Bangkok Expat Forum - Bangkok Expatriates Living / Beware of tourist booking offices (TiBO) or at least listen carefully
« on: December 01, 2012, 01:43:10 AM »
Hi everybody,
if people in the streets of (mainly) Bangkok seem awfully friendly than you should be on your watch. My travel buddy and I made this experience and ended up with two weeks complete tourist program. Well, you get where you want to be (at the beach or in the mountains,...). We felt so lucky that we only negotiated bits of the program suggested and the price. Well as we are on holidays we naturally are happy for any support. An these agencies give you at least an idea about what there is to do if you are more ore let prepared. Basically they make up a price per person for a travel package. But please check prices, ask how they they came up with the packaging price and it can definitely help to have checked some prices before yourself (e.g. I have checked prices from BKK to Chiang Mai it was 60-80 EUR, at the agency the ticket was 20% more expensive).
Save and enjoyable trip
