Booking, Cancellation & Refunds

Written in plain English, because you should know exactly where you stand before you book.

Last updated 1 August 2026 · JTTT Travel · TAT Licence 21/01119
These terms apply to bookings made directly with JTTT Travel — on this website, by email, or by WhatsApp. If you booked through Viator, GetYourGuide or another platform, that platform's own cancellation terms apply instead of these.

Day tours

Chiang Rai 7 Highlights, Trekking 1 Day, Trekking 2 Days 1 Night day departures, Private Set 1, 2 and 3, Private Taxi Tour, and bespoke day trips.

There is nothing to pay when you book.
You pay your guide or driver on the day, in cash or by transfer. So if your plans change, a cancellation costs you nothing at all.

Being ready for pickup

How pickup works depends on whether your tour is shared or private.

Tour typeWhat to expect
Shared (join) tours
Chiang Rai 7 Highlights, Trekking
Pickup is a time window, not a single minute — 08:00–08:30 for the 7 Highlights tour and 09:00–09:30 for trekking. We collect several hotels one after another, so please be in your lobby from the start of the window and wait until we arrive. We cannot hold the whole group for one hotel.
Private tours
Private Sets, Taxi Tour, bespoke and multi-day
Your vehicle comes at the exact time you agreed with us. If you are not there we wait 10 minutes and try to reach you. After that the driver has to move on to keep the rest of your day on schedule, and the booking is treated as cancelled.

Multi-day tours

Chiang Rai → Chiang Mai 2 Days 1 Night, Chiang Rai Trek & Temples 2 Days 1 Night, the 3-Day Chiang Rai Private Tour, and the 6-Day Grand North.

These need rooms booked and paid before you arrive, so we ask for a deposit to hold your dates:

Deposit = the actual accommodation cost for your dates, with a minimum of 30% of the tour price.
If the rooms for your trip cost more than 30%, the deposit is the real room cost — never more. We are happy to show you the accommodation invoice at any time. The balance is paid during the tour.
If you cancelDeposit refunded
30 days or more before departure100%
15 – 29 days before50%
7 – 14 days before25%
Less than 7 days before, or no-showno refund
Before any of that — just ask us to move your dates. Changing to another date is free at any time while space is available, with no fee and no limit on how far ahead you move it. Most guests prefer this to a refund, and so do we.

Your money is protected

JTTT Travel Thailand is licensed by the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT Licence 21/01119) as a general tour operator. Under Thai law that licence requires us to lodge a security bond of ฿200,000 with the Department of Tourism, held specifically to compensate travellers if we fail to deliver a tour we have been paid for.

What this means for you — you are not relying on our goodwill alone. Our licence is public, our bond is held by a government department, and any traveller can make a claim against it through the Department of Tourism.

If we cancel

If JTTT Travel cancels — weather or road conditions that make the day unsafe, a vehicle problem, or anything else on our side — you choose: a full refund of everything you have paid, or a free move to another date. This applies however close to departure it happens.

If the weather turns during a tour we will change the route rather than cut your day short, and we will tell you honestly when a highlight is not worth the drive that day.

How to cancel or change a booking

WhatsApp +66 95 221 2251 or email jttt.travel@gmail.com.

We reply within one hour between 07:00 and 21:00 Thailand time (GMT+7). Where a refund is due it goes back by the same method you paid, within 14 days.

Prices and what is included

All prices are shown in Thai baht and include everything listed on the tour page — hotel pickup, vehicle, driver and English-speaking guide, plus entrance fees, meals and accommodation where the page says so. Anything not listed is not included.

Our guides speak English. We are happy to plan your trip and answer questions in Spanish, Italian, French or Dutch by message, but on the day itself the tour is guided in English. We would rather tell you now than have you find out at the pickup point.
