1.Editorial and Informational Content Only
Bangkok Punters publishes independent editorial guides, reviews and opinions based on our founder's first-hand visits, research and readers' reports. Reviews reflect the honest opinion of the writer at the time of the visit; another visitor's experience may be different. Our content is provided for general information and entertainment, and nothing on the site is an offer, a recommendation to act, or a guarantee of any result.
2.Not Professional Advice
Nothing on the site is legal, medical, health, financial, immigration, insurance or travel advice, and no professional relationship is created by reading it. Do not rely on our content as a substitute for advice from a qualified professional about your particular situation. For entry, visa and safety information, check official sources such as the US State Department's Thailand page and the Royal Thai Embassy.
3.Accuracy, Prices and Changes
We work hard to keep our guides accurate and re-check members-only reports regularly, but nightlife in Thailand changes fast. Establishments open, close, change owners, names, staff and prices; rules and enforcement change, sometimes overnight. Prices we quote are indications reported or observed at the time and may differ from what you are charged. Dates on our guides show when they were published or last checked. We do not guarantee that any information is complete, current or error-free, and we are not responsible for any loss caused by relying on it.
If you spot something out of date or wrong, please tell us at editor@bangkokpunters.com. We correct errors promptly. See our Content Removal & Reporting Policy.
4.Thai Law and Your Responsibility
Note: Prostitution is illegal in Thailand, even though it is widely visible. Sexual activity with anyone under 18 is a serious crime in Thailand and under US and other countries' laws that apply abroad. Drugs carry severe penalties, including for small amounts. Pornography, gambling outside licensed establishments, vaping and e-cigarettes, and insulting the monarchy are also illegal.
Our guides describe establishments and practices as they exist so that readers can make informed, lawful and safer decisions; describing something is not encouraging or endorsing it. You are responsible for knowing and obeying the laws of Thailand and of your own country, and for any consequence of your actions.
5.Health and Sexual Health Information
Our sexual health, safety and wellbeing content is general information drawn from public health sources and experience. It is not medical advice and cannot take account of your health. Always consult a doctor or qualified health professional about testing, vaccination, PrEP or PEP, medication, alcohol and any symptoms, and seek urgent medical care if you need it. In Thailand, emergency medical services can be reached on 1669.
6.Establishments, Companions, Advertisers and Other Third Parties
We do not own, operate, manage or control any establishment, hotel, companion, advertiser or website we mention or link to, and we are not their agent. We are not responsible for their services, prices, conduct, safety, hygiene, legality or honesty, or for their websites and privacy practices. A listing, link, map pin or review, positive or negative, is not an endorsement or a guarantee. Any dealings you have with third parties are between you and them.
Sponsored content is paid for by the advertiser and is always labeled "Sponsored". Advertisers are responsible for their own claims. Our reviews are never paid for.
Some links to Agoda are affiliate links: if you book a hotel through one, Agoda may pay us a commission, at no extra cost to you. Hotel rates, availability and photos we show from Agoda come from Agoda and change often; the price on Agoda when you book is the one that applies.
7.Assumption of Risk
Nightlife and travel carry real risks, including scams, theft, drink spiking, overcharging, violence, road accidents, illness, sexually transmitted infections and trouble with the law. You choose where you go, what you do and whom you meet, and you accept those risks. Use your own judgment, stay within the law, keep your belongings and drinks in sight, and consider suitable travel insurance.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS, INJURY, ILLNESS, DAMAGE OR LEGAL CONSEQUENCE ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF OUR CONTENT OR YOUR DEALINGS WITH ANY THIRD PARTY. THE FULL DISCLAIMERS AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY ARE IN OUR TERMS OF SERVICE.
See Sections 14 and 15 of the Terms of Service for the complete disclaimer of warranties and limitation of liability.
8.Changes to This Policy
We may update this General Disclaimer 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.
