Most "what's on" sites just scrape RSS feeds. We don't. Every event on events4pattaya passes through a 7-tier automated defense, and the ones marked ✓ Verified have been personally confirmed by the editor.
Only event-shaped feeds. General news feeds were dropped after they leaked too many crime headlines.
Titles or bodies containing crime, accident, politics, or scam phrases get rejected immediately. 90+ patterns.
Hotel "celebrate the festive season" promos and "is pleased to announce" announcements are NOT events. 50+ phrases blocked.
Real event headlines have a date marker (month name, numeric date, or temporal keyword like "tonight"/"this weekend"). Generic news headlines are dropped.
Press releases default to "happening today" because their published date is today. We only accept that fallback when the title clearly says so.
Every imported event must hit 5 of 6 quality signals: real time, real price, specific venue, image, full description, source URL.
After each crawl, events scoring below threshold are automatically hidden. Verified events bypass.
A ✓ Verified event has been individually checked by our editor. Venue, date, time and price have been confirmed against the official source. These events bypass automated filters and are shown first on every list.
Other Pattaya tourism sites can syndicate our editorially verified events via RSS. The feed contains only events we have personally confirmed — no scraped news, no press-release fluff.
