r/ThailandTourism rules, stats, and what to post

This is a subreddit where people ask for advice about visiting Thailand. The description names four main topics: border crossings, hotels, what to see, and what to do. So the room is mostly travellers planning a trip, people already in the country with a question, and locals or frequent visitors answering them. The rules confirm the focus, saying the subreddit is about tourism questions, news, and broader topics. If your post helps someone plan or enjoy a trip to Thailand, it fits. If it is really about selling something, you are in the wrong room unless you are very careful about how you share it.

The rule that decides most marketing outcomes here is “Blogs and YouTube self promotion”. It says links to blog posts and YouTube videos are welcome if readers may find them interesting, but spam is not acceptable. If you post your own content for promotional purposes and have a history of doing that on Reddit, the submission gets removed and you may be banned at the moderators' discretion. “No name-calling, racism, homophobia, sexism, etc.” matters because it requires civil and respectful discussion even when you disagree, and offensive content or trolling gets removed with repeat occurrences leading to a ban. “Illegal content” removes anything that encourages illegal behaviour, and it also covers anything considered Lèse-majesté in Thailand, meaning insulting or disrespecting the King, the Royal Family, or the monarchy system. “Misinformation” is a removal reason on its own, even though the rule text is just the word itself. “Violence” bans posts showing violence or fights for the sake of it, like videos of tourists misbehaving, because the subreddit is about tourism questions, news, and broader topics.

A good post here answers a real travel question about Thailand. Write about border crossings, hotels, neighbourhoods, food, or itineraries, and make the post useful on its own even with no link attached. If you run a travel blog or a YouTube channel, you can share a link when it genuinely helps readers, but your account history should look like a normal Redditor who comments and posts about many things, not a promoter. Answer other people's questions first and post your own content rarely. If you are a founder with a product that touches travel, the safest move is to participate as a helpful member and only share a link when the community's own rule allows it, meaning the link is interesting to readers and you have no spam history.

The fastest way to get removed here is posting your own blog or video links when your Reddit history already shows self promotion. The rule is explicit that this leads to removal and possibly a ban. Being rude, racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, or trolling in comments is another clear path out, and repeat behaviour means a ban. Anything insulting the Thai monarchy is removed under the illegal content rule, so keep royal topics out of your posts entirely. Do not post anything encouraging illegal behaviour, do not spread misinformation, and do not share fight videos or content showing violence for its own sake.

The self promotion rule here is more open than most, since links to blogs and videos are explicitly welcome, but it comes with a real trap for anyone with a promotional posting history. I also find the monarchy rule worth pausing on, because it is a hard line that has nothing to do with marketing and everything to do with posting respectfully in a Thai community. With no observed top posts to learn from, I would treat the description as the whole brief and keep any contribution genuinely useful.
