    • Remember that temples are sacred places and you must dress appropriately. Shoulders and ankles need to be covered (for both men and women). No shorts, leggings, ripped jeans, slippers (flip-flops), or revealing tops, otherwise entry will be denied.
    • Bangkok's traffic is often heavily congested. As our tours run on a group basis, we can wait a maximum of 10 minutes after the scheduled meeting time. After this grace period, the guide will begin the tour. If you cannot make it on time, please let us know before the tour starts. If possible, we’ll do our best to reschedule you for the next available time slot or day, though a rescheduling fee will apply. No refund will be provided in case of late arrival.
    • Cancellations made at least 24 hours before the tour start time are eligible for a full refund. For cancellations made less than 24 hours in advance or in case of no-show, no refund will be issued.
    • Our tours operate rain or shine, as tropical rain showers in Thailand usually don’t last long. If it rains heavily, we try to seek shelter and will continue as soon as the weather improves. During the rainy season, it’s a good idea to bring a raincoat or poncho. Please note cancellations due to weather are not eligible for a refund.

    Tour Guide did not show up. Is this a scam?

    Francisco_A, Nov 2025
    Very bad! Tour guide did not show up at all at the designated meeting area. I waited for another 20 minutes, but still, no one showed up. My vacation was ruined. Terrible!

    Response from Host, Nov 2025

    Dear Francisco, We are very sorry for the inconvenience you experienced. We can confirm that the issue was entirely our fault. Your booking was mistakenly not added to our internal booking system, which meant the guide was not informed of your reservation. We fully understand how frustrating this must have been and sincerely apologise. Our team works hard to prevent errors, but when human beings are involved, mistakes can unfortunately occur from time to time. What I genuinely do not understand is why you believe this was a scam, since we provided a full refund. In a scam situation, this would not have happened. This was a regrettable human error, nothing more. Again, our apologies for the inconvenience caused, and we hope the rest of your time in Thailand was enjoyable. Best regards, Dave
