Sponsor one of the practical guides

Six practical guides on this site carry one sponsor panel each: a labelled block with your name, your link and one line about what you sell, placed next to text we wrote and will not change for you.

As of 13 September 2026, none of the six guides has a sponsor.

The guides

Every guide below carries its own visible verification date and a sources section at the foot of the page. That is what makes a panel next to it worth buying: a reader who checks the date sees we checked it too.

The six guides open for sponsorship: who reads each one, what fits, when it was last verified, and current status

What the sponsor gets

One panel, labelled "Sponsored", on the guide page itself: your name as a link (rel="sponsored") and one factual line about what you sell, about 120 characters, written with us rather than lifted from your marketing copy.

The same words also render in the guide's Markdown mirror — the plain-text twin of the page served at /md<path>.md when a request sends Accept: text/markdown, which is how AI assistants read it. The guide is also named on the site's llms.txt, the index those assistants read first.

The slot is exclusive: one sponsor per guide, nobody else's panel on the same page while yours runs. ฿4,900 per month, three months minimum. Prices as of 13 September 2026.

What it does not buy

  • No change to the guide's own text: the figures, the verdicts and the sources stay exactly as written, sponsor or not.
  • No removal of a competitor's name. If the guide names another provider, it keeps naming them.
  • The label always reads "Sponsored". There is no quieter version of it.
  • We decline a sponsor the guide itself warns against. The currency guide names airport exchange counters as the worst rate in the city, so an airport exchange counter cannot sponsor that guide.
  • The one line says what you sell, not how good it is. No adjectives, no claims we cannot check.

Why these six

Each guide already answers the questions our r/Thailand, r/Bangkok and r/ThailandTourism archive logged most through August and September 2026, and each cites its own count. The entry-rule change of 15 September 2026 alone produced 14 threads and 192 comments in the first week of September, on top of 24 to 34 threads and 788 to 939 comments a month on arrival paperwork generally — both figures are on the entry checklist itself. The apps guide answers 413 comments across 28 threads on SIMs and ride-hailing; the airport guide answers 118 threads and 1,874 comments matching airport-transport keywords; the rent check answers a recurring 40 threads and 519 comments a month naming a rent figure on r/Bangkok. A sponsor panel sits on a page people were already going to read.

How it works

  1. Fill in the form below and tell us which guide you want.
  2. A person replies within 2 working days.
  3. We write the one-line description together, so it says exactly what you sell.
  4. We email an invoice. Nothing is charged automatically.
  5. The panel goes live the day payment clears.
  6. After each month it runs, we send the guide's page-view count for that period — PostHog counts the views; we don't promise a number before it happens.

Frequently asked questions

Which guides can carry a sponsor panel?

6 guides: eSIM and the apps to install, Thai baht: rates, exchange and ATM fees, Bringing medication into Thailand, Entry checklist and rule changes, Bangkok rent check by district, Airport to the city. None of them has a sponsor yet as of 13 September 2026. No other page on the site carries this panel.

What exactly appears in the panel?

A block labelled "Sponsored": your name, linked to your site with rel="sponsored", and one factual line about what you sell, about 120 characters, that we write with you rather than take from your marketing copy. Nothing else on the page changes.

Can any business sponsor any guide?

Only where it fits the guide, and we decline a sponsor the guide itself warns against. The currency guide names airport exchange counters as the worst rate in the city, so an airport exchange counter cannot sponsor that guide. Otherwise, fit follows the "what fits" column below.

How much does it cost, and for how long?

฿4,900 per month, three months minimum, one sponsor per guide at a time. Prices as of 13 September 2026.

What happens after I submit the form?

A person replies within 2 working days. We write the one-line description together, email an invoice, and the panel goes live the day payment clears. After each month it runs, we send the guide's page-view count for that period — PostHog counts the views, and we don't promise a figure before it happens.
