Advertising Options
Banner Ads on Home Page
The Hua Hin Dot Com advertising offering focuses on banner ads in the right side column of each page of the site (outside of forums). All banners should be images (gif, jpeg, png), Adobe Flash® content is currently discouraged for usability reasons. Every banner can be linked to your external web site which might also help your search engine ranking.
All advertisments are subject to evaluation if they are suitable for the average user of our site. We prefer tourism and travel related advertisments targeted at visitors living outside of Thailand, as well as education and development related services over services advertised to retirees, expats or "investors" living in Thailand. We will not consider hotel reservation agents nor property developers and agents offering "land ownership in Thailand for foreigners", but welcome independent accommodation providers and rental agents, tour operators and educational institutions.
