Buy a piece
The most direct support: claim something from the shop. Each sale funds more sourcing trips and more research.
Support
Keep the guide free and independent
The Phuket Thrift Guide, the map and the tools are free, ad-free and cookie-free. No paywall, no sponsored shops, no tracking. Keeping it that way is the whole point — here's how you help.
Why it stays free
Most local directories rot in two ways: they sell placement, or they sell your attention. We do neither. That means the guide can only grow as fast as one person can research it — which is slow, but honest. See how this started.
Ways to support
Spread the word
Follow @ossuaryatelier and share a guide page or a tool with someone coming to Phuket.
Send a lead
Know a shop, stall or market we've missed? Tell us — the best entries in the guide came from people who live here.
Tip jar
Everything here is free and ad-free. If a guide page or the game was worth your time, a tip goes straight back into sourcing trips and research — the easiest way right now is a DM: send a tip via Instagram. A dedicated tip account is coming.
Sponsor a page
For brands whose audience overlaps with ours — secondhand, vintage, travel, Phuket — there is one sponsor slot per page: a small, disclosed badge. It never buys a ranking, a review, or a word in the guide. It keeps the lights on and the research funded.
Roughly where the site stands today: ~1,000 visits a month from ~15 countries, 76 pages across the guide, map, tools and journal, and about 2,200 search impressions a month — mostly from the US. Numbers are early and grow weekly.
What support never buys
It never buys a spot in the guide, a good review, or a say in what gets listed. The directory stays ours to keep honest — that independence is the only reason it's worth reading.
