What this site is for
RuamThai is a travel portal for visitors to Thailand, bringing you the latest entry and visa updates, travel guides and Thai news. Exchange rates and weather are shown as a single answer at a glance, and detailed comparison and booking are available on our service sites (exchange.ruamthai.com and hotel.ruamthai.com).
Where the data comes from, and how often it updates
The figures and news on the home page are fetched from the following sources each time the site is rebuilt. They reflect the moment of publication and are updated regularly.
- Exchange rates: fetched from the public API of exchange.ruamthai.com. The latest values are retrieved on every site update; if a fetch fails, the previous values are shown as they were.
- Weather, PM2.5 and UV index (Bangkok): fetched from the public API of rain.ruamthai.com. The latest values are retrieved on every site update; if a fetch fails, the previous values are shown as they were.
- Thai news: headlines, links and publication dates only, aggregated from the RSS feeds of five Japanese-language news sites covering Thailand (Thailand Hyperlinks, newsclip, Asia Travel Note, Tourism Authority of Thailand, Nikkan Thai News). We do not reproduce or generate article text; every link opens the original story on the publisher's site. Feeds are cached for 1 hour, and the past 60 days are archived and shown newest first.
Editorial policy
- For news we publish only the headline and a link. We do not summarise or generate article text.
- Guide articles state the sources they draw on within the text.
- Rates, temperatures, PM2.5 and similar figures reflect the moment of publication.
