Rules can change, so Rankhog keeps verification dates and the original public Reddit sources visible.

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

  • A detailed answer to a common trip planning question, like how a specific border crossing works, written from real experience with no link attached
  • A hotel or area comparison that helps someone choose where to stay, posted as plain text advice
  • A blog post or YouTube video link that genuinely answers a question readers ask, shared by an account with a normal, non promotional history
  • A helpful comment on someone else's itinerary question, which builds the account history you need before ever sharing your own content
  • A practical guide to what to see and do in one place, written so the post is valuable even if nobody clicks anything

Avoid

  • Posting your own blog or YouTube links when your Reddit history shows a pattern of self promotion, which the mods remove and can lead to a ban
  • Dropping the same link across many subreddits, because a history of promotional posting is exactly what gets submissions removed here
  • Name calling, racism, homophobia, sexism, or trolling in the comments, even when you disagree with someone
  • Posting anything that insults or disrespects the Thai King, the Royal Family, or the monarchy system
  • Sharing posts that encourage illegal behaviour, since illegal content is removed outright
  • Spreading misinformation, which is a stated removal reason on its own even though the rule text is short

What r/ThailandTourism Is For

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.

Rules That Matter Before Posting

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.

What To Post

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.

What To Avoid

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.

Common questions about r/ThailandTourism

Can I link my travel blog here?

Yes, conditionally. The rule “Blogs and YouTube self promotion” says you are welcome to post links to blog posts or YouTube videos that may interest readers, as long as it is not spam.

What happens if I have promoted my own content before?

If you have a history of posting your own content for promotional purposes on Reddit, your submission will be removed and you may be banned at the moderators' discretion.

What kind of content actually fits this subreddit?

The description covers advice about visiting Thailand, border crossings, hotels, and what to see and do, so a helpful guide that fits those topics is the safest shape.

Can I argue with commenters who criticize my post?

No. The rules ban offensive content and intentional trolling, and the moderators remove it, with repeat occurrences leading to a ban.

Is it safe to post edgy or political content to get attention?

No. Rule “Illegal content” covers posts that encourage illegal behaviour, and the monarchy rule makes disrespect toward the King or Royal Family a removal risk too.
