Question 1

How do Thai freelance videographers manage client bookings and deposits?

Accepted Answer

Most Thai freelance videographers manage bookings through LINE messages, Facebook DMs, and Instagram comments, which creates a chaotic workflow where project details get lost, dates overlap, and clients ghost after holding a shoot date for weeks. Suriya replaces this with a structured booking enquiry system where clients select their shoot date, location, video style, duration, and budget range in one submission. Every confirmed project requires a deposit via PromptPay or credit card before the date is locked in your calendar. You set the deposit amount — fifty percent of the quoted price is standard, or a fixed minimum of three thousand baht. This eliminates the biggest revenue killer for freelance videographers: blocking dates for clients who disappear without paying.

Question 2

Can I show my videography portfolio on a branded website without coding?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Describe your work categories to your AI agent and it builds a professional portfolio site organised by project type — weddings, corporate promos, event recaps, social media content, music videos. Each project card includes a thumbnail, embedded video player, duration, brief description, and a direct booking enquiry button so potential clients can submit a brief immediately after watching your reel. The portfolio loads fast on mobile with optimised video embeds. You update your portfolio by chatting with your agent — add new projects, reorganise categories, or feature seasonal work like year-end corporate recap reels. No design skills, no WordPress plugins, no monthly hosting fees beyond the three hundred forty-nine baht Suriya plan.

Question 3

How does delivery tracking work for video projects?

Accepted Answer

After the shoot, update project status from your dashboard through each phase — footage logged, rough cut in progress, colour grading, sound design, final review, and ready for download. Clients check their private project page anytime instead of messaging you repeatedly asking when their video will be ready. Upload draft cuts for client review with timestamped commenting so they can give feedback on specific moments rather than vague notes like make it feel more energetic. When the final edit is approved, upload to a private download page with resolution options and expiry controls you define. The client receives a LINE notification the moment their final video is ready for download. No more Google Drive permission headaches or expired WeTransfer links.

Question 4

What happens if a client cancels after paying the deposit?

Accepted Answer

You define your own cancellation and refund policy, which is displayed clearly during the booking process. Most Thai videographers use a tiered policy — full refund if cancelled more than fourteen days before the shoot, fifty percent refund between seven and fourteen days, and no refund within seven days of the shoot date. Suriya enforces these windows automatically based on the project date. When a client cancels, the system applies your policy without you needing to negotiate or chase refund conversations. For rescheduling, you can offer date changes within a window you define, keeping the original deposit intact. This protects your time and prevents the common scenario where clients keep pushing dates back indefinitely.

Question 5

Is three hundred forty-nine baht per month worth it for a freelance videographer?

Accepted Answer

One ghosted client costs you an entire shoot day of lost revenue — typically five thousand to thirty thousand baht depending on your package rates. The deposit system alone pays for years of Suriya from a single prevented no-show. Beyond deposits, the operational efficiency gains are significant: structured booking briefs eliminate the thirty-minute back-and-forth per enquiry where you reconstruct project requirements from scattered messages, delivery tracking stops the constant status-check messages that interrupt your editing flow, and your professional portfolio converts website visitors into booking enquiries at a higher rate than a YouTube channel or Instagram grid. Videographers using Suriya report seventy percent fewer admin messages and double the repeat client rate within the first three months.
