travel; this difference is reflected in the way we source and package our holidays, how we operate
and ultimately in the way we service our travel agent partners. At The Holiday Factory we offer
exceptional value for the following reasons:
• Our bonus offers really do add up to savings, it’swell worth doing themaths.

availability and the best deals.

specific advice or recommendations.
• Our website has a vast array of packages to choose from
but if you are looking to plan amore complex itinerary, please do not hesitate
to speak to one of our consultantswhowill gladly help you.
• Our advanced systems ensure faster quote turnaround and booking
processing time.
• Our documentation is always beautifully presented, whichmay not be a big
issue but at TheHoliday Factorywe often say that the devil is in the detail.

Travel Tips fromThe Factory Floor
• Plan, book and pay for asmany elements of your holiday before you travel; transfers, tours, extras etc. are farmore expensive
when you buy themat your destination.
• Because SouthAfrica is not the biggest tourismmarket for a country, access to inventory is often difficult in peak seasons so it
pays to book as early as possible.
• When it comes to pricing, please understand thatwe live in a countrywhose currency fluctuates regularly, and our suppliers
are prone to changing pricing frequently.
• We appreciate that your holiday is a substantial investment, but please seriously consider purchasing comprehensive travel
andmedical insurance – it really does give you peace ofmind.

Thailand
Thailand is a country where ancient and modern, rural and city, peaceful and bustling
live together cheek by jowl but never encroach on each other; great spirituality
and tranquillity can be easily found in the most unlikely of spaces.
The beaches and tropical forests are oases of vibrant colour, delicate nature and exhilarating
adventure; whether you are here to party, relax or find inner peace through meditation
retreats. Thailand offers up its endless bounties to one and all, including the warmest of
welcomes from the friendliest of people.
Even the weather is perfect; you can expect a year-round warm, tropical climate, ideal for
lazing on the beach. The rainy seasons vary from coast to coast – November to March in the
East (Koh Samui) and May to October in the West (Phuket, Krabi, Phi Phi). We guess you’re
not going on holiday for the rain but during these months there is something wonderful
about the short, sharp downpours that leave in their wake a fresh zing to the air and which
cool things down a bit.
