Can I post my own blog or YouTube video about Thailand travel?
Yes, but only if the content is genuinely interesting to readers and you do not have a history of spamming your own content across Reddit.

Rule summary
- Blogs and YouTube self promotion: You are welcome to post links to blog posts or YouTube videos that may be of interest to readers, however, spam is not acceptable. If you are posting your own content for promotional purposes and have a history of doing so on Reddit, the submission will be removed and you may be banned at the discretion of the moderators.
- No name-calling, racism, homophobia, sexism, etc.: Any racist, sexist, transphobic, comments and intentional trolling, or otherwise offensive content will be removed, and repeat occurrences may result in a ban from this Subreddit. Keep discussion civil and respectful, even when you disagree with someone.
- Illegal content: Posts which that have or encourage illegal content or behaviour, including anything that is considered Lèse-majesté in Thailand (insulting or disrespecting The King, the Royal Family and/or the monarchy system in Thailand.)
- Misinformation: Misinformation
- Violence: Posts depicting violence simply for the sake of showing violence / fights are not welcome. This subreddit about tourism questions, news and broader topics. A video of some tourists misbehaving and getting into fights does not belong here.
Works well
- Answer a traveler question about a specific border crossing or visa run with your own experience, no links attached.
- Share a detailed blog post about a lesser-known Thailand destination only after your account has a clean history of helpful participation.
- Post a YouTube video walkthrough of a hotel or attraction that directly answers a question someone already asked in the community.
- Comment on threads about what to see or do in a specific Thai city, offering practical tips before ever mentioning your own product.
Avoid
- Posting your own blog or video if your Reddit history shows a pattern of self promotion.
- Using racist, sexist, transphobic, or otherwise offensive language in posts or comments.
- Sharing anything that insults or disrespects the Thai royal family or monarchy system.
- Posting videos of fights or tourist misbehavior, since this community is about tourism questions and broader topics.
- Spreading misinformation in your posts or comments.
What r/ThailandTourism Is For
This community is for people who want advice about visiting Thailand. That includes questions about border crossings, hotels, what to see, and what to do. The rules also mention tourism news and broader topics as fair game. It is a practical, question-driven subreddit where travelers come looking for real answers from people who know the country.
Rules That Matter Before Posting
The rule called 'Blogs and YouTube self promotion' is the one that matters most for a founder. It says you can post links to blog posts or YouTube videos if they interest readers, but if you have a history of posting your own content for promotional purposes, the submission will be removed and you may be banned. The rule called 'Misinformation' is short but broad, so anything inaccurate or misleading puts your post at risk. The rule called 'Illegal content' is also important because it specifically calls out lèse-majesté, meaning any insult or disrespect toward the King, the Royal Family, or the monarchy system in Thailand is off the table.
What To Post
A good post here answers a real traveler question or shares genuinely useful Thailand travel information without a promotional angle. If you are a founder with a travel-related product, the safest move is to first participate as a helpful community member, answering questions about border crossings, hotels, or things to do. Once you have built a clean history with no self promotion, you can share a blog post or YouTube video that is directly useful to someone planning a Thailand trip, as long as it is interesting to readers and not just a plug for your product.
What To Avoid
Avoid posting your own blog or video if your Reddit history already shows a pattern of self promotion, because the rule says that will get your submission removed and could get you banned. Avoid any racist, sexist, transphobic, or trolling language, as the 'No name-calling, racism, homophobia, sexism, etc.' rule is clear that repeat occurrences lead to bans. Avoid anything that insults or disrespects the Thai royal family or monarchy, since the 'Illegal content' rule treats that as prohibited. Avoid spreading misinformation, which has its own rule. And avoid posting videos of fights or tourist misbehavior, because the 'Violence' rule says that content does not belong here.
