About Visit Thailand Today

Mac Kiley — founder of Visit Thailand Today

Mac Kiley

Founder & Lead Writer

I moved to Thailand in 2018 and after years of exploring this country, I built Visit Thailand Today to share the kind of honest, practical travel advice that I wished existed when I first arrived.

Why This Site Exists

Most Thailand travel content falls into two categories: shallow listicles written by people who visited for a week, or outdated guidebooks that still recommend restaurants that closed years ago. Visit Thailand Today is different. Every guide on this site is written from direct, on-the-ground experience. I've eaten at the street stalls, stayed at the hotels, and navigated the visa process myself.

As an SEO professional, I also understand what makes content genuinely useful versus what's just optimised for clicks. The goal here is simple: give you the information you actually need to plan a great trip to Thailand — no filler, no recycled content, no guesswork.

Experience & Credentials

  • Living in Thailand since 2018 — based in Bangkok and Chiang Mai, with extended stays across 10+ provinces
  • 27 in-depth travel guides covering itineraries, city guides, practical advice, and cultural topics
  • 3,000+ verified places in our directory — hotels, restaurants, temples, beaches, and more, each with real reviews and accurate details
  • Professional SEO background — ensuring our content is not only findable but genuinely worth finding

Editorial Standards

Every piece of content on Visit Thailand Today follows these principles:

  • First-hand experience. We write about places we've actually visited and experiences we've had personally.
  • Regular updates. Prices change, restaurants close, visa rules shift. We review and update our guides regularly to keep them accurate.
  • Honest recommendations. We include affiliate links to help cover costs, but they never influence our recommendations. If a place isn't worth visiting, we don't list it.
  • Practical over promotional. We prioritise actionable advice — what to actually do, what it costs, and what to watch out for — over generic descriptions.
