About us

The 1stopthailand series aims to offer a 1 stop comprehensive tourist guide to online travellers, and includes more than 1000 content-rich pages across seven sites. Updated yearly, the sites also includes more than 2500 pictures, 150 video clips and detailed listings of tourist businesses and services. With our ‘tell it like it is’ policy we try to promote Thailand in a balanced and positive way, free of over commercialised influence, or undue favouritism to advertisers, hotel affiliates or suppliers.

The sites are produced and managed by Insiteful Web Services, based in Chiang Mai, Thailand. All information on these sites is researched and written by us, using a well-developed network of travel writers in Thailand and several people work full-time to update and manage the site.

Advertising opportunities

Collectively these sites attract a minimum of 120,000 visitors per month with an average total page impression amount of 360,000 per month. This presents a significant advertising platform for local businesses, and can be verified with audited statistics. Furthermore the sites rank well in search engine results for popular tourism search terms, providing targeted traffic.

Advertising on 1stop sites is offered either as a top of page banner, or thumbnail ads in the right side commercial column. Tours and other commissionable services are also offered on a client’s behalf with text boxes at the end of the page. Rates are set per page impression, at roughly 100 baht per 100 page impressions for exclusive header banners, (approximately a third of the cost of google adsense). Attractive annual discounts are also offered. For a personal two-week FREE trial, and consultation please email marketing@1stopthailand.com

Co-promotion partners and listings

More than 80,000 new people visit our sites every month and the 1stop series aims to provide them with as many suggestions and recommendations as possible, provided they are relevant and worth mentioning. We also seek promotion and recommendation from other sites. Please do speak to us about how your site can appear on our pages. They must be Thailand and/or travel - leisure sites with relevant content. On a case-by-case basis we will be happy to give you a link, listing or thumbnail image and will expect a similar gesture in return.
Note! We are usually not interested in massed 'links directory' schemes but will be happy to appear on your 'resources' pages. For a 48 hour response please email webmaster@1stopthailand.com
