easy. Just complete and send the reservation form
making sure that you have given us your e-mail address
and a valid credit card.

all request within 24 hours (this time may be longer
during high season, fair periods or special
events).
Making a reservation through
Thaitourinfo.net requires payment with a credit
card. Please read our Deposit and Cancellation
policy before making payment.
Due
to our high volume of reservations, our consultants
are unable to do individual availability checks for
clients. We only perform hotel reservations. To make a
booking, you must submit a reservation form and
provide your credit card details. Then we will check
availability with the hotel and revert.
Can I make a
reservation directly through the hotel
?
The special rates listed are
only available through our service. If you would like
to make a reservation directly with the hotel you will
need to contact them directly.
What if the
hotel that I selected is not available
?
You will be notified via an
e-mail (within 24 hours after placing your order) and
you will not be charged.
We will do our best
to suggest you an alternative hotel.
What is the
latest time that I can make my reservation
?
Even if we accept all bookings
that are made on the check-in date, we can only
garantee bookings made at least 2-working days (not
including Sunday and Public holidays) before the
check-in date (if the hotel has not already been fully
booked). Any the earlier you book, the better chance
you have to get a confirmed reservation.
How far ahead
can I book? Can I book say 12 months in advance
?
You can book say 12 months in
advance, but please ensure you remember you have made
the reservation. During the reservation process, you
will be offered to receive a reminder for your
convenience (a month, 15 or 7 days prior
checkin).
Note that you credit card will be
charged when you receive your email confirmation.
Can I specify
my room preferences (preferred floor, non smoking
room,...) ?
If special requests
are accepted by the lodging, a section will appear on
the Reservation Form to insert such requests and
submit them to the hotel. The hotel staff will do
their best to accommodate special requests. We cannot
guarantee that your requests will be granted because
they depend only on the hotel availability.
To complete a reservation for
someone else, simply type in his or her name instead
of yours for guest name. Use the billing address for
the credit card you are using as the address. Don't
forget to use your email address to receive your
confirmation information.
Reservation
requests will result in a new screen showing your
booking's status. Additionally, all reservations will
be followed up within a few hours with emails to
confirm your booking or suggest you alternative
solutions if the hotel has been fully booked.
What sort of
acknowledgement will I receive when I book a hotel
room ?
When the booking is
confirmed (by email and SMS if you request so), the
payment will be processed. A hotel voucher will be
sent directly to the hotel which you made a
reservation with. You will also be able to print
your reservation confirmation voucher that you may be
asked to present front desk upon checkin. Generally,
you only present your identification to the hotel
reception when you check in.
Once the
room is confirmed, we will send you by email a
confirmation voucher detailing all the reservation and
price conditions. We invite you to make printout of
this voucher to be kept and presented at the time of
your check-in. Your voucher will be accompanied by a
booking confirmation number; make sure to have it in
hand upon arrival.
How do I know
if my hotel reservation is confirmed
?
We will send you a
confirmation email. We can also send you a message by
SMS (Short Message System) directly to your mobile
phone if you request so during the reservation
process. This email will include a voucher
containing the dates and details of your reservation .
Note that the voucher attached to the mail must to be
kept until you arrive at the hotel.
Please note that
refunds will be made in the form of a credit to your
card account.
All credit card refunds will be
processed in a timely manner. The refunds process is
dependent on your billing cycle with the credit card
company. Once the refund instructions leave our office
it can take anywhere from 15-45 working days for the
proceeds to arrive in your account.
The policy regarding child
reductions varies from hotel to hotel. Where these
discounts apply, they are passed on to you. This can
be verified on the hotel booking detail screen where
the booking total is confirmed prior to payment being
taken.
How much is charged
for children staying with their parents
?
Usually children under 12 years of
age stay for free in their parent's room using the
existing bedding. The age requirement differs
depending on the specific hotel's policy. This may be
listed on the Hotel Lodging page. The general
policy concerning the charging of room an breakfast
charges for children traveling together with their
parents or family is as follows. Children more than
12 years of age: Any child this age is considered an
adult by the hotel industry. Normal charges will apply
both for the room and the breakfast. The child
supplements will apply to children between the ages of
2-12 years (unless a different age range is
specified). They only apply in twin or double
rooms. Child supplements will not be available if
the child age is not specified at the time of booking
and we will charge for three adults in a triple room
if this information is not supplied. Free cots for
babies are only suitable for children under 2 years
old.
Please be
aware that some hotels, foreign and domestic, may have
minimum age restrictions or requirements when
reserving a room. Please inquire with the hotel
directly.

The
quoted room rate is per room per night. The rate will
reflect the number of persons you entered on the

person and it's for two people if you selected two
people.

My credit card
number is correct, but it is not accepted. Why
?
There are a few
possibilities:
- Your card type is not accepted
at the hotel. - The card expiration date precedes
the reservation date. - You have reached your
credit limit. - There is a computer error.
Why is the price
different to when I last checked ?
A
part from changes that may be made to reflect market
conditions, the prices are shown in the currency
requested by the user and these are subject to
currency fluctuations. Therefore there may be slight
variations in price on a daily basis that will reflect
any movement in the currency exchange levels. Once a
booking has been created however, the currency
exchange rate for that booking is fixed as those at
the booking creation date, even if further items are
added to the booking. Most importantly, the prices
include service charges, local taxes and in many cases
breakfast.

this service but it is often free for hotels close to

loss or damage to personal baggage and loss of money,

illness or other insurance risk.
Our Special
Internet Rates save you money. Because of the large
number of lodging reservations we process, we are able
to negotiate special rates with the properties
directly. These rates are lower in most cases than the
normal rates you could receive by contacting the
property simply because of our buying power. To secure
your reservation, we require up-front payment with
your credit card. This ensures you have a room when
you arrive so you are not "bumped" or
"overbooked."
Booking a room with our Special
Internet Rate gives you both savings and security. You
can't beat that!
