How the Platform Works
Jai Thai is a fixed-fee cooperative booking platform — commission per booking, and the ones who get more from it. Every booking is split the same way.
- •80% to the operator running your tour.
- •5% is a shared marketing pool that promotes every operator equally.
- •10% to run Jai Thai.
That is what cooperative means in practice. The platform is here to serve the operators and the operators share the cost of being found. When a traveler books a tour through Jai Thai, the price they pay reaches the operator running the tour and drops in the community where the tour happens.
85% To Operators
Goes directly to you, the operator.
5% Shared Marketing
Goes into a shared marketing pool that promotes every operator on the platform.
10% Runs Jai Thai

What You Get
What You Get as a Jai Thai Operator
Your Own Microsite
Every operator on Jai Thai gets a dedicated microsite on the platform. Your own page, your own story, your own tours and transfers listed under your name. Travellers browse your page, read about you, and book directly with you.
A Share of The Marketing Pool
The 5% shared marketing contribution funds platform-wide SEO, content, and advertising that benefits every operator. You are not competing for visibility based on spend. Every operator is promoted through the same shared effort.
Direct Bookings, Direct Contact
Bookings go straight to you, with traveller details and a direct WhatsApp contact included. There is no call centre handling your guests before they arrive. The relationship between you and the traveller starts at the moment they book.
Visibility Where Travelers are Searching
Every tour and transfer page on Jai Thai is built for search and AI visibility. Your tours show up in Google results, in AI travel assistants like ChatGPT and Google's AI overviews, and on platform-wide content like destination guides and activity pages. You reach travelers at the moment they're deciding — not just after they've already chosen another platform.
Network-wide Rewards That Bring Travelers Back
When travelers create a Jai Thai account, they earn points redeemable across tours and transfers platform-wide. A traveler who books a cooking class with you earns credit they can later use with another operator — and vice versa. This creates a Thailand-wide referral network that benefits everyone. Each booking grows a community of travelers returning for future experiences.
Who Can Join
Who Can Join
Jai Thai works with established local operators across Thailand. It is built for operators who have a genuine track record and are willing to go through an in-person verification process.
Jai Thai does not accept every operator who applies. The platform is built on trust, and every operator listed has been accepted and verified by us. If your operation is legitimate and your tours are genuinely worth recommending, we'd love to hear from you.
