Common questions about this trip

  • Do I need a visa for Thailand?
    Visas are your own responsibility, most Western passports get a visa exemption on arrival, but check the rules for your nationality well before you fly.

  • I'm travelling solo, is that normal?
    The majority of every group is solo travellers aged 18-40. You land with an instant crew and a group leader from airport pickup.

  • Is travel insurance required?
    Yes, compulsory, and you'll show proof to your group leader on arrival. We can point you at backpacker-friendly policies.

  • What's the cancellation policy?
    Dates or tours can be changed free up to 30 days before departure, and changes inside 30 days may incur a fee. If you cancel 30 or more days out, you can keep 100% of your payment as credit, or take a refund of 75% of the tour value. Inside 30 days the operator retains the full amount. Wanderlust handles the refund for you, refunds mirror the operator's terms 1:1 (including if the operator cancels) and we chase it on your behalf.
