Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated August 2026

Short version: some links on this site earn us a small commission if you book through them, at no extra cost to you. It never changes what we recommend.

How it works

ThaiExplores participates in affiliate programs, currently including Trip.com (hotels) and Viator (tours and activities), through the Travelpayouts affiliate network. Some booking links on ThaiExplores are affiliate links — labels vary by context ("Check availability," "See all hotels," "Explore Phuket City Tours," "Book experience," "View tour" and similar). When you book through one of them, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.

What this doesn't change

Affiliate relationships do not determine which places we feature or recommend. We don't add a place to this site because it pays a commission, and commission has no bearing on how something is described. Plenty of what's recommended here — temples, viewpoints, walks, markets — has no affiliate link attached at all, and isn't a paid placement of any kind.
