Availability of travel arrangements and accommodation has not been checked and is not guaranteed with this offer. We can confirm availability after we have received and processed your booking.

 

 

Payments

Payments can be done by money transfer to one of our bankaccounts in Thailand or Europe (the Netherlands). Amounts in THB (Thai Baht) or USD (US Dollar) need to be paid to our Thai bankaccount. Amounts in EUR (Euro) need to be paid to our Dutch bankaccount. For payments in EUR or USD the invoice amount, corrected according the below mentioned exchange rate clause if applicable, is the amount that need to be transferred to our bank account.

Bankcosts and other costs for international money transfers that your bank will charge you are not included in our prices. These costs are for you.

 

 

Credit card

Payments can also be done by creditcard. In that case a surcharge of 6% applies. If you want to pay with creditcard then please let us know. We will then send you a hyperlink to our secure site, where the payment can be made.

 

 

Exchange rate clause

Our prices are principally in Baht and we prefer that payments are made in Thai Baht to our Thai bankaccount. We offer the possibility to pay in Euro or USD as an additional service and at the actual exchange rate on the date of payment, because effects of exchange rate fluctuations are not included in our prices. All amounts in Euro are valid for payments on days that the exchange rate is 40 Baht per Euro or higher. All amounts in USD are valid for payments on days that the exchange rate is 32 Baht per USD or higher. For payments on days that the exchange rate is lower than these values, the amounts need to be recalculated as follows:

Corrected amount in Euro  =  40 / exchange rate on day of payment  x  Quoted amount in Euro

Corrected amount in USD  =  32 / exchange rate on day of payment  x  Quoted amount in USD

Prices in Thai Baht are NOT subject to an exchange rate clause. If you prefer, then you can always pay in Baht to our Thai bankaccount.
