    Could you please let me know how many people are currently registered for this tour?

      Traveler•Written January 2026

      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

      The group will be the same for the whole trip

    • M

      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.

    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.

    My son is 10 years old. Can he travel with us? Does he pay full price if we share a triple room?

    Age Range
    Tour Details
    • G AdventuresOperator•Written January 2025

      Im sorry the minimum age for most of our trips is 12+. You could have a look at the National Geographic Family Journey, which would have a younger minimum age range.

    Asked on January 12th, 2025

    Is it safe in sharing room with same gender? Is the cost cheaper for room? How much is the cost of shared room?

    Accommodation
    Price / Availability
    • G AdventuresOperator•Written January 2025

      We believe that travelling by yourself shouldn't be more expensive. We treat single travellers the same as the rest of the group, which is why we don't charge single supplements. We'll partner you up with a same-sex roommate to ensure you pay the same as everyone else. Don't want to share a room? No problem. Sometimes it's just more convenient and comfortable to have your own room, which is why we offer single travellers a "My Own Room" option—a single room all to yourself at a great G Adventures price. Solo travel that is female-friendly. Our small group tours are perfect for helping solo female travellers feel safe anywhere in the world we visit. If you have any questions, our CEOs are ready with tips on how to respect cultural traditions or local dress. Use free time to explore your way, or maybe someone from the group (or your same-sex roommate) will want to tag along.

    Oliver

    Asked on December 17th, 2024

    Is it possible to customize the tour itinerary?

    Tour Details
    • G AdventuresOperator•Written December 2024

      Customizations are limited but possible for certain aspects of the tour like extending your stay or choosing optional activities. Please discuss your preferences with us to see what can be accommodated.
