My airport pick up time is incorrect.  Please change to the following: 

 

Pick up at Phuket airport -   Scheduled to arrive in Phuket at 4 p.m. on Feb 15  flight Bangkok PG0585.  Please change pick up time to 4.30 p.m. NOT 2 PM.  

 

Hotel to Airport  - Air reservations from Phuket to Bangkok not made yet.  However, it will not be March 5th but few days before.  I fly out of Bangkok on March 5th at 11:45 p.m.  

 

Please email or text me the number of the airport shuttle in the event I do not get my luggage and have to stay in Bangkok on Feb 15th.  I am traveling alone and all will still be on the boat.  I will need to contact shuttle service for cancellation and to reschedule. 

 

Brenda Kelley

Is the flight number correct we have PG0285, you say PG0585?

My arrival information is correct. However, Lori and I arrive on the same flight on Feb 7 (FD 3091, arriving at 12:45 PM), so I am assuming we can share the shuttle to the group hotel.

My departure information is correct.

Thanks.

The hotel was notified of the error this morning. They have corrected the transfer manifest.

My transfers are NOT correct.

What you have:

Shelley Feb18 - 7Q Bangla Hotel Feb28 - Naiyang Discovery Beach Resort, Sa Khu (Thalang) - this is in their normal return area and will not incur a charge

 

CORRECT:

Shelley Feb17 - 7Q Bangla Hotel Feb28 - Naiyang Discovery Beach Resort, Sa Khu (Thalang) - this is in their normal return area and will not incur a charge

*** I arrive in Phuket at 12:20am on the 17th and will need a transfer to the group hotel.

 

 

I believe my hotel setup is correct with me sharing a room with Laura on 16-17 & 17-18.

The following airport transfers to KhaoLak Resort have been arranged by the hotel KhaoLak Resort. 
 
Lori FD3091 07 Feb 12:45am Phuket (HKT)  
Martin FD3029 07 Feb 11:05am Phuket (HKT)  
Kamala  EK396 05 Feb 11:00pm Phuket (HKT)

Joseph  TG215 07 Feb 3:25pm Phuket (HKT)  
Sara  CN0821 06 Feb 12:40am Phuket (HKT)
 
These require no extra documentation to use. A driver will be waiting for you at the exit in Phuket with a sign with your NAME ON IT!!!
 
The following airport transfers to 7Q Bangla Hotel ARE BEING arranged by a private transfer company as the hotel is too expensive - NOTE WE NEED FEEDBACK FROM EVERYONE BELOW:
 
 
Transfers to and from 7Q Bangla Hotel have been set up but have not been finalized since they are nonrefundable. As soon as we hear back from everyone below they will be set up and paid for. PLEASE REPLY BACK AS QUICKLY AS YOU CAN SO KAMALA CAN FACILITATE PAYMENT before she leaves Feb 3, 2018. Each confirmed reservation will require a pdf file that must be presented to the driver at the airport exit so we must get you these pdf confirmations by email before you leave. Therefore, we MUST get these booked ASAP. Below is the list of transfers we plan on booking at this time. If any of this is wrong then your transfer will be wrong as well. We were not originally doing transfers back from the boat but currency issues made us reevaluate that. We are prepaying for the transfer back to the airport now.  We are still trying to finalize some of your return flights so we do not have everyone's transfers back from the boat set up. WE ARE GOING TO SET UP WHAT WE HAVE ASAP with you help! :thankyou: SEE

HOTELS FOR BOTH TRIPS BOTH BEFORE AND AFTER:

 

FINAL HOTEL UPDATE
 
WEEK #1: The Retreat KhaoLak Resort remains as originally set up. Transfers from the airport are being provided by the hotel and we have you checked into rooms as follows. PLEASE ENSURE THE ROOMING IS CORRECT:
 
WEEK #2: The Silver Resortel did not have enough availability for everyone by the time we finalized info from everyone so we had to find another hotel. We chose a similar hotel in the same area that had plenty of availability, similar facilities, larger rooms, and decent reviews. That hotel is called "7Q Bangla Hotel" in Patong. We made reservations there yesterday AND WE MADE ARRANGEMENTS FOR TRANSFERS for everyone as per the transfer part of this post. PLEASE ENSURE THE ROOMING IS CORRECT:
 
The following is a list by day of rooms we have booked for you. We will bill you for these rooms if you don't tell us to cancel them.

Tours
 
Several people are staying with me until Mar 5th and we are flying out of BKK on the 5th. My initial plan is to stay in Phuket for a couple of days after the trip doing an amazing elephant trip and Fantasia Dance Show & Troupe then head to Bangkok and staying 3 nites with 2 full days of activities and then fly the 5th. If ANYONE else wants to participate in ANY of these let me know and we can help you set it up. We have to hurry...I leave Feb 4th early so need to have set up by this Saturday.   I WILL POST ALL OF THIS NEXT!!! :thankyou:
 
 
How To Pay for Hotels and Transfers
 
You will find a spreadsheet of what each of you owe for your hotels and transfers below. Please bring a check with you and pay me at the hotel or on the boat. Please make the check payable to Kamala Shadduck as the business accounts are in Texas with no branches in FL nor SC. :thankyou:
 
Attention Lori and Kim... we do not have numbers for what the boat will charge for your special transfers. They are working on that right now and we will have extremely last this evening.

I was able to change the departure flight from Phuket to Bangkok on Sunday December 18 to a later flight.

 

Now on Thai Airways TG 216C 18FEB SU HKT-BKK 425P  550P.

 

So the Dis-Embarkation Transfer can be moved to a later time.

Not really an option.  We have been that route with Pam and Martin.  Their response is to change the flight to be earlier in the day.

 

Everybody leaves the boat at 10am, including Kamala who will have to reboard at ~6pm for week 2.  I booked the transfers that I did for about 4 hours before flight time so you really are not far off from everyone else.  Phuket is a major attraction in Asia and it is High Season there. 

 

You can always book your own if you want but you will be on the pier at 10am.

Pier Change Between The Weeks

 

The boat sent this email last night.  It will not impact any transfers they have set up.  They gave no explanation why.

 

"Please note that there will be a small change in itinerary and the first cruise will finish in Chalong instead of Patong and will start from Chalong instead of Patong.

Transfers are still organised just as my final transfer mails sent, so nothing changes for the guests (Kamala will need to disembark and embark as agreed, only change is that her stopover is in another area)."

Yes sorry that's what I meant - it originally said "04:00" so now no really early departure for me just the normal 10 am one.
