Q. Are you a licensed Touring operator?
A. Yes, we have been licenced by the Tourist Authority of Thailand since 1988. Our licence number is 23/0037. We
have been operating tours and treks since 1988..
Q. How do I book a tour with you?
A. Simply follow the "booking" link at the
top of each page. This takes you to our on-line form, after completion we will then send
confirmation to you and details of your trip. We accept Visa,
MasterCard and American
Express. You can also book by phone or fax. The numbers appear at the bottom of each page.
Q. Can your guides speak English and tribal languages?
A. Naturally, they are all trained at the University and have Tourist Authority
certificates and badges. Some of them come from the tribal villages themselves so their
work helps them to financially support their communities.
Q. How long have you been operating Tours?
A. Since 1988. We were one of the first companies in the country with qualified guides
showing trekkers the wonders of the area.
Q. How big are your groups?
A. Around eight - ten persons. Larger groups are also catered to.
Q. What is suitable ages for Touring?
A. Any age really. We can provide tours for visitors according to fitness level if necessary.
Q. What is the best time to go?
A. Anytime of year is fine. Have a look at our weather
pages from the home page for more details about the rainfall and climate in the area.
Q. How do you price your tours?
A. Our trip rates are worked out according to the types of adventure in the
itinerary and value is always emphasised. Visited tribes derive direct income from our company
that helps to sustain their communities. Whilst we are certainly not the cheapest tour
operator our rates emphasis value and quality. With tours working out around US$35 per
day including accommodation, food activities and in the company of a professional Touring guide we think you will agree that this is a very cost
effective way to enjoy a totally new and unique experience.
Q. After my tour I want to go to the South to lay on a beach. Can you arrange
this?
A. Thaifocus can arrange flights, trains, hotel accommodation, car rentals and
Indo-China visa's. This translates to a simple and convenient way to organise your entire
trip. As we live here we can give you the most up-to-date information available, help you
with your plans and make suggestions based on your criteria. Click here for details
Q. I have to be back early to catch a 5pm flight can you get me back in time?
A. We cannot guarantee it unless you take a half day or private tour. Traffic, a slow raft or elephant may make it difficult to get back
early. We also do not want to rush the other guests so it is necessary to organise a
private trek. Even then we recommend that you stay one more night in Chiang Mai.
Q. What if I have to cancel?
A. Please see the booking confirmation email that you receive at the time of booking. We will try to be as flexible as we can with cancellation fees but
note that we must cover costs incurred in the event of cancellation.
