Our tour leader will meet you in the hotel reception at 6pm for a welcome meeting, and for those who wish, there's the option to go out for dinner afterwards.
You're free to arrive in Bangkok at any time. If you'd like an airport transfer today, you'll need to you arrive at Suvarnabhumi International Airport (BKK), about an hour from the hotel. If you miss the welcome meeting, the tour leader will fill you in on any essential details when you catch up.

Our sixth Explore! trip proved to be another triumph. Superb tour leader (Duan) and good local guides, with good itinerary expertly overcoming local Thai / Cambodia border dispute travel difficulties. Largely flat cycling routes incorporating interesting off the beaten track exploration. Updated accommodation good all round with excellent Smiling Gecko Farmhouse Resort a highlight. Can’t fault Duan for his leadership of an excellent group of like minded travelers through three countries with humor and superb all round knowledge. Never try, never know!
Great trip with lots of excellent cultural content. Local staff superb. Pace of trip just right, with just enough downtime.
A great group of people. Modifications were made to the itinerary due to the Thai-Cambodian border dispute and this turned out not to be the trip we had originally signed up for. Leaders and guides were very pleasant and helpful. Some great experiences on the trip.
