More details in the "about us" section. |
| Q. |
I see other operators on the
net, are they involved with your operations and what about their prices? |
| A. |
We are completely independent
and our rates, service and commitment to quality are second to none. With over
16
years in the business we are able to guarantee the lowest rates on the net. |
| Q. |
So you are actually based in
Thailand? |
| A. |
Yes, our geographic location
helps up keep abreast of the latest happenings in travel. This is completely
different from booking from your downtown travel agent who would naturally have
less knowledge of facilities and hotels. We are here 365 day a year and all of our
profits go straight back into the local community. |
| Q. |
Can I book ahead, I plan to
come next year? |
| A. |
We can take bookings up to one
year ahead. |
| Q. |
Do you arrange sex tours? |
| A. |
Absolutely not, we fully support
the current "Say no to Child Sex" campaign and will not make any
arrangements concerning sex tours. |
| Q. |
What about conference
organising? |
| A. |
Yes, we do plenty of that, check
out the hotel sections for more details and function room capacities. Email us for
more specific requirements. |
| Q. |
What other things do you do? |
| A. |
Educational travel, unique elephant
conservation trips, sports tours, conventions, hotel
wholesale, air and travel ticketing, train travel, full day tours,
and trekking amongst other things. |
| Q. |
Is travel the only business
you are interested in? |
| A. |
It is our main business. We also
are heavily involved in elephant conservation and are the owners of "Elephant
Nature Park". In fact our travel business is more of a means to finance
these activities. When you use our company you are actually putting something
back. |
| Q. |
What credit cards do you
accept? |
| A. |
Visa and
MasterCard. |
| Q. |
What about sending my
card-number via the net? |
| A. |
We have
our own secure server and recommend that you use this for
payments. Mastercard holders can also fax the details to us if
preferred. |
