourhood chats — lives in its own chat, but announcements still come here.

The rules are simple and pinned: introduce yourself when you join, no spam, clear any advertising first, and don’t call other people’s meetups IT Party. The chat is in Russian; English-speaking guests are welcome.
