How we make money
Pattaya Knowledge is supported by display advertising, sponsored business listings, and affiliate links (see our affiliate disclosure). All advertising is clearly identified.
How we label ads
- "Ad" / "Sponsored" labels appear on banner placements.
- "Sponsored listing" appears on paid featured business cards.
- Editorial content is not labelled — it is independent of advertising.
What advertisers cannot buy
- Editorial ranking changes.
- Removal of negative honest feedback.
- Suppression of competing listings.
- Pre-publication content review on editorial pages.
Who advertises
Hotels, condos, restaurants, hospitals, schools, tour operators, real estate agencies, and other Pattaya businesses. Advertising agencies and businesses outside Thailand may also place ads.
