Four editors, one bilingual Bangkok reference — written from the ground, not a stock-photo desk
Bangkok Knowledge is the bilingual English–Thai reference site for anyone visiting, moving to, or living in Bangkok. Four editors — three long-term expats and one Bangkok-born writer — cover every topic on the site between them, with clear ownership over their beats. When you read a guide, you know exactly who wrote it, when they last physically visited, and what their qualifications are.
Everything on the site is written or reviewed by one of the four named editors below. We do not accept ghost-written PR, do not publish sponsored content disguised as editorial, and disclose all affiliate links inline. See our full fact-checking approach on the editorial-policy page.
UK expat living in Bangkok since 2019 — LTR-visa holder since the 2023 Highly-Skilled Professional launch and previously an ex-BBC South-East-Asia stringer. Covers every visa category, work-permit process, tax reform, and long-stay pathway on the site. Files original walkthroughs from the actual Chaeng Wattana and BOI counters, and cross-checks every fee against the source ministry.
Topics owned
Bangkok-born, Yaowarat-raised food and culture writer. Trained in Thai literature at Chulalongkorn and now writes bilingually about the temples, festivals, night markets, and cooking traditions she grew up inside. Owns the 12 Bangkok-in-[Month] guides, everything food-related, and every temple / cultural page. Walks the routes she writes about — most guides include a note on the last day she physically visited.
Topics owned
Family and healthcare specialist based in Sukhumvit since 2018. Mother of two who has personally navigated Bangkok's paediatric ERs, international schools, and international-tier maternity wards — writes the persona guides (baby, toddler, teen, pregnant travellers, seniors), every hospital deep-dive, and everything on insurance and medical tourism. Cross-checks price examples with real hospital cashiers rather than website rate cards.
Topics owned
Long-time Bangkok resident who has ridden every BTS line before opening, walked every soi from Sathorn to Ari, and made every overland border run at least twice. Covers transport, driving, day-trips, the 10 Bangkok-to-* destinations, safety, and the scam guides — including the ones he learned about the hard way. Rides trains and buses to verify current fares before publishing.
Topics owned
On-the-ground verification. Every guide notes when the author last physically visited the venues or services described. We ride the trains and buses, walk into the hospital lobbies, and queue at the immigration counters.
Primary-source citations. Fees, opening hours, and legal rules cite the source ministry (immigration.go.th, mol.go.th, moph.go.th, boi.go.th, etc.) not blog posts or forums.
Firecrawl business-data verification. Venue records (hospitals, luxury hotels, embassies, theme parks) are automatically re-verified against their official websites via our self-hosted Firecrawl instance. Records show a 'business data verified' date on the author block.
Named accountability. Every page shows the responsible editor. Corrections can be sent to their editorial email listed on our contact page — they respond directly.
