Brian
Asked on January 27th, 2025I am confused as to what the Local Payments are for as additional amounts, could you explain please
Explore!Operator•Written January 2025The cost of the trip on our website includes everything detailed in the itinerary. It does not include international flights. The only extra costs would be for any optional excursions - as detailed in the day to day itinerary. Also we only include breakfast so you are liable for the cost of lunches and dinners and again in the Trip Notes we give a rough idea of what these prices would be. We detail the costs of the optional excursion and lunches and dinners in the Budgeting and Packing section of the attached Trip Notes - the prices are given in local currency for the optional excursions - Thai Baht. You would also be liable for any visa charges if applicable.
