The tentative programme will be as follows:

Booking:

Contribution of THB 36,000, with the option of a single room surcharge for THB 10,800. Should you choose to arrange your own accommodation the contribution will be THB 26,000. Please be informed that the contribution should be made to the SEACHA account, kindly follow the following payment instructions: Please pay by cash or cheque payable to “Southeast Asian Cultural Heritage Alliance”. Transfer or remittance can be made to the Southeast Asian Cultural Heritage Alliance account at TMBThanachart Bank (ttb), saving account no. 909-2-19074-4. SWIFT Code TMBKTHBK. Kindly note that the foreign bank charges or bank remittance fees should be paid by the Applicant/Sender, the payment should be in full amount with “Thai Baht” only. Your reservation will be confirmed as soon as the payment has been made and for those who reserve your seat in advance, we kindly request you to make a payment 45 days before the start of the trip (i.e. by Monday, 23 September 2024). Once payment has been made, please send the deposit or transfer docket to studytrips@thesiamsociety.org.

*Please always check the email address before you reply, if it is a reply to tss@thesiamsociety.org, kindly change the address to studytrips@thesiamsociety.org. 

Inclusions:

• The contribution includes accommodation (double sharing basis) at the Hilton Grande Asoke Hotel, meals as mentioned in the programme, transportation and sightseeing cars, entrance fees, gratuities, and other costs incurred to make this trip possible.

Exclusions:

• The contribution excludes all air tickets from the country of origin, transfer car from/to the airport, foreign bank charges or bank remittance fees, visa fees (if any), dinners on days 2 and day 4, personal expenses, personal food and beverage consumptions, etc.

Please note that the Hilton Bangkok Asoke Grande Hotel has been selected as the group hotel, due to its convenient proximity to The Siam Society, where each day’s tours will depart from, and for its quality and price.

Trip participants wishing to arrange alternative accommodation near The Siam Society may do so but must make their own reservations (the cost of the Hilton Grande of THB 10,000 will then be deducted from the total trip contribution owed by the participant). For more inexpensive accommodation, we suggest the FuramaXclusive Asoke Bangkok Hotel, where rooms run around THB 1,800 per night per room (approximately USD 50)

Cancellation charges:

*The cancellation charges will also depend on the date we pay the deposit to the hotel and services. If we have to pay those costs before the 45-days prior to the start of the trip, our officer will send an email to inform every participant before we make the payment as only a partial amount of the payment can be refunded after that point.

Covid-19 policy

Due to a lower number of worldwide infections, many countries have relaxed their travel restrictions and quarantine requirements regarding Covid-19.

Nevertheless, when travelling as a group, The Siam Society would like to remind you of the following measures that we have put in place:

– We suggest performing a self-administered ATK test before the commencement of the trip. Participants can also carry ATK test kits, along with their preferred set of medicines (for consumption if infected with Covid-19) with them.

– In the event that trip participants test positive during the trip, the group will continue to follow the planned itinerary. To ensure the health and safety of all trip participants, those who test positive shall adhere to appropriate self-isolation measures as directed by the trip leader.

– Those tested positive with severe symptoms shall be treated in accordance with the health measures stipulated by the local government. Medical costs shall be at the expense of the trip participant(s).

For further information and bookings, please contact Khun Thun at 02-661-6470-3 ext 205, or studytrips@thesiamsociety.org. The Society’s office is open from 09:00 to 17:00, Tuesday to Saturday.
