Chiang Mai Locator is an online platform for readers, businesses, institutions and other organisations, mainly focussed on Chiang Mai and the North of Thailand. Occasionally, we list businesses in Bangkok when they are relevant and at their request we may also list businesses abroad.
Our aim is to offer a safe and respectful platform for exchange of information and connecting people, businesses and other organisations. As such, we attempt to list as many places as possible and allow people to comment freely.
With businesses changing every single day, it will be impossible to keep our database completely up to date. If there is obsolete information on the website, anybody can contact us to inform us and we'll updated it as soon as possible. As we are not a large team of people full-time employed in an office and most services are free of charge, please allow us some time.
We believe in the freedom of speech but hate speech, discrimatory comments and expressions in breach of the Laws of Thailand will be deleted. Comments that cannot be tracked to a source and fake comments may also be deleted.
The content of the website consists on the one hand of a database with details such as addresses, phone numbers and other details of businesses, which are factual, and on the other hand of written texts that describe places, experiences and businesses.
Any factual information that is outdated or incorrect will be corrected or deleted as soon as we hear from it. Any other information is, in the end, a subjective opinion either of readers, members or partners of the Chiang Mai Locator team, and cannot be considered right or wrong. It is merely an opinion. For example, any description of a massage salon and its services is in the end a subjective opinion, with it personal judgements and compliments, much like reviews on Google, Facebook or other social platforms.
Chiang Mai Locator will gather information from readers, members and partners to summarize them into descriptive texts that may be a positive or negative comment or review about a business. For the privacy or contributors, readers and guest writers or other contributors, the name(s) of contributors are not always mentioned or there could be aliases.
Poor business ethics will be displayed on company profiles and we have zero tolerance for non-ethical behaviour.
The website liaises with certain partner shops of our choice to sustain an advertising income that keeps this website alive. Naturally, there is more promotion and some bias that favours partner shops over others.
Chiang Mai Locator rejects all claims of defamation. The role of the website is to be a platform for people to express their opinions and views, whether it is an individual comment by a reader, a description that summarizes the views or experiences of several people, or the personal view point of contributing writers. None of such content is deliberately put together to attack one particular business. If we notice there is an organised, systematic attack on a certain business, we will delete such content.
The website is not liable for the correctness of its content: factual information in the database may be outdated and descriptive content is in the end merely an opinion of one or several persons. We do aim to keep factual information up to date but businesses are changing all the time, and descriptive information cannot be considered right or wrong as in the end it's merely an individual or summarized opinion.
The website does have a responsibility in deleting fake comments, hate speech, discriminatory comments and attempts of attack on a single business by defamation.
Being one of Chiang Mai's most influential websites, we do understand how online content can affect your business positively or negatively. This is exactly the same for Google, Facebook and other social platforms. We care about all local businesses as well as we care about the interests of our readers to be able to access good, valuable and detailed content. There is no point for the website to allow for only positive content on a business, people have to be free to express their experiences.
If you deem that your business has been unfairly displayed in the website, you can contact us with proof that shows that the content should be otherwise. We will check to the best of our ability and edit and even test-visit where we can. We value positive, long lasting partnerships over confrontation and disputes.
Making threats to our website, partner shops or our partners is not appreciated and will be met with swift and appropriate counter actions with long lasting implications for our relationship and your standing in the Chiang Mai community.
