For local businesses
Hua Hin Compass helps people research, plan and build their life in Hua Hin. That means our visitors aren't only looking for information.
They're deciding where to eat, where to exercise, what to do, which services to use and which local businesses might become part of their everyday routine. If your business is relevant to that audience, we'd like to make it easier for them to find you.
Hua Hin Compass is building a curated local directory across restaurants, cafés, sports, wellness, activities, beaches, family life and other parts of everyday life in Hua Hin.
Businesses can be discovered through our Lifestyle guides, the interactive map and relevant local content.
But there's an important distinction between being visible on Hua Hin Compass and being recommended by Hua Hin Compass.
Businesses can pay us for visibility. They cannot pay us for our opinion.
Four separate labels. Two are factual, one is editorial, one is commercial — and they are stored and decided separately.
Factual status
A relevant business included in the Hua Hin Compass local database. A business may be identified through our own research or submitted by its owner.
Being listed does not imply a recommendation.
Free
Factual status
Business information that has been reviewed or confirmed sufficiently for Hua Hin Compass to display it as verified. Verification relates to factual business information.
Verified is not a quality award. It does not mean we recommend the business.
Free
Editorial status
An independent editorial selection. Compass Picks are places we believe are particularly useful or worth considering for a specific reason.
Compass Picks cannot be purchased.
Not for sale
Commercial status
Paid additional visibility for businesses that want a stronger presence across relevant Hua Hin Compass experiences.
Always labelled Featured or Partner. Never labelled Compass Pick.
Paid
We want Hua Hin Compass to be useful because it contains the right places — not only the businesses that pay to appear.
That's why relevant businesses can be submitted for inclusion without paying for a listing. Every submission is reviewed before publication, and submission does not guarantee inclusion.
If your business already appears on Hua Hin Compass, you can request access to manage or update its information.
Claims are reviewed by us before any management rights are granted. We never hand over a listing on the strength of an email address alone.
A standard listing helps people find your business. Featured Partner options are for businesses that want additional visibility and stronger ways for visitors to take action.

Additional visibility and stronger ways for visitors to take action.
Paid visibility. It does not influence editorial recommendations or Compass Picks.
Enquire about FeaturedContact us
For more substantial partnerships, campaigns, booking or referral arrangements and bespoke opportunities.
Featured placement is paid visibility. It does not influence Hua Hin Compass editorial recommendations or Compass Picks.
We are building the tracking that would let a Featured Partner see how their listing performs — listing views, map views, directions clicks, website clicks, phone clicks, contact clicks, booking clicks, offer clicks. We will not show any of it until the numbers are reliable, and we will never present estimated figures as measured ones.
For businesses where visitors can make a measurable booking or enquiry — activities, golf, wellness, sports, tours, transfers and selected services.
Enquire about a booking partnershipA genuine benefit for Hua Hin Compass readers: an introductory session, a day pass, a complimentary extra, a real discount or a special package. We have no active offers to announce yet.
Propose a Compass OfferCommercial collaboration on content is possible. Sponsored or commercially funded content is always labelled as such, and never presented as independent editorial.
Discuss a content partnershipIf your idea doesn't fit the options above, tell us what you have in mind.
Discuss a partnershipSome links on Hua Hin Compass may generate a commission when someone makes a booking or purchase. When that's the case, we'll make the commercial relationship clear.
A commission may influence how Hua Hin Compass earns money. It shouldn't influence what we tell you.
If we believe another option is more useful, the fact that it doesn't pay us a commission should not prevent us from mentioning it.
Commercial relationships should never determine our conclusions.
These are the areas we currently cover. If your business is useful to people living here and isn't on the list, tell us anyway.
Our audience includes people who are:
We don't publish audience figures we can't stand behind. When we have reliable traffic data worth sharing, we'll share it here.
If your business is useful to people living in, moving to or spending meaningful time in Hua Hin, start by submitting it for review.
You don't need to advertise to be considered for inclusion.
All submissions are reviewed before publication.
