Booking Terms and Conditions:
To make a booking, you must be at least eighteen years old. By proceeding with a booking, you acknowledge the obligation to provide accurate and comprehensive information. Furthermore, you confirm that you possess the requisite authority to accept and consent to the terms outlined in these booking conditions. This includes the responsibility for payment on behalf of all participants involved. When making a booking, please furnish us with the following details: the chosen tours or package tour programs, desired start date (including day, month, and year), total number of participants, full names of all participants, preferred room type, any additional requirements, flight details (airline name, flight number, arrival and departure dates and times), or comprehensive travel details if traveling by bus or other modes of transportation. Upon receiving this complete information and confirming your booking, we will proceed to secure hotel accommodations in each city as proposed. Simultaneously, we will send an email and an invoice indicating a non-refundable deposit amounting to 30% of the total cost. Upon the successful receipt of your payment confirmation, we will proceed to confirm your booking. Subsequently, a tour booking confirmation and other essential details will be shared with you via email. The remaining balance can be settled in two ways: you may opt to make a prior bank transfer or choose to settle the balance in cash upon your arrival in Thai Baht or any foreign currency. In the case of payment in foreign currency, refer to the baht exchange rate at that time. Please note that if the deposit payment is not confirmed by the specified date as indicated in the invoice, we reserve the right to cancel the booking without prior notice. We are committed to facilitating a seamless booking process and ensuring a rewarding travel experience. If you have any questions or require further assistance, please do not hesitate to get in touch. Your satisfaction and enjoyment are of paramount importance to us.
Important Note:
Kindly take note that the availability of the proposed hotels will be subject to a limited time frame subsequent to the initial presentation of our proposal. It is important to understand that we cannot assure the availability of these hotels until we have successfully secured the booking subsequent to your acceptance of our proposal. In the event that any alterations transpire in this regard, we will promptly inform you about alternative options and seek your consent before proceeding to finalize the booking. Your satisfaction and comfort are our priorities, and we aim to ensure that any changes align with your preferences and are mutually agreed upon.
Choose Your Own Hotel:
While all the tour packages showcased on our website encompass accommodation, we understand that you may have preferences for different hotels. Should you desire to lodge at a hotel distinct from the ones featured in the tour package, kindly share with us the chosen tour package and specify the hotel name for each city, your preferred room type, the quantity of rooms required, and any additional specifications you may have. Upon receiving your particulars, we will proceed to assess the availability of the requested hotel rooms and ascertain the feasibility of accommodating any other specific requirements you might have. It is important to note that modifications such as changing hotels, adjusting the number of rooms, or introducing other requisites could lead to a revision in the tour package price. This adjustment would be contingent upon the pricing of the selected rooms and additional services at the chosen hotel. Rest assured, prior to confirming any hotel reservations or additional services, we will promptly communicate to you any changes in the tour package price resulting from your requests. This transparent approach ensures that you are well-informed and enables you to make an informed decision before finalizing any adjustments to your booking.
Tours Exclude Accommodation:
If your preference involves exclusively availing our tour services, encompassing transportation to various attractions, provision of knowledgeable tour guides, inclusive lunches, and admission fees to the attractions, and you opt not to utilize the accommodation provided in the tour package, you have the flexibility to secure your own lodging arrangements. This can be achieved in conjunction with any of the tour packages highlighted on our website. To proceed with this arrangement, kindly specify the name of the desired tour package and any additional requisites you may have. We will then promptly provide you with the pricing details for the chosen tour package, exclusive of accommodation charges. This approach ensures a seamless experience, granting you the freedom to handle your lodging arrangements while seamlessly enjoying the comprehensive tour services we offer.
Payment Method / Bank Account Information:
In terms of payment methods, we currently only facilitate transactions via bank transfers. We acknowledge that for some individuals, this might pose an inconvenience, and alternative payment methods may be preferred. Regrettably, at present, we do not offer any other payment options beyond bank transfers. Regarding bank accounts, it’s essential to note that while we are a licensed tour operator sanctioned by the Department of Tourism of Thailand, we operate within the legal framework set forth by Thai regulations. However, it’s important to clarify that we are not registered as a corporate entity. Consequently, all financial transactions are conducted solely through direct transfers to the personal bank account of the business owner, rather than a designated company account. We recognize that transferring funds to personal accounts might raise apprehensions for some individuals, who may prefer to transact with a company account for added security. Unfortunately, we must emphasize that this alternative is not available, and transferring funds to a personal bank account remains the sole method of payment we offer. It’s important to be mindful that international bank transfers typically incur transaction fees imposed by financial institutions, for which you will be responsible. Additionally, please consider that the processing time for such transfers usually ranges from 3 to 4 business days for the funds to reflect in our bank account after completion. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in adhering to our current payment procedures. Should you have any further inquiries or require assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.
Trip Cancellation / Change Travel Date / Deposit Refund Policy:
Please be advised that your trip booking deposit is non-refundable should you decide to cancel your trip, irrespective of the circumstances. Altering your travel dates may impact the availability of hotel reservations. While we will make every effort to reschedule your existing booking with the hotel, it may not always be feasible. If we are unable to secure a postponement and must cancel the reservation, a refund may not be possible. In such instances, if a new booking becomes necessary, you will be liable for any additional costs incurred. Furthermore, if the original hotel room we reserved is unavailable for your revised travel dates, we will inform you prior to making arrangements at an alternative hotel. It will be your responsibility to accept the substitute hotel and cover any associated extra expenses. By proceeding with the booking, you acknowledge and agree to the aforementioned terms, including the non-refundable nature of the deposit and the potential obligation for additional costs in the event of date changes. Your understanding and acceptance of these terms are appreciated.
Refund policy for unused portion of package tours and itinerary change conditions:
Please note that we adhere to a policy of no full or partial refunds for unused or altered components of the package tour, including accommodation, meals, sightseeing tours, or other included services. This policy applies if a traveler decides not to utilize these services or modifies, cancels, or adjusts arrangements once the package tour has commenced. In cases where circumstances beyond our control necessitate changes to the itinerary or the inability to fulfill certain services after the commencement of the package tour, such as due to events like earthquakes, fires, floods, adverse weather conditions, natural disasters, or other force majeure events, we retain the right to implement reasonable modifications to the itinerary. Our utmost effort will be directed towards arranging suitable alternative services whenever feasible. It is important to acknowledge that any additional costs arising from such alterations will be your responsibility. Conversely, any resulting cost savings will be reimbursed to you. Should you choose to decline our alternative service proposal, we are not obligated to provide refunds for fees associated with unfulfilled services. We remain committed to ensuring your travel experience is enjoyable and well-organized. For further information or clarification on our policies, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. Your understanding of these terms is greatly appreciated as we strive to offer a comprehensive and transparent travel arrangement process.
Children’s Policy:
We welcome children under three years of age to stay free of charge. Typically, accommodations are arranged on the basis of sharing existing beds within an adult’s room. Should an additional bed be required, kindly inform us during the booking process, as this may involve supplementary costs. For children aged three to six years, a charge equivalent to 50% of the adult price applies when sharing a room with an extra bed in an adult’s room. Similarly, children between the ages of six and eleven will incur a charge of 70% of the adult price when sharing a room with an extra bed in an adult’s room. It is important to note that children aged twelve and above will be subject to the adult price. Your family’s comfort and convenience are essential to us, and we strive to provide a comprehensive pricing structure that caters to your specific needs. If you require any further clarification or have additional inquiries, please don’t hesitate to contact us. We are committed to ensuring that your family’s experience with us is both enjoyable and well-suited to your preferences.
Dinner:
Our thoughtfully designed tour packages encompass breakfast and lunch, ensuring your essential meals are taken care of. However, dinner is intentionally excluded from our offerings to grant you the opportunity for personal time. We encourage you to venture out and immerse yourself in the local ambiance during the evening hours. This allows you the freedom to discover the distinctive local lifestyle, indulge in a range of native delicacies, or relish your preferred dishes at your leisure in each city you overnight. To facilitate your exploration of the vibrant night scenes, we provide a nightly shuttle service from your hotel to various nightlife attractions. These attractions could encompass bustling shopping districts, captivating walking streets, and enticing restaurants. Should you wish to avail of this service, we kindly request you to schedule your preferences and inform your tour guide about your daily requirements. Our intention is to offer you a well-rounded experience, balancing guided tours with your independent exploration. This flexibility enables you to tailor your evenings according to your tastes and interests. For further details or to discuss your preferences, please don’t hesitate to communicate with us. We are committed to ensuring that your journey is enriched with authentic experiences and cherished memories.
Special Request:
For any specific requests you may have, such as special meals, dietary needs, adjoining rooms, or specific accommodation requirements, we kindly request that you communicate these preferences to us at the time of making your reservation. Your satisfaction is important to us, and we strive to accommodate your individual needs. It’s important to bear in mind that these requests are contingent upon availability and will be confirmed by our team. While we make every effort to fulfill your requests, certain factors beyond our control may impact their feasibility. Your comfort and enjoyment are our primary concern, and we appreciate your understanding as we work diligently to ensure your preferences are met to the best of our abilities. Should you have any further inquiries or require assistance, please feel free to reach out to us. We look forward to creating a tailored and memorable experience for you.
Optional Activities:
Activities that are offered as optional and are not covered by the tour price are considered separate from the tour package and its associated contract. It’s important to understand that any support or guidance provided by our tour guides or other activity providers in facilitating these optional activities does not render us liable for these activities in any capacity. Please acknowledge that any arrangements made for optional activities do not establish a contractual obligation between us and these activities. The contractual arrangement for the provision of such optional activities rests solely between you, the participant, and the respective activity provider. We encourage you to exercise your discretion and make informed decisions when partaking in optional activities. While our team is here to assist and facilitate, we want to ensure clarity regarding the independent nature of these activities and the related agreements.
