Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: March 2026
Go2Thailand.com is an independent travel guide. To keep this site free for readers, we participate in affiliate programmes. This page explains exactly how that works, which partners are involved, and what it means for you.
How We Earn
Some links on Go2Thailand.com are affiliate links. When you click one of these links and complete a purchase or booking, we may earn a small commission — at no extra cost to you. The price you pay is identical to what you would pay by visiting the partner directly.
We currently participate in affiliate programmes from the following partners:
- —Booking.com — hotel and accommodation bookings
- —Klook — tours, activities, and day trips
- —GetYourGuide — tours and experiences
- —Viator — tours and activities
- —Trip.com — flights, hotels, and transport
- —12Go Asia — buses, trains, ferries, and transfers
- —Saily — eSIM data plans for travellers
- —NordVPN — VPN service for secure internet access abroad
- —SafetyWing — travel medical insurance and nomad insurance
- —Amazon — travel gear and accessories
This disclosure complies with the FTC's guidelines on endorsements and testimonials, and with applicable consumer protection regulations in other jurisdictions.
Our Promise
Earning commissions does not change what we write or recommend. We hold ourselves to the following standards without exception:
- ✓Commissions never influence our recommendations. We recommend hotels, tours, and services based on quality and relevance to the reader, not commission rates.
- ✓We recommend products and services we genuinely believe in. If we would not use something ourselves, we do not promote it.
- ✓Negative findings are published honestly. If a destination, hotel, or service has real drawbacks, we say so — regardless of whether we have an affiliate relationship.
- ✓We clearly mark affiliate links. Where practical, affiliate links are identified so you always know when a click may generate a commission.
- ✓We research and vet before recommending. Affiliate partners are selected based on traveller feedback, industry reputation, and our own assessment of their service quality.
Which Links Are Affiliate Links?
Affiliate tracking may be present on the following types of links across the site:
- —Hotel booking links — "Book now" or "Check availability" buttons on city pages, top-10-hotels pages, and destination guides
- —Tour and activity links — links to cooking classes, elephant sanctuaries, diving trips, Muay Thai experiences, and other activities
- —Transport booking links — bus, train, ferry, and transfer bookings via 12Go Asia or Trip.com
- —Travel insurance links — links to SafetyWing plans on our travel insurance pages
- —eSIM links — links to Saily on our SIM card and connectivity guides
- —VPN links — links to NordVPN on our travel security and digital nomad pages
- —Travel gear links — product links to Amazon on our packing and gear guides
Links to external sources cited for factual purposes (government websites, official tourism boards, news articles) are never affiliate links.
How This Supports Us
Producing accurate, regularly updated travel content requires ongoing research, writing, and technical work. Affiliate commissions are the primary way we cover these costs while keeping Go2Thailand.com free to use and largely free of intrusive advertising.
When you book through one of our links, you directly support the continued development of this site at no additional cost to yourself. We appreciate it, and we take that responsibility seriously by maintaining the editorial independence described above.
