Tour Guide:
Often locals with intimate knowledge of an area, its culture, and history. Their role entails providing commentary, routing the tour, and seeing that people have a good time. They are a licensed, qualified expert who supplies specific information on the history, art, architecture and culture of the city/village/attraction where they are guiding the tour. The guide meets the group at the required place and leaves it at the end of the tour; they do not travel with the group.

Tour Leader:
An experienced person tasked with ensuring the smooth operation of tours, as well as providing practical support to passengers throughout the whole trip. Their role primarily includes assisting with accommodation, transportation between locations, and communication with tour guides at each stop. A tour leader may provide general guidance around a city or village and offer information on the place visited on the bus. However, they are not required to have specific art, architecture, or historical knowledge. They are not allowed to provide a guided tour or commentary of a city/village/attraction once there and, if caught doing so, can be fined.

Please note: Tour leaders/guides are not a standard inclusion in all travel offers. Tour leaders/guides will only be made available when required to enhance the experience of the destination featured.

CLIMATE & AVERAGE TEMPERATURES
Phuket experiences a tropical monsoon climate with warm temperatures year-round. The weather can be divided into three main seasons: dry, hot, and rainy.

Dry Season (November to February )
Average Temperatures: 23°C to 31°C
This is the most pleasant time of the year, with lower humidity and plenty of sunshine. Cool breezes and calm seas make it ideal for beach activities and outdoor adventures.
Hot Season (March to May)

Average Temperatures: 25°C to 34°C
The hottest period in Phuket, with higher humidity levels. Afternoons can feel particularly warm, but evenings are often cooler. Occasional thunderstorms bring brief relief from the heat.

Rainy Season (May to October)
Average Temperatures: 24°C to 32°C
Also known as the monsoon season, this period sees frequent rain showers, often in the afternoon or evening. While it may rain heavily, sunny intervals are common. The seas can be rough during this time, so caution is advised for water activities.

A moderate level of fitness will be required.
Expect a moderate pace of touring with a focus on guided tours that may include full days with extended activity, guided city tours or nature walks. You will require a general level of fitness for unassisted navigation of stairs and inclines, longer distances with possible periods of standing when visiting sites, walking on sloping, uneven ground or elevations. You will be responsible for your own luggage and have the ability to board all modes of transport without assistance. Please note: Many areas may be inaccessible to wheelchairs or mobility scooters, where the unassisted use of personal walking sticks and other aids may be required. Although some assistance may be available, every traveller should be self-reliant during all aspects of their travel.

The overwater bungalow accommodations feature pathways that may become slippery and require good balance to navigate. This package also includes boat trips aboard traditional long-tail boats, where boarding and disembarking involve stepping onto a moving vessel from a jetty, necessitating careful balance.

Please note: It is expected that every traveller must be self-reliant and able to undertake all aspects of their own travel. Please speak to your booking agent about your personal circumstances and any assistance requirements to ensure this tour is right for you.

Important:
• Please start arranging your visa three weeks before departure to account for any delays due to consulate operating hours.

• It is also important to note that some areas of employment, such as journalism, government authorities and charity organisations, may have additional restrictions in applying for visas. This may, in turn, affect the type of application required.

Embarking on your next trip is exciting, and while you hope the unexpected does not happen, it is best to be prepared. We strongly recommend you take out travel insurance when making your booking.
