Bangkok Punters Acceptable Use Policy and Community Guidelines

These guidelines apply to everyone who uses the site: visitors, members, people who send us tips, reviews, photos or other material, advertisers, and companions or establishments listed in our directories. They apply to anything you do on the site, send to us, or do using information obtained from the site.

You must not send us, post, upload, advertise or link to content that:

• involves, depicts, sexualizes or refers to a minor (anyone under 18) in any sexual context, including drawn, animated or computer-generated material, or uses age-play language suggesting a person is under 18;
• depicts or describes non-consensual sexual activity, or is intimate imagery of a person shared without their consent (including hidden-camera material and sexually explicit deepfakes);
• promotes, advertises or facilitates human trafficking, forced labor, debt bondage, coercion or the exploitation of any person;
• offers, solicits or arranges any commercial sexual act or any other illegal service, including in the Contact Directory (listings may describe time and companionship only);
• reveals someone's private information without their consent (doxxing), including real names, home addresses, phone numbers, workplaces, immigration status or photographs of an establishment worker or companion who has not agreed to be identified;
• is sexually explicit imagery or nudity of any kind (the site does not publish it);
• attacks or demeans people on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, caste, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability or serious disease, or incites violence;
• threatens, harasses, bullies or intimidates anyone;
• is defamatory, knowingly false or misleading, including fake reviews or reviews written for payment or in exchange for services;
• infringes copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity or other rights;
• promotes illegal drugs, weapons or other illegal goods, or explains how to evade law enforcement; or
• contains malware, spam, chain messages or undisclosed advertising.

You must not:

• use the site or information from it to seek sexual contact with a minor, to exploit anyone, or to commit any crime;
• contact companions or establishments listed on the site in a harassing, threatening or abusive way, or continue contact after being asked to stop;
• impersonate any person, establishment or our staff, or misrepresent your age or identity;
• create multiple accounts to evade a suspension, share your account, or resell access;
• scrape, crawl, copy in bulk or harvest content, listings, prices or contact details, including to train artificial-intelligence models or build a competing product;
• publish, forward or sell members-only content or Contact Directory details to anyone not entitled to see them;
• bypass age checks, paywalls, rate limits or any other access control;
• probe, scan or test the security of the site, access the admin area or any account without authorization, or interfere with the site's operation (security researchers: email us first; we welcome responsible disclosure);
• use the site to send unsolicited commercial messages; or
• encourage or help anyone else to do any of these things.

The people who work in Thailand's nightlife are adults with the right to dignity, privacy and safety. Review establishments and experiences, not individuals' bodies; never identify a worker who has not chosen to be identified; pay what you agreed; accept a refusal; and never pressure anyone. If you see signs that someone may be underage, coerced or trafficked, report it. See our Zero-Tolerance Policy for hotlines.

We decide in our reasonable discretion whether content or conduct breaks these guidelines. Depending on the seriousness, we may:

• edit or remove content, or refuse to publish it;
• warn you, or suspend or permanently terminate your account, without refund for serious or repeated breaches;
• remove a directory listing or end an advertising agreement; and
• preserve evidence and report the matter to NCMEC, law enforcement in the United States, Thailand or elsewhere, or other authorities.

Any content or conduct involving minors, trafficking or non-consensual imagery results in immediate removal, permanent termination and a report to the authorities.

Email editor@bangkokpunters.com with the page address and a short description. Use the subject line "Urgent safety report" for anything involving a minor, trafficking, threats or non-consensual imagery. We act on those immediately upon verification. Other reports are acknowledged within 2 business days. You can report anonymously, but we may not be able to follow up with you. See the Content Removal & Reporting Policy for how we handle reports, and the DMCA & Copyright Policy for copyright complaints.

We may update this Acceptable Use & Community Guidelines from time to time. The date at the top of the page shows when it was last changed. If a change is material, we will give notice before it takes effect (by a notice on the site and, if you have an account, by email to the address on the account) at least 30 days in advance unless the change is required sooner by law or to address a safety or legal risk.

Previous versions are available on request from editor@bangkokpunters.com.

Questions about this policy can be sent to us by email. We reply to every message, normally within two business days.
