Things to know before purchasing a tour package

     For both Thai and international travelers, tour operators and tour companies are familiar faces. These firms offer various forms of services, ranging from packages starting in the tens of thousands to those costing hundreds of thousands. Currently, both domestic and international tour operators are emerging in greater numbers than before, increasing the risk of encountering "ghost" tour operators that appear only on the surface. Therefore, before choosing to purchase a tour, everyone should thoroughly research the information before making any payment.

1. Check the registration of the tourism business on the website www.dot.go.th.
2. Check the history of any complaints against the tour operator through the tourism hotline, +66 2401 1111, available 24 hours a day.
3. Do not purchase tours priced below cost.
4. 1Avoid purchasing tours with itineraries planned too far in advance.
5. Always request a receipt from the company after every transaction.
