5. Booking the tour (our tour selection and other)

Do you make decision yet what are you going to do when visit Bangkok and Thailand by cruise? Book the trip with your cruise operator, your travel agency or arrange by your own.

As a tour operator , we would like you to book the tour with us directly. But we know this may sound too promotional for you. How ever as a professional, we recommend to book with reliable tour operator which LJ Biz is on of the tour service. Since it is cheaper and more flexible than the tour which operator by the cruise operation.

How to find the reliable tour operator?
1. Ask google or other search engine
2. Go to trip advisor or cruise critic to check the feed back
3. Send enquiry to check their respond
4. Ask if they can provide the good quality tour guide for your group. Tour guide is a key factor to make the trip success and happy or fail.
5. Make sure the are licences company which you can see from the registration with tourism authority of Thailand.

Well, it is a little work for you. But this is worth to spend your time with.

Can you arrange trip by your own?
1. If you arrive the port and you have one day stay on board, you have only two choices. One is book with the cruise another is book with non-cruise operator
2. If you do not leave the port, and you want to be in Bangkok or other area for a couple days. we highly recommend you use join transfer of the cruise to come to town since private service by cruise is quite expensive. Then you can relax, shopping or do thing on your own when you are in town.
This is list of activities that you might want to do.

4. Chose of tour ( join cruise tour / private tour)

It is better to plan head before you select cruise excursion do you like. It can separate into many category but in this topic we are going to pros and cons of join (bus) and private cruise excursion.

The factors to select private or join tour is consist of

1. Your budget >> The join tour rate normally cheaper

2. Places of interest >> Join tour is ready made tour program it may not fit your need.

3. Your duration of stay >> If you have other destination to go such as go back to airport for connect the flight, private tour may better for your need.

1 Join tour operate by cruise ship. Price is range from 39 - 100 USD . The cheapest one is just taxi for transfer only. But if you land at Leam Chabang , the cruise excursion rate may start from 70 - 150 USD since the distance is 2 hours away from Bangkok.

It is depend on the type of activities you select , cruise line as well as distance.

2. Private Tour

Operate by Cruise line. It trend to be more expensive which range from 200 -500 USD / day / person for excursion activities. You will be around with private guide and driver. Some cruise line also provides very unique excursion for example traveling by helicopter trip to Kanchanaburi to visit tiger temple.

Operate by local agency . You Can also book private tour by local agency which can give a very reasonable price. You can find a good reputation from http://www.cruisecritic.com and trip Advisor for check about review from other tourist. LJ Biz is also listed in Trip Advisor. You can also see the pictures or read some testimonial from our site. Click here.

Trick to make private tour cheaper. We have one client they ask about trip for 2 persons since they want private tour. But the price is more expensive than what they can pay. So we recommend them to make some friend and contact us during they on the cruise. They finally found 4 more people to join and turn out to get cheaper rate than join tour which sell from the cruise excursion , more fun than since it is smaller group and meet more new friends.

This is just a guideline , we wish this is help you to plan the trip better. If you has ever have a chance to visit Bangkok, Chiang mai , Phuket and Pattaya, please do not forget to contact us.
