By this time most people will feel quite safe and at home in
Bangkok. Should you wish to stay a few days longer, it's a wonderful and exciting city to experience.
The itinerary will be fairly flexible, should you wish time on your own, or want to do a yoga class or more Thai cooking, etc - it can be arranged.
We'll have a buddy system in place, where we each have a friend to keep an eye on, should they not turn up for a meeting or get lost. Then the buddy can just let the guide know.
We are all grown up and relaxed, and aim for each of us to have a wonderful experience, so please do join us!
