Editorial Policy

Editorial standards

Nakbit is Thailand’s motorcycle directory. Our editorial work covers buying guides, insurance explainers, route reports, and reviews of bikes, dealers, and events that ride here. We publish in English and Thai, with each piece reviewed by a bilingual editor before it goes live.

Sourcing

Every guide cites the primary source where one exists. Government regulators (the Department of Land Transport, the OIC for insurance, the Royal Thai Police for traffic enforcement), manufacturer spec sheets, dealer-direct pricing confirmation, and on-the-ground reporting from riders we know. When a number, rule, or claim is materially time-sensitive (licensing rules, insurance pricing, tax treatment), we note the date the figure was last verified and the source of record.

We do not republish translated articles from other publications as our own. Where we draw on a third-party report, we link out, name the publisher, and limit our use to a fair-use excerpt with our own commentary on top.

Fact-checking

Numerical claims (prices, displacement, fuel economy, road-tax brackets) are verified against the source of record before publication. Anonymous tips and reader submissions are not treated as authoritative unless we can independently verify them. If we cannot verify a claim that is central to the article, we either drop it or label it as unverified with a clear disclaimer in the body.

Author roles

Bylined writers are listed on each article and on a dedicated /authors/<slug> profile page (E-E-A-T author signal). Every post is checked by an editor before publication. The author and editor are different people. Sponsored or paid placements run under a separate “Partner” label that appears above the headline and in the JSON-LD; sponsored content is not part of the editorial pool.

Update cadence

We refresh year-sensitive content (licensing rules, insurance pricing, financing rates) at least once a year and on every material regulatory change. Evergreen articles are reviewed at least once every twelve months. When we materially update a published article, we bump the visible “Last updated” line on the page and the structured dateModified field in the BlogPosting JSON-LD so search engines see the freshness signal.

Conflicts of interest

If a writer has a personal or commercial relationship with a dealer, brand, manufacturer, or insurer that is the subject of an article, that relationship is disclosed at the top of the article. Nakbit accepts loaner bikes for review purposes only; loaners are returned and our coverage is independent of whether the manufacturer is happy with the review.

Marketplace listings come from third-party sellers and dealers. Pricing in those listings is not editorial content. Nakbit takes no commission on listing transactions.

Corrections policy

If you spot an error, write to corrections@nakbit.com with the article URL and the problem. Substantive corrections (numbers, names, attributions) are noted at the foot of the article with the date and a one-line summary of what changed. Typos and copy fixes are not noted unless they materially altered meaning.
