25 euros per dinner will get you a ton of food, and about as much wine as it’s possible to drink.
Sounds intriguing, but I’m just not that flexible / I’m too old…
We have an answer to that too; definitely “hogwash” !! ? Purely the physical side of yoga has been proven to be an amazingly effective form of physiotherapy, for even serious injuries, strokes, etc. As for the mental & spiritual component – yes, it IS as intriguing as it sounds. Give it a go…
I’m not into photography, my partner is – can I still come on the trip?
Of course! You don’t need to be in to photography to come sailing with us, and there’s plenty of activities for you to enjoy while the class do their thing.
Do I need a visa for Thailand?
For most countries, you can get a visa-on-entry which is valid for 30 days. If you wish to stay longer, you can extend this visa by another 30 days by visiting a local immigration office, and paying 1900 baht (plus often half a day of your time).
If you want to stay longer, you can apply from your home country and get a 60 day tourist visa. This can then be extended for another 30 days (with ditto time & money involved as above).
Please note, your passport must be valid for 6 months AFTER your overseas travel is completed.
Do I need travel insurance?
It has always been our very, very strong recommendation to take out travel insurance.
Some “soft adventure” companies have long made it mandatory; we do not want to be dictatorial, but our realistic point of view is that you never know what will happen, whether it’s for personal reasons or things happening in the world that make you change your travel plans. Therefore our very VERY strong recommendation is to get a travel insurance.
The optimal travel insurance is “Cancel For Any Reason”. It does mean literally that – because you had a bad week at work, or you broke a fingernail. But you must take this out very soon after paying your first deposit – between 7-21 days (policy dependent). Please be sure to read all the small print; policies can differ widely. It is more expensive than other options, but in our experience during the Covid pandemic to name an example, they were the policies that paid out in the end.
Happy Hours onboard – SE Asia
The crewed yachts on our site have a very relaxed drinks policy. A few even throw in a starter Happy Hour on the first night, to get everyone thoroughly into Holiday Mode! After that, you are welcome to BYO drink onboard, or else buy supplies from the boat.
A few boats have “honesty bars”; with others, you can order your favourite tipple in advance, and if it’s available – it will be waiting for you onboard. The price of drinks purchased onboard is NOT “loaded”, as with some boats where your wonderfully relaxed holiday ends with a sour note at an unexpectedy huge bar bill!
It’s our No Surprises policy; we want you to eat, drink and be merry without worrying what the final “damage” will be!
