- 24 กันยายน 2026, 12:14:56A question we get from visitors: how do I know which shops on this forum are real, and which posts are paid?
Here is exactly how it works, so you can judge for yourself.
Three kinds of shop posts
1. Unverified listing A thread our team created from public information. It says clearly at the top that the owner has not confirmed it yet. Treat it as a starting point, not a recommendation.
2. Verified owner The shop owner has contacted us, we called the shop number to confirm, and the thread carries a verified label. The owner can update prices and answer reviews under the shop name. Reviews from members are never removed at the owner's request.
3. Sponsor The shop pays for placement on the cnxseed.com front page and has its own board. Sponsor posts are always labelled as such. Paying does not buy good reviews and does not remove bad ones.
Where the regional listings live
Bangkok and Central · Pattaya and the East · Isan: Khon Kaen, Udon, Korat · Phuket, Hat Yai, Samui and the South
The listing threads are in Thai, but each one follows the same layout: shop name, area, type, and a status line. If you cannot read Thai, the shop name and area are enough to find it on a map.

If you run a shop anywhere in Thailand and want a verified listing, it is free. Reply in your shop's thread or post in the contact board with your shop name and phone number.
Questions for readers:
Would a verified label change which shop you pick, or do you only trust member reviews?
What information do you want on a shop listing that is usually missing elsewhere?
Have you ever been misled by a paid review site, and what gave it away?
