Terms of service

These terms govern your use of phuketcommunity.com and the Phuket Community newsletter (together, the “Service”). By accessing or using the Service, you agree to these terms.

Phuket Community is operated by the Chokdee Group, based in Phuket, Thailand. For questions about these terms, contact us at hello@phuketcommunity.com.

What the Service is

Phuket Community is a free editorial publication and weekly newsletter covering life on Phuket for residents and prospective residents. We publish guides, shortlists, long-form articles, and practical information.

Editorial content is not professional advice

Our content is editorial in nature. It is not legal advice, financial advice, medical advice, immigration advice, or professional guidance of any kind. Information about visas, healthcare, property, tax, business setup, or other regulated topics is published for general informational purposes only.

You should always consult a qualified professional before making decisions based on topics we cover. We make reasonable efforts to verify the accuracy of what we publish, but we do not guarantee that all information is current, complete, or applicable to your specific situation.

Content ownership

All editorial content published on phuketcommunity.com and in the Phuket Community newsletter — including text, images, graphics, and design — is the property of Phuket Community unless otherwise credited. You may not reproduce, republish, or redistribute our content without written permission.

You may share links to our articles and quote brief excerpts with attribution. If you would like to syndicate or republish any of our content, contact us at hello@phuketcommunity.com.

Partner and business profiles

Business profiles on phuketcommunity.com are written or approved by our editorial team. While partner businesses may submit information and update certain details on their profiles, the editorial presentation remains under our control.

Inclusion of a business on our site — whether as a partner or in editorial content — does not constitute an endorsement, guarantee of quality, or recommendation to enter into any commercial relationship.

User conduct

You agree not to use the Service to distribute spam, malware, or unsolicited commercial messages; to attempt to gain unauthorised access to our systems or those of our service providers; to scrape, reproduce, or redistribute our content without permission; or to impersonate Phuket Community or its contributors.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Phuket Community and the Chokdee Group shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the Service, reliance on our content, or any decision made based on information published by us.

We are not liable for the products, services, or conduct of any business listed on or mentioned in our publication, whether or not that business is a partner.

Third-party links

Our content includes links to third-party websites and services. We are not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or availability of those sites. A link does not imply endorsement.

Availability

We aim to keep phuketcommunity.com available at all times, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted access. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time without notice.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. When we do, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Thailand. Any disputes arising from these terms or your use of the Service shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of Thailand.
