How this site handles your data, and how it makes money.
Totally Bangkok is an independent, reader-supported guide. Some links on this site are affiliate links — if you click through and make a purchase or sign up, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. This never influences which places, hotels or products we recommend; we only link to things we'd genuinely suggest to a friend.
As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases made through Amazon links on this site, including the travel gear links in our footer.
We also link to Wise, a money transfer and travel card service the site's author personally uses and recommends. If you sign up through our link, we may receive a referral reward.
We don't run display advertising and we don't accept payment to influence editorial content, rankings, or recommendations anywhere on this site.
This site uses Google Analytics to understand which pages are useful and where visitors come from — this collects standard anonymised usage data (pages visited, general location by country/city, device type) and does not identify you personally.
We don't operate user accounts, don't collect payment information directly, and don't sell or share visitor data with third parties beyond what's needed to run Google Analytics and the affiliate programmes disclosed above.
Google Analytics sets standard analytics cookies to distinguish visitors and sessions. Affiliate links (Wise, Amazon) may set a tracking cookie via the destination site once you click through, governed by that site's own privacy policy — we don't control or access this data ourselves.
This site links extensively to hotels, restaurants, tour operators and other external sites as part of normal travel-guide content. We aren't responsible for the privacy practices or content of external sites — check their own policies before sharing personal information with them.
Questions about this policy or how the site is monetised are welcome — see the contact page for how to reach us.
