Meet Adam Judd: The Voice Behind The Pattaya News
Soi 6 WhistleblowerAdam Judd, the long-time Pattaya Addicts forum administrator, former manager of Soi 6 bar "S*x in the City", and nightlife crawl organizer, now serves as the Chief of Content for The Pattaya News — a platform co-founded by nightlife mogul Bryan Flowers.
