** See the description on this page or itinerary if available and published Cancellation Policy for exhaustive details. Price is set with deposit, otherwise is subject to change at any time. Please Note: Although this trip is designed for students, it is well supervised and chaperoned by our staff. Classes are not taught by just anyone--they are all taught by Certified and recognized Master Instructors. All of our guides are professionally licensed and insured by the Thai Government. Most if not all are Thai Citizens with college degrees in related Humanities. This is NOT a classic budget trip/carry your own food sleep where you can/ get by as best you can (maybe) type of excursion- which some other less experienced agents may be offering. Do not settle for less than the best! If they are offering free accommodations or travel, you can bet there is some corner cutting somewhere!
All programs require advance registration of 60 days minimum. Less than 60 day registrations are considered late registrations and subject to additional fees. Programs including airfare cannot be guaranteed at the advertised price with less than 60 days advance, due to incresed base for airfares. We are happy to quote late or last minute registrations when available.
If your considering another excursion ask them do they provide bonded, licensed drivers, do they provide their own vehicles? Do they expect you to share bathing and shower accommodations? Do they guarantee exactly who all staff are and their level of professional certification? Are they insured? Will an owner of the company be accompanying the group and will there always be someone available to translate as necessary? We do cover all of these issues and more. With over twenty years experience in Thailand and the local first class resources that we have developed we can guarantee a great experience. And a SAFE ONE!
