Destination Thailand is an independent travel publication. To keep our guides free and our coverage honest, we use a few funding methods that we want to be completely transparent about.

Affiliate links

Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you click one and book a hotel, tour, transport ticket, or other service, we may earn a small commission — at no extra cost to you. The price you pay is exactly the same whether you use our link or go direct. We only link to services we would genuinely recommend, including partners such as Agoda, Booking.com, 12Go, GetYourGuide and Klook.

Sponsored content and reviews

Occasionally we publish sponsored articles or paid reviews of hotels, cafes, restaurants and other businesses. Whenever an article is sponsored or a stay/meal was provided free of charge, we state this clearly at the top of that article. Payment or a complimentary experience never guarantees a positive review — our opinions remain our own, and we will say so plainly when something falls short.

Our promise

Commercial relationships never dictate our editorial judgement. If a place is overrated, overpriced, or not worth your time, we will tell you — affiliate commission or not. That independence is the entire point of this site.
