Pre & Post Cruise in Thailand

The Grand Palace complex from space.


Over the years I have spoken with many Cruise Passengers and on many occasions we have discussed why they join the Cruise Ship directly on arriving at the International Airport or indeed why they head home directly after the Cruise without having experienced the sights and sounds of the exotic Kingdom of Thailand - The Land of Smiles. Why travel all this way and not see one of the most intriguing and beautiful countries in South East Asia.

99% of the times the answer is: TOO PRICEY - yes indeed the Cruise Line and their Travel Partners only advertise and arrange for Cruise Passengers to stay at the most expensive 5 Star Hotels - where everything is really well beyond many Cruise Passengers budgets and even the Shore Excursions can be very extravagant

THIS NOT NEED TO BE SO; In fact Thailand is very affordable and many great bargains can be had. We have throughout the land many great inexpensive 4 Star properties and the ever more popular Serviced Apartments. We at Image have some great relationships with some of these fantastic properties and if you have never stayed at a serviced Apartment you will be more than pleased with your experience and the BOTTOM LINE.

The greatest difficulty when booking from far away places and not knowing the City or environs, is to know which location is the most desirable.

We at Image have a great knowledge of Bangkok and all other areas of Thailand and we know just what type of accommodation you are looking for and of course one of the main ingredients is LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION.
We know you want a great Hotel/Guest House/Serviced Apartments at very affordable prices, very good security and in an area where you can enjoy walking and seeing the sights and feel the vibrancy of the Far East. Please rest assured that Bangkok in general is a very safe city for walking around and exploring, taking Taxis or the well run Sky Train. As in every city in the world always be aware of your surroundings and stay away from certain areas.

We would strongly advise anyone to have a "stay-over" in Thailand even if only for a short period as there is so much to see and do. What about a day trip to the infamous River Kwai or to the ancient Capital of Ayutthaya in the comfort of our air conditioned limousines. But of course there are so many different itineraries that we could offer while you are here.

We can offer you a most attractive package and guarantee that you will have an ever lasting and a most memorable Pre/Post Cruise Experience. Leave the work to us and come and enjoy.
