Trip Preparation
Do I need a visa?
Thailand: For most travellers, Thailand is a very easy country to visit with a simple āVisa on Arrivalā process. This includes a long list of different countries* including; the UK, USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Scandinavia and most of Europe. The āVisa on Arrivalā allows you 60 days when entering Thailand by air. If you donāt qualify for the āVisa on Arrivalā, you can apply for a visa here.
Vietnam: For some, Vietnam is a very easy country to visit with a simple āVisa on Arrivalā process for nationalities such as the UK (not including Ireland) and a few other countries. The āVisa on Arrivalā allows you 45 days when entering Vietnam. If you need longer or your passport doesnāt qualify for the āVisa on Arrivalā, you can apply for a visa for upto 3 months online or at your local Vietnamese embassy. Itās always a good idea to apply for a visa if youāre unsure of your plans to give you the opportunity to stay longer. Be sure to do your own research, as each country/passport will have different entry requirements, and the rules can often change. It's your responsibility to ensure you've ticked all the necessary boxes to enter Vietnam hassle-free.
Bali: For most travellers, Bali is a very easy country to visit with a simple 'Visa on Arrival' process. There are over 40 countries eligible to travel to Bali through the VOA scheme, and the visa can be obtained on arrival for a small fee. Be sure to do your research as each country/passport can have different rules. It's your responsibility to ensure you've ticked all the necessary boxes to enter Bali hassle-free.
*You must check your visa eligibility as we are not visa experts. The information above is general in nature. Hereās a blog that we put together to help; āAn Unofficial Visa Guide to Asia & Australiaā.
What vaccinations do I need?
Similar to visas, we are not medical professionals and would hate to give you false or misleading information. We recommend you book an appointment with your doctor or local pharmacy to discuss your travel plans and what precautions you need to be aware of. They will provide up-to-date official guidance and will no doubt have your vaccination and immunisation history on file. All destinations and areas we travel to are generally low risk but best to be on the safe side. Click here for a useful resource provided by the UK NHS website.
Is travel insurance compulsory?
Travel insurance is an essential part of your trip preparation. Itās not only a smart idea to get covered, but it will also give your loved ones peace of mind. We actually require all customers to show proof of coverage at the beginning of the tour. Weāll need to see your name, area of cover and dates that the insurance is valid. Itās a good idea to get this sorted ASAP to ensure youāre covered for all eventualities.
Will I receive a packing list?
You sure will, once your trip is confirmed, youāll receive a confirmation email with a bunch of useful information, including an āArrival Guideā. Within this guide, youāll find a packing list, safety and cultural information and some useful tips to prepare for your trip.
Should I bring a backpack or a suitcase?
Most people do prefer travelling with a backpack, and itās generally easier when moving around, but itās not uncommon for some travellers to bring a suitcase. We suggest bringing something you are comfortable with carrying and lugging around. Itās also important to bring a small day bag that can hold enough for an overnight trip or those travel essentials. Click here to read a blog we wrote on this, āBackpack vs Suitcase - What is best for travelling?ā
Is there a limit to my luggage weight?
We suggest not going crazy with the packing and keeping it simple. Try and bring loose/floaty clothing that isnāt too thick or heavy. No need to bring heels or walking boots. We limit the luggage to 20kg per person. Best to leave the kitchen sink at home š¤£
Are there laundry services on tour?
There will be a few opportunities to do laundry throughout the trip, but we always suggest bringing enough underwear and essentials for the full trip. Your Group Leader will let you know the best time to do laundry, but this usually doesnāt happen until 4 or 5 days into the tour.
Do I need to bring a towel?
There are towels provided for showering and freshening up at all the hotels we stay at. We suggest buying a microfibre towel or large sarong as they are small and dry fast for use on the beach and swimming.
How much spending money do I need?
Once you've booked your flights, paid off your trip and got some solid travel insurance, you'll be all set for that Thailand, Vietnam & Bali adventure. We suggest bringing no less than Ā£300/$400, but this should be the bare minimum. We suggest working from an average of Ā£400-500/$500-700 over 2 weeks, this will cover things like shopping, drinks, extra meals and anything else you fancy treating yourself to... maybe a few massages!?
What's the best way to manage my money?
We always recommend having a few different options when managing your money while on the road. Having your everyday bank/ATM card with you as a backup is always a good idea, but we strongly suggest signing up for a travel/currency card. Most of these cards can be managed through an easy, easy-to-use app. There are ATMs throughout the trip, and we suggest grabbing some local currency when you arrive at the airport.
Will there be a Whatsapp group?
Youāll receive a final email with useful information to help with your arrival approximately 2 weeks before the trip. This includes a link to a private Whatsapp group for the tour date that youāll be travelling on. Itās a great place to chat with the rest of the people on the tour and your Group Leader. If youāve not already, click this link and join the āFeel Free Familyā Facebook Group. The FB community is ideal for discussing how things work with past and future travellers. Add yourself to the group and make a post asking who else has booked or thinking about booking the same date as you.
Your Arrival
When should I arrive on Day 1?
We suggest aiming to arrive during the middle of the 1st day, itās not essential, but it will give you time to freshen up before we head out for dinner and drinks. Youāll be grateful for that little extra time to relax, soak up some afternoon sun or just go for a wander and explore the local area.
Can I arrive a day or 2 early?
Absolutely! We actually recommend arriving a day or 2 early to give you more time to recharge and enjoy a bit of āme timeā before the tour begins. There might be experiences on your bucket list that we donāt include on the trip, this is the perfect time to fit them in.
Will I get an airport pickup?
Anyone arriving on Day 1 or who decides to book pre-tour accommodation with us will be picked up by our trusted drivers when they land. Theyāll be standing waiting at the airport with a Feel Free Travel sign, so youāll have no issues finding them šš¼
How do I know where to meet at the airport?
Weāll email everyone up-to-date arrival instructions 2 weeks before the trip with exactly where to meet the driver. Once you get picked up, weāll get you back to the hotel and check-in. If your flight is running late, donāt worry, weāll be tracking your progress on Google and will be waiting for you to arrive.
Whatās the plan for Day 1?
The first day is the āArrival Dayā, there isnāt a huge amount planned. Itās the perfect day to relax, catch some sun and get your bearings. In the evening, itās time to meet your new travel family, as weāll be taking you all out to one of our favourite spots for dinner and a chilled drink.
After the Trip
What time does the tour finish?
All our tours finish on the morning of the final day, this will give you plenty of time to get back to the airport ready for that flight home or onto your next destination.
What happens after my tour?
It really depends from group to groupā¦ sometimes weāll have a whole bunch of people hanging out once the tour has finished, travelling for days, weeks or even months together. But in others, youāll have many people going their separate ways. As the trip unfolds, youāll soon learn about each other's travel plans and share ideas for what adventures lie ahead. The hardest part is saying your goodbyes and giving your last big hugs to the people leaving straight after the trip ends.
Can I get help with return airport transfers?
You sure can, our Group Leaders are available throughout the trip to chat about your onward travel plans. They will be there to offer help and assistance when it comes to booking flights, taxis, buses, and ferries. Itās always a good idea to get your flights booked before you arrive, including any internal flights after your tour.
Can I stay longer and extend my trip?

Almost all the places we stay on tour have free WIFI allowing you to stay connected with friends and family back home. There are certain places we visit that donāt, but we will always give you a heads up in advance so that you can prepare and let your loved ones know you may be unreachable at home.
Can I travel solo/come alone?
Absolutely! Our trips are built for solo travellers, and believe usā¦ sharing new experiences with a group of new friends is one of the best things you can do. A large majority of the people that travel with us are 1st-time travellers doing it alone, so donāt worry, youāll never be alone with us.
Whatās the average age of people on these trips?
Our trips are specifically targeted towards individuals who are young at heart. If youāre between the ages of 18-39 and keen on a new adventure, youāre welcome to join us. Weāve found that the average age of our travellers is 22-32, we also get young travellers straight out of school as well as working professionals in their mid to late 30s.
How big are the group sizes?
We keep our group sizes small, with an average of 12-16 people per group, so that everyone gets to know each other and experience things at an enjoyable pace.
Whatās included in the price?
We include most of the big ticket items like accommodation, activities, local experiences, secret stops, local guides, a western group leader and a bunch of meals. We also include an airport pickup on arrival!
What should I expect from the included meals?
You should expect almost all your breakfasts to be included to allow us to get the best out of each day. Youāll also get a few lunches on day trips and the odd dinner. We try and find a good balance between including meals and giving you the flexibility to eat what you fancy.
Do you cater for specific dietary/allergy requirements?
We make every effort to prepare for all dietary requirements and will do our best to support you during mealtime. Please provide clear information during the booking form and chat with your Group Leader during the first few days.
The accommodation on our trips is something we do better than anyone else, and our tours definitely wouldnāt be the same without the awesome places we stay. Weāve handpicked these places to give you the perfect balance of comfort, security and convenience. We really do love where we stay, and so do all our happy travellers š
Who will I share a room with?
All solo travellers will pair up with other travellers of the same sexā¦ girls with girls & guys with guys. If you are travelling with a friend, let us know, and we can put you togetherā¦ same if you are travelling as a couple, we will arrange a double room where possible. You can upgrade during the booking form if youād like your own room.
Can I combine more than 1 trip together?
Itās common for our travellers to combine 2 or more of our trips. Our trips have been specifically programmed to allow you to do just that. You can often finish 1 trip on the same day another trip is just starting. After all, flight tickets are not cheap, you might as well maximise your experience if you have the time!
How do I book?
Booking your trip couldnāt be easier, find a trip that takes your fancy, pick a date, reserve your spot with a deposit and get that flight bookedā¦
We always recommend reserving your spot before booking your flight. When our trips are fullā¦ unfortunately, they are FULL š¬ Check out our āHow it Worksā page for more information on booking your trip!!
