Care is taken to ensure that, if possible, you are allocated to a room with a person of the same sex.

Our tour participants come from all over the world! On our trips, you will meet adventurers from different countries and cultures, which makes every tour a unique and enriching experience. This diversity makes for exciting conversations and new friendships that last beyond the trip.

As a rule, 20-30% of participants come from German-speaking countries. Other frequent countries of origin are the Netherlands, Italy, Sweden, the UK, Australia, Brazil and Japan.
Can I get in touch with participants before the tour starts?
Yes, you can get in touch with other participants before the trip via various online platforms. You will be given access to these platforms after your booking or around 4 weeks before the start of the tour. This allows you to exchange ideas in advance and maybe even find travel partners for the journey!
Do I have free time during the tour?
Yes, the tour offers a good mix of included activities and free time. You have the option of doing something either with the other participants or on your own. The guide always has great tips for your free time. If you don't want to take part in an activity, that's no problem. Just let the guide know. This way, you can organise your trip entirely according to your wishes.
Do I need to speak good English to take part in the tour?
Don't worry if your English is not perfect. The tour guides are used to working with participants whose native language is not English and will adapt accordingly. There are also often many participants from German-speaking countries, which can make communication easier.

You can find more useful information on this topic in our BLOG.
I have dietary requirements and/or allergies. Can you cater for these?
Yes, that's no problem. You will be asked about your dietary requirements during the booking process. We can cater for various dietary requirements such as vegetarian, vegan, lactose-free and much more. Our guides are also trained to look out for allergies and take appropriate precautions. So you can enjoy your trip worry-free!
Do I need a visa for Thailand?
German, Austrian and Swiss nationals do not require a visa for a stay of up to 30 days. It is important that the passport is valid for at least six months upon entry. Nationals of other countries should enquire about the specific visa requirements at the relevant Thai ministry or at the Thai embassy in their home country.

Entry requirements are subject to change. Please check the current regulations under the following links or with your respective ministry before travelling:

German citizenship

Austrian citizenship

Swiss nationality
Do I have internet access while travelling?
Yes, most accommodation offers fast Wi-Fi access. You can also buy a SIM card or eSIM to stay connected while travelling.

If you would like to secure eSIM access before you start your journey, you will find a link to our partner airalo under the link HERE.

So you're always online and can share your experiences!
Is there an age limit for this tour?
There is no fixed age limit for this tour. This tour is active and suitable for adventurous participants of all ages. Children over the age of 12 can participate if accompanied by someone over the age of 21. We want to ensure that all participants are able to take part in the planned activities and get the most out of their travel experience. Whether you are young or young at heart, as long as you enjoy exercise and new adventures, you are very welcome!
Which travel insurance policies are compulsory or recommended?
Travel health insurance is compulsory on this tour to protect you. This can already be taken out at a reasonable price. We also recommend taking out travel cancellation, trip interruption and baggage insurance. These insurances offer you comprehensive protection and security during your trip.

You can conveniently calculate and take out these insurance policies online via our partners. You will find the corresponding link HERE.
How much pocket money should I take with me for the trip?
We recommend a budget of around €30-60 per day for this tour, depending on your personal expenses. Additional costs may include some meals, drinks, souvenirs and other personal expenses. It's always a good idea to plan a little extra to stay flexible and cover unexpected expenses.
How do I get cash or pay while travelling?
It is best to take a Visa or MasterCard debit or credit card with you. A “normal” debit card will also work at most ATMs. There are many ATMs on site where you can withdraw cash. We also recommend taking a small cash reserve with you and exchanging it locally. We advise against exchanging into the local currency in advance or at the airport, as this is usually associated with higher fees. Your guide will be happy to give you tips on the best places to withdraw or exchange money.

For cash withdrawals abroad, we recommend a DKB debit or credit card. You can find a link and more information HERE.
What luggage should I take with me?
We recommend travelling with a rucksack and packing light! 10-20kg should be enough. It's usually quite hot and it's no fun lugging around a huge suitcase. You can do your laundry or have it done for little money in most accommodation.
However, if you prefer a suitcase, that's no problem. You are also welcome to travel with a trolley or suitcase. The important thing is that you feel comfortable and can transport your luggage easily.

If you are still looking for suitable backpacks, you will find HERE our recommendations.
Do I need any special vaccinations?
There are no compulsory vaccinations for this trip. However, we would like to point out that we are not allowed to make any vaccination recommendations. It is important that you speak to a doctor to find out which vaccinations are recommended in your particular case. Your doctor can give you the best advice to ensure that you are healthy and safe when travelling.
What are the rebooking and cancellation conditions for this tour?
* Free change (subject to availability and at the same tour price) or conversion to a “Lifetime deposit” with G Adventures/TruTravels, up to 35 days before the start of the tour.
* Cancellation fees in the amount of the deposit up to 35 days before the start of the tour, thereafter full tour price.

Requests for changes or cancellations must be made by email to info@triplanet.com.

These conditions ensure flexibility in travel planning and at the same time offer security for last-minute changes or cancellations.
Will I receive a guarantee certificate for my trip?
Yes, together with the invoice you will receive a security certificate for your trip. This security certificate guarantees that the money you have paid is secured in the event of triplanet's insolvency. So you can book worry-free and look forward to your adventure.
Is the international flight to and from the tour included?
As the group participants are travelling from many different countries, the flights to and from the tour are booked individually and are not included in the tour price. We will be happy to create and send you a suitable flight offer. Simply make a non-binding enquiry or let us know in the notes when booking and we will send you a flight offer once your booking has been finalised. This way you can ensure that you get the best possible flight for your needs and that your journey goes smoothly.
