    • G AdventuresOperator•Written February 2026

      This tour is On Request, meaning that our local office must check availability with all components of the tour, such transportation and accommodation.

      In order to begin the request process we must collect full payment in advance, the request process itself can take up to 5 working days.

      If it is not available, you will be issued a full refund of any pre-authorised funds. It is important that you understand this process may not be interrupted by a request to cancel as doing so will not entitle you to any refund.

      Could you please clarify whether these eleven participants form a fixed group for the entire week, or if the group composition changes at any point, for example through mixed tours?

    • G AdventuresOperator•Written January 2026

      Martin

      Traveler•Written January 2026

      I recently reviewed the Bangkok to Chiang Mai Express and was ready to make a booking. The promotion advertised a starting price of USD 899, and the single room was listed at USD 1,079. However, when I proceeded to book, the price suddenly changed, and the single room is now showing as USD 1,278. I would like to understand why the price increased so unexpectedly.

    • G AdventuresOperator•Written January 2026

      Thank you for notifying us. We can create a quote/ hold for you and would be able to give you accurate pricing. Please confirm the departure date you are looking at?

    Harry

    Asked on September 12th, 2025

    I'm interested in this trip for my family of 4, but my you gest will be almost 11 next summer. Is that OK? She is well traveled. Also, if prices are based on double occupancy, is it possible to plan for a room for 4 of us? I probably wouldn't be able to afford full price for each.

    Accommodation
    Age Range
    Price / Availability
    • G AdventuresOperator•Written September 2025

      On our Classic tours, we will allow passengers to book who are 11 years and 9 months as of the first day of the tour, but no lower than this. Prices are not based on double occupancy, they are the same per person, whether booking as a single, twin, double, triple etc. The only difference is when a single would like a room of their own, they can pay an extra cost.

    Gail

    Asked on April 1st, 2025

    is it possible to see Hellfire pass instead of other activity?

    Tour Details
    • G AdventuresOperator•Written April 2025

      Hellfire Pass is a couple of hours from Kanchanaburi. This would be possible on Day 3 (your full day in Kanchanaburi), but you would miss sightseeing at Erawan Falls and the Bridge on the River Kwai. The additional cost for Hellfire Pass would also need to be covered by you.
