So, please travel light so that upon your return, your suitcase will have enough room for all the gifts you purchased, and you will not be charged for any excess weight from airlines.
This will be my twenty-second visit to Thailand since 1997, and this year I will again host a large group of approximately 16-24 attendees.
It is my personal prayer and dream to again have each and all participants be fulfilled and contented with The VC Thailand Student Study Tour.
I kindly request your assistance and cooperation with coordinating and maneuvering all the attendees [herding cats!]
We take care of each other, support each other, help each other to make this a most wonderful adventure and experience.
