Asked on December 16th, 2024Can I book a Family Tour if I’m not traveling with a child?
Explore!Operator•Written December 2024Family Tours are specifically designed for families traveling with children. Unfortunately, these tours are not available for booking if you are not traveling with a child. This ensures the experience remains focused on creating a family-friendly atmosphere and catering to the needs of young travelers and their families.

Asked on March 17th, 2023Can you please confirm whether we could modify this tour by doing just the first few days then head from Kwai to Phuket for some days at the beach, either finishing in Phuket or travelling back to Bangkok to fly home?
- Explore!Operator•Written March 2023
The earliest time to leave the tour is on the thirteen day of the itinerary. I can check with our product team if there is a possibility to leave the groups earlier but we will not be able to modify or refund a part of the tour.
