What are the "upfront" costs for?

Re the last day in Chiang Mai ...is it possible to fit in/pay for a half day elephant visit?

Would it be possible to extend their stay in Phuket for two more days? Can you please quote them for this? What is the rainfall in Phuket in late November? Would it be possible to have just 4* hotels accommodation?

We can assist with post-accommodation at the SAi Languna Phuket Hotel at a rate of £69 per person, per night, sharing. We only offer 4 to 5* accommodation with Trafalgar. The Phuket weather in November is more comfortable and not too hot. The average temperature this month is 28.4 degrees Celsius. The average November air humidity is approximately 85%. The average rainfall in November is lower than in October (only 200 mm). There are about 15 sunny days.
