    I loved the tour. I loved our guide, Meow— she was incredibly attentive. Only change I would have made is to do tour of Bangkok ( reclining Buddha) on first day & added one more day in Chiang Mai. Along with option to depart from Chiang Mai to next destination or end your.

    Asked on June 22nd, 2024

    How much is the surcharge for the single occupancy individual since we would not wish to share a room with other travelers

    Price / Availability
    Single supplement
    • The single supplement is an additional $429 USD

      Confirm that someone will pick us up at the airport and transfer us to the hotel, departure also

    • E

      Erica

      TravelerWritten June 2024

      Is it possible to add a couple of days on at the same hotel in Bangkok prior to the actual tour starting, and if so how much extra per person per night would that be

    • E

      Erica

      TravelerWritten June 2024

      Would we be able to arrange spa sessions once we got to the hotels or would that need to be set up in advance

    • E

      Erica

      TravelerWritten June 2024

      On the last day in Chang Mai, I believe it is a free day. We would very much like to set up a day trip to the eco lodge/elephant sanctuary. Is that something we could set up through you or the hotel inn Chang Mai

    • An arrival transfer is included in the cost of the tour, and you can add on any extra accommodation (up to 5 nights each side), and a departure transfer for an extra cost. The spa can be arranged locally with the hotel/tour leader but we do not have any suppliers for an elephant sanctuary unfortunately, this would have to be arranged at your own expense

    Jeff

    Asked on April 12th, 2023

    I'm thinking of booking a trip to Thailand (8-day tour from Bangkok to Bangkok) and would like to confirm if there is a possibility to consider food intolerances (I have a lactose malabsorption and a fructose malabsorption). Lactose is probably a minor issue for Thai food since dairy is not widely used. I usually stay away from sweetened beverages, fruits, and all sweets so all good here. Traditional Thai food should be OK since the amount of sugar used is typically low. Just want to make sure that the options at breakfast and other meals include water and at least 1 savory dish (as opposed to only sweetened beverages and cakes/fruits). Please note that vegan options often do not work for me because they tend to be higher in fructose content due to a higher amount of vegetables (and often fruits) used. I'd be happy to provide a list of safe foods or any further guidance if needed.
