Effective 2 November 2026 Accounts for ages 18+
Effective date: 2 November 2026. Version: 2026-11-02.
1. Agreement and scope
These Terms govern access to and use of Thailand Navigator, including destination information, guides, directory listings, maps, saved content, trip-planning tools, accounts, contact and suggestion features, and community services. If you do not agree, do not create an account or use interactive features.
Who operates Thailand Navigator?Antony Giles, based in the United Kingdom, operates Thailand Navigator. For questions, complaints or legal enquiries, email thailandnavigatormail@gmail.com.
2. Eligibility and account responsibilities
You must be aged 18 or over to create or hold an account and use account-based features. By registering, you confirm that you meet that age requirement and can enter into these Terms under the law that applies to you. Public guides and destination information can be read without an account. We do not offer an under-18 account or parental-consent registration route.
Eligibility
Use the service only if you have legal capacity and are not prohibited from doing so.
Accurate details
Provide a current email address and accurate account information.
Protect your account
Keep credentials confidential and tell us promptly if you suspect compromise. Never send us your password.
Responsible activity
You are responsible for activity through your account unless applicable law provides otherwise.
Do not create accounts to evade a restriction, impersonate another person or manipulate reviews and rankings. A business representative must have authority to act for the business. We may request proportionate evidence where an account, business claim or safety issue needs verification.
3. Acceptable use
Use Thailand Navigator lawfully, respectfully and in a way that does not harm people, data, systems or the usefulness of the service.
Allowed examples
- Use information for personal planning and lawful research
- Contribute genuine questions, experiences and corrections
- Save content and create legitimate trip plans
- Interact respectfully with other users
- Link to public pages without implying endorsement
Prohibited examples
- Illegal, fraudulent, deceptive, defamatory or harmful activity
- Spam, unauthorised scraping, excessive automated access or service disruption
- Impersonation, false affiliation or misleading identity claims
- Malware, malicious files, security attacks or access circumvention
- Harassment, threats, privacy invasion or exploitation
- Manipulating votes, rankings, reviews or verification status
- Publishing personal data without a lawful basis
- Automated use without written permission
Enforcement should be proportionate, consistent and documented, subject to urgent action where needed to protect people or systems.
4. Community rules
Community features are for helpful, respectful and trustworthy conversations. Posts and replies may be reported, reviewed, hidden, locked or removed under the published moderation approach.
Be respectful
Treat other people with courtesy and avoid harassment or hostility.
Provide context
Share relevant first-hand experience and identify important limitations where possible.
Separate fact and opinion
Make clear when you are sharing a personal experience rather than stating a verified fact.
Disclose affiliations
Disclose business, employment, family or commercial relationships relevant to a contribution.
Do not post dangerous, discriminatory, defamatory or privacy-invasive materialReporting does not guarantee removal. Moderation decisions may consider context, evidence, safety, legal duties and the rights of everyone involved.
5. User-submitted content
You keep ownership of original content you submit. To make the service work, you grant the operator a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide and royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce, format, display, technically distribute and moderate that content only for operating, securing and providing Thailand Navigator.
| Purpose limit | The licence does not permit selling your content as a standalone work or using it to imply an endorsement. Any broader promotional or commercial use requires a separate permission unless the law allows it. |
| Sublicensing | The licence may be passed only to service providers and technical distribution partners to the extent needed to provide the service, subject to appropriate obligations. |
| Duration | The licence ends when content is deleted from the live service, except for limited backup copies, legal records and content that others have lawfully reused or quoted within the service. |
| Moderation | We may format, refuse, restrict, hide or remove content where reasonably necessary to enforce these Terms, respond to reports, protect users or comply with law. |
Your responsibilities
- You have the rights and permissions needed to submit the content
- Your factual claims are accurate to the best of your knowledge
- The content does not unlawfully copy or misuse another person’s work, image or personal information
- You understand that public posts may be visible, searchable and quoted by other users
Removal and anonymous discussionsWe will consider a request to remove identifying material from your contribution. A public discussion may remain after account closure only where there is an appropriate basis to retain it, including where it has been genuinely anonymised. Account closure does not give us a new right to use your content in advertising or to imply your endorsement.
6. Intellectual property
Thailand Navigator’s branding, interface, software, original editorial material and site design are owned by or licensed to the operator. Except where law permits, you may not copy a substantial part of the service, republish content commercially, remove rights notices, reverse engineer protected components, or present Thailand Navigator material as your own. Third-party names, images, maps and content remain the property of their respective owners.
7. Directory, business and property listings
Directory entries and property listings are informational. A listing, claim status, enhancement, availability confirmation or verification label is not an endorsement, guarantee, licence check, valuation, legal due diligence or promise of quality or availability.
Submitting a partnership proposal does not create a partnership, endorsement, paid placement or obligation to proceed. The representative must be authorised to submit it and must provide accurate information. Any accepted collaboration requires separately agreed written terms.
Listing standards
- Identify the real owner, organisation and authorised representative
- Keep names, categories, contact details, prices, terms, availability and locations accurate
- Have the authority and rights needed to offer the property and publish all supplied text and media
- Disclose affiliations, commercial interests, fees and material restrictions
- Provide evidence when verification or correction reasonably requires it
- Do not manipulate rankings, reviews, reports or verification signals
Independent editorial controlBusinesses may suggest corrections but cannot control independent editorial content. Paid enhancements never purchase a recommendation, ranking, review, favourable verification outcome or removal of accurate criticism.
We may refuse, correct, label, suspend or remove a listing that is inaccurate, deceptive, unavailable, unsafe, unlawful, unverifiable or inconsistent with published standards. Property seekers must independently confirm ownership, authority, condition, boundaries, title, legal restrictions, price, fees and availability and should obtain appropriate legal and professional advice before paying money or entering an agreement.
8. Sponsored, partner and affiliate content
Thailand Navigator may display clearly identified sponsored content, partner content and, if introduced, links that can earn a commission. Commercial relationships do not override editorial standards, factual review, directory usefulness, verification status or organic ranking.
Current service: Thailand Navigator does not currently take payments through the website. Browsing and the currently available member features do not create a payment obligation.
Future advertiser services: paid advertising or promotional placements may be introduced later. Before an advertiser commits to pay, a separate written order or advertising agreement must identify the advertiser and authorised representative, placement, price and taxes, campaign dates or duration, content and approval requirements, reporting if supplied, cancellation and refund terms, payment terms and any renewal. No paid order is created merely by opening an account, submitting an enquiry or accepting these general Terms.
We will explain any future paid feature and its applicable terms before purchase. Existing free accounts will not become chargeable automatically. Advertiser agreements do not buy organic rankings, favourable reviews or a verification result, and they do not remove any statutory rights that apply to a purchaser.
SponsoredPaid placement or commissioned content, clearly identified where it appears.
PartnerA disclosed collaborative or commercial relationship.
Paid linkIf affiliate links are introduced, the commission relationship is disclosed close to the link.
No paid rankings or purchased recommendationsPayment cannot buy a higher organic position, favourable review, recommendation, verification status or suppression of material facts.
9. Information disclaimers
Thailand Navigator provides general information and planning tools, not professional advice. Information can change, contain errors or be incomplete. Check current requirements with an appropriate official source or qualified professional before acting.
Travel and safety
Conditions, rules, closures and risks change. Check current official travel and safety advice.
Immigration and visas
General information only; not immigration advice. Verify with the relevant authority.
Medical and health
Not medical diagnosis or treatment advice. Seek qualified medical care.
Legal information
Not legal advice and no solicitor-client or equivalent relationship is created.
Business and tax
Not professional accounting, tax, employment or commercial advice.
Financial information
Not investment, credit, insurance or other regulated financial advice.
Directory and property information
Listings may be incomplete, approximate or outdated; verification, availability checks and user comments are not guarantees. Independently verify a property and transaction before committing.
Weather, transport and availability
Live or third-party data may be delayed, incomplete or unavailable. Confirm critical details directly.
Thailand Navigator is not an emergency serviceContact the appropriate local emergency service, authority, embassy or qualified professional when urgent help is needed.
10. Third-party services and links
The service may link to external websites, map providers, email services, security services and listed businesses. Those third parties control their own services, availability, terms and privacy practices. A link or listing does not mean that Thailand Navigator endorses, controls or guarantees the third party. Review the third party’s information before sharing data or entering a transaction.
Private document storage and personal reminders are convenience tools. Keep your own copies of important documents and independently verify expiry dates, appointments and deadlines. Do not rely on a reminder as the only way to meet a legal, immigration, medical or financial obligation. This does not limit rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.
11. Suspension and termination
We may warn, restrict, suspend or terminate access where reasonably justified—for example, for a material or repeated breach, fraud, unlawful use, a security threat, serious harm to others or a binding legal requirement. Urgent risks may require immediate action.
Warning or restrictionTemporary suspensionContent actionAccount termination
You may stop using the service at any time and request account closure by emailing thailandnavigatormail@gmail.com. Send the request from the account email where possible. A separate erasure request can cover personal information held about you; the Privacy Policy explains the treatment of private information, public contributions, necessary retained records and backups.
Where appropriate, we will explain a restriction or suspension and how to request review. Contact the same email with the account identifier, the decision and why you believe it should be reconsidered. We may limit the information supplied where it would compromise another person's privacy, a security investigation or a legal obligation. Account closure, suspension or termination does not extinguish applicable data rights or any mandatory consumer rights.
12. Liability
We aim to keep the service useful and take reasonable care in operating it. Information, third-party availability, transport estimates and reminders may be incomplete, change or become unavailable. Independently confirm information that is important to a booking, purchase, immigration deadline, medical decision or other significant action.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited. Your mandatory consumer and data-protection rights remain unaffected.
We do not impose a blanket exclusion of liability, an arbitrary financial cap or an obligation for ordinary users to indemnify us. Any future advertiser agreement may address commercial risks separately, subject to applicable law.
13. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. This choice does not take away mandatory protections that apply to a consumer in their country of residence.
For a complaint or dispute, first email thailandnavigatormail@gmail.com with the relevant details and the outcome you are seeking. We will consider the issue and try to resolve it reasonably. Courts in England and Wales are the agreed forum, subject to any mandatory right you have to bring a claim in another court, including a consumer's applicable home courts. These Terms do not impose mandatory arbitration or restrict your right to contact a regulator.
14. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms to reflect service, legal or operational changes. We show the effective date and version here and give reasonable notice of material changes before they apply, except where an urgent legal or security change requires faster action. Where renewed acceptance is required for an account feature, we ask for it before applying that change. Changes do not retroactively remove accrued mandatory rights.
