Okay, that's the official stuff over with... here are a couple of notes, which can be found elsewhere on the site as well...

You need to provide us with the full passport name, passport number, gender, and nationality for everyone in the group. This is a legal requirement and the information must be sent to the Tourism Authority of Thailand within 24 hours of departure.

We organise Public Liability insurance for each person, but recommend you have your own comprehensive travel and medical insurance while you are on holiday. In the event of an emergency we will take you to Overbrook hospital, which is a private hospital in Chiang Rai town.
