Deposits & Payments

We require a deposit (as listed on the individual tour pages) or full payment in order to reserve a place for you on a tour.

We regret that we cannot be held responsible for incidental/consequential costs or expenses you may incur as a result of any changes or cancellations. No compensation is payable for minor changes.

Any damages/injuries incurred that are attributable to your own actions, acts of some other party unconnected with the contract services or where the damage/injury results from events/circumstances which our outside our control and could not be reasonably foreseen.

For damages where ThailandBiking is responsible, our liability is strictly limited to twice the total price of the tour. In booking a tour with ThailandBiking you, the client, are agreeing to these terms and you accept this limit on our liability. This limit allows us to keep the prices of our tours as low as possible.

Vouchers are transferable, and are issued with a 6 month period of validity made clear at the time of issue. Vouchers cannot be extended under any circumstances.
• Where monies are held in lieu of cancellation charges payable, the credit will be converted to a voucher immediately.

Tour Authority

Upon signing up for a tour you must agree to accept the authority of the tour leader who is the representative of the company. The tour leader should be regarded as the same as a “ship’s captain” or an airline’s “Pilot.”

At all times the authority of your tour leader will be final when concerning matters likely to endanger your own health or safety or in regard to behavior or ill health that is causing or is likely to cause danger, distress or disturbance to the group and the well-being of the tour. If your tour leader has found you to have behaved in a way that disrupts or impacts other clients’ experience, in a way that is threatening or abusive to other tour participants or tour staff, in a way that puts other tour participants or staff in danger, or in a way that is illegal or violates the laws of the country in which the tour is operating, the tour leader and the company reserves the right to terminate your participation on the tour. Failure to abide by the authority of the tour leader could result in legal proceedings and the immediate termination of your participation in the tour without recourse.

In such circumstances we reserve the right to terminate all travel arrangements without liability on the part of the company. You must always comply with the local law, customs and drug regulations of the country. Failure to do so may lead to you being ordered to leave the tour without recourse to any refund or any legal claim against the company. In the case of ill health the company and its operators can make those arrangements that it sees fit and recover all monies paid from the client. The person who signs the booking form (which incorporates these conditions) warrants that he/she does so, with full authority on behalf of all those whose names appear thereon, and confirms thereby that all such persons accept and are fully aware of these conditions.

No refund will be given for non-utilized services, however if we are able to obtain a refund ourselves for these services we will endeavor to pass these on to the client less reasonable administration charges.

Surcharges

ThailandBiking pledges never to increase the tour price except under exceptional circumstances for those that have previously booked the tour. Circumstances of this policy include: government action or legislation that directs the company to increase prices.

Clients will be notified of any price increase at least 4 weeks before departure.

Tour Inclusions

Services provided as part of each tour are listed in detail on each tour web page. Excluded services are not included and ThailandBiking cannot be held responsible for costs incurred during the tour outside of specified trip inclusions.

Trip inclusions including meals, accommodation, transportation services, activities, and all others specified apply to the ThailandBiking customer for which they have been booked. The shared use of trip inclusions by persons other than guests with full booking confirmation and payment is not allowed and guests found to be in violation of this will face immediate termination of their tour participation without recourse.

Flights or Delays

We will not accept any liability for any delay in your outward or inward flight/s, whether the cancellation or delay is caused by the weather, airline rescheduling, industrial action or mechanical failure. We will give no refunds or compensation for lost time and services from the itinerary.

Complaints

Should you have a complaint or require assistance while on tour, you must notify your tour leader and email our Customer Support Team at info@bangkokbiking.com at the earliest opportunity, so that they can do what they can to immediately rectify it.
