Advertising and Partnerships

There are three. Startup is one sponsored blog post. Business adds a post on X promoting it. Enterprise adds a sidebar ad on every page with a sidebar for 30 days. Current prices are on the Advertise page, and the price confirmed in Jimmy's reply to your inquiry is the one you pay. Every package is labeled Sponsored, and none of them buys a review score or a ranking.

It depends on how quickly the brief and the facts are agreed. Jimmy usually replies to an inquiry within two working days to confirm the package, the price and the brief. He then writes the article in the site's own voice and sends you the draft to check the facts. Once you approve it, the posts go out on the agreed schedule and you get an email with every link.

Jimmy does. Every sponsored article is written in the site's own voice from the brief you send, and you see the draft to check prices, hours and other facts before anything goes live. The article is clearly labeled Sponsored, and it doesn't change, replace or influence the independent review of your establishment, which is written separately.

Yes. Advertising and reviews are kept apart. An establishment that advertises is reviewed exactly like one that doesn't, and an existing review isn't removed, rewritten or softened because you buy a package. If a fact in a review is out of date, such as a price, the hours or the address, report it through a ticket and it gets corrected for anyone, advertiser or not.

Bars, clubs, massage establishments, hotels, restaurants and transport or tour operators in the seven cities we cover: Bangkok, Pattaya, Phuket, Chiang Mai, Krabi, Koh Samui and Hua Hin. We only accept legal businesses, and we may decline an inquiry that doesn't fit our readers. Send the inquiry from the Advertise page with your establishment, its city and the package you want.

On every page with a sidebar, for 30 days: the post pages, the category listings and What's New. On phones and tablets the ad sits below the content instead of beside it. Sidebar ads come with the Enterprise package, link straight to your own site, carry a Sponsored label and are never shown to VIP members, who get the site without ads.
