Hi Marvin, Yes, it is suitable for Solo Traveller

Hello, We are very interested in your tour, for January 11-12. A few questions: we will be staying in Phuket, hotel Journey Residents (Bang Tao beach), is it possible to get transportation from there (option #11)? . Can we take 2 small suitcases with us and leave them at the Visitor center?

Ilya, 01 Dec 2024

Hello Ilya, Thank you for your interest in our tour! Yes, it is possible to arrange transportation from your hotel. However, Option 11 is a round-trip service, can I confirm you’ll be returning to the same area after the trip ends? As for your luggage, you can bring two small suitcases and they can be left at our host office during the tour for added convenience. :)
