Bangkok, Thailand
In short
Explera hosts travel creators in Thailand, from Bangkok and Chiang Mai to Phuket, Krabi and the islands, with hotel, transfers and activities on the ground in exchange for agreed, disclosed coverage. Hosted tiers start at 150,000 followers on your primary channel. Every application is answered within five business days. Flights, visas, cash fees and insurance are never included.
The tiers
150k–249k followers
Your pick from our catalogue, matched to the niche your audience actually follows you for.
250k–499k followers
Not a single outing — a programme built around what your channel is known for.
500k–1M followers
Enough time to move between destinations rather than shoot one base, so the trip carries a real narrative.
1M–5M followers
Island days, cultural itineraries, venue sessions — planned around the destinations and the content your audience comes to you for.
Spotlight · Under 150k followers. We still reply — and still consider a single activity or tour.
Bespoke · Over 5M followers. Above five million, we build the trip with you — including multi-destination trips across Asia.
What's included
A hosted day
06:45
A private vehicle to the pier. Early starts reach the first island before most day boats.
07:30
Safety briefing, life jackets and a dry bag for your kit. Park fees apply only if the activity includes them.
08:30
Calm water and low sun for wide shots and the longtail-and-limestone frames.
12:30
Shade, a card swap and a battery check before the afternoon run.
15:30
Offload and back up footage; the midday light is harsh anyway.
17:45
A beach or viewpoint for sunset. On the Andaman coast the sun sets over the sea.
19:30
Dinner outside the plan is a personal extra. Tomorrow's pick-up time is in the portal.

FAQ
No. Explera never provides flights, international or domestic. You book and pay for your flight to Thailand and any flight between bases, such as Bangkok to Phuket or Chiang Mai. Once you land, Explera covers your return airport transfer in a private licensed vehicle, your hotel and the agreed activities, according to your tier.
Hosted tiers start at 150,000 followers on your primary channel: Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, or an equivalent blog audience. Your count on that one channel decides the tier. Below 150,000 we still reply and look case by case, normally offering a single activity or tour without hotel or transfers.
Creators aged 18 or over with a primary channel, their own blog or website, and an audience that fits Thailand. We verify reach, engagement quality, audience geography, niche fit, recent content and that your website is live and yours. Bought followers, engagement pods or undisclosed past sponsorships end an application.
Yes, every applicant does, including Spotlight. It must be a website you own, not a social profile or link-in-bio page. You use it for the pre-trip announcement and for the post-trip blog post with a do-follow link to the Explera page for your experience, which stays useful long after social posts fade.
Your tier's hotel nights with breakfast, return airport transfers and the agreed activities in Thailand are complimentary. You pay for flights, visas, travel insurance, meals outside the plan and personal extras such as extra drinks, spa add-ons, souvenirs or upgrades nobody agreed. Explera does not pay cash fees for content.
Every post about the trip is disclosed clearly at the start, following the rules for your audience's country: FTC in the US, ASA and CMA in the UK, stealth-marketing rules in Japan, and so on. For Thai audiences, use a clear Thai-language or English disclosure at the start. The exact wording is written into your agreement.
No. We never script or pre-approve editorial content. We check only the agreed tags, links and disclosure, and we may ask for a factual correction, such as a wrong price or a safety detail. What you think of the trip, and how you edit it, is up to you.
Apply at least three weeks before you plan to travel. Once your agreement is signed, scheduling needs at least a week to confirm hotels, vehicles and boat seats. For Thailand's peak months, roughly November to April on the islands and around New Year, Chinese New Year and Songkran, more notice gives you better options.
Possibly, but plan carefully. Thailand generally requires camera drones to be registered with the aviation and telecoms authorities and covered by insurance, and many national parks, temples, palaces and areas near airports restrict or ban flights. Rules change and vary by site, so check them for each location and date. Explera cannot obtain drone permissions for you.
Cover shoulders and knees, remove shoes before entering temple buildings and keep your feet from pointing at Buddha images. Photography is banned in some interiors, and tripods may be restricted at busy sites. At the Grand Palace the dress code is strictly enforced. Ask before filming monks, and women should not touch them.
