TRAVEL FAQ
A few things before you go.
Clear answers for a well-prepared visit.
A question about your own arrangements?
Contact the programme teamBooking & arrival
Can I book as soon as I register?
An expression of interest is not a participation confirmation. Wait for your official written confirmation and check included dates and services before making non-refundable arrangements.
Is a visa or entry guaranteed?
No. Check the requirements applicable to your journey with the relevant Thai embassy or the official Thai e-Visa portal. Entry decisions remain with the responsible authorities.
Is airport transfer included?
Only where your written confirmation includes it. The correct airport, flight time, pickup point and contact instructions must be agreed. Changes need reconfirmation.
Are all four hotel nights supported?
A 14 December arrival and 18 December departure requires four hotel nights. Hosted hotel support is up to three approved nights. Confirm the additional night and payment responsibility separately.
Routes & preparation
Does choosing a route secure a place on 17 December?
No. It records your preference for review. Participation, route allocation, hosts and support require approval and written confirmation.
Can I bring or ship product samples?
Check product, customs, airline and venue requirements first. Pilot Shipping is conditional; do not dispatch on the assumption that costs or access are approved.
How do I request interpretation or access support?
Contact the programme team with the practical arrangements you need. Availability will be reviewed and confirmed. Do not include sensitive medical documents in the public interest form.
Does this checklist send my information to the team?
No. It stays in the current page. You can download or copy it, or open an email draft, add your details and send it yourself. Completing the checklist is not approval.
