","answer":"If you arrive on Day 1 of your adventure, or you\u2019ve booked yourself a pre-night at the same hotel the adventure starts from, your airport arrival transfer will be included. Arrival transfers are private to Flash Pack and in groups depending on flight times, so you may have to wait in the airport for a short while.\nHowever, if you\u2019ve booked alternative pre-trip accommodation or are arriving by another mode of transport, you\u2019ll have to arrange your own arrival transfer.\u00a0\nPlease also note: in order to secure your place on the private transfer, you\u2019ll need to provide your flight details to our Customer Experience team no later than 30 days prior to your adventure\u2019s departure date. You\u2019ll get automated email reminders about this, but the team won\u2019t be chasing you. That\u2019s why it\u2019s key to get this information over in good time. If the details are provided later than 30 days pre-departure, you\u2019ll have to arrange your own arrival transfer.\nDeparture transfers are typically not included due to travelers leaving at varying times.

","answer":"For the waterfall hike, we recommend that you wear good-quality water-shoes or waterproof sandals, preferably with the heels covered. You\u2019ll be sent a detailed packing list upon booking your adventure.\n"},{"question":"What is overnight train like? Can I request a private cabin? ","answer":"Travelling by train is a local rather than a luxury experience, but it\u2019s one of the best ways to experience the real Southeast Asia. Here are some notes to help prepare you for the experience:\n\n\nThe cabin we are using is a 2nd class sleeper train with 20 bunk beds (maximum 40 people). If you\u2019re a light sleeper, it\u2019s a good idea to bring ear plugs as the cabins can be noisy at night.\n\n\nPrivate cabins are not available and there is no single supplement option for this part of the trip. You will be sharing your cabin with local people, however, we will try to put all Flashpackers in the same cabin, along with your guide.\n\n\nThe train bathrooms are shared and although showers are available on board, these consist of a toilet with a shower head, so it\u2019s better to wait to freshen up at your hotel upon arrival in Krabi.\n\n\nPlease also be aware that Bangkok station is very large and busy. You will be travelling to the station during peak rush hour, which can feel chaotic. You won\u2019t be able to board the train until an hour before departure. Overnight trains are often subject to delays and may stop unexpectedly to let other trains go past.\n\n\n"},{"question":"What are the Khao Sok floating raft houses like? ","answer":"The floating raft houses in Khao Sok National Park offer basic accommodation in a serene and secluded setting.\u00a0As with any nature-based experience, you should expect to encounter animals and insects, especially after heavy rain.\nThe rooms are simple but functional, with mattresses set on tropical hardwood floors, ensuite bathrooms with hot water shower, and a small private deck.\nMore basic than our standard Flash Pack accommodation, the floating raft houses and have been chosen as an experiential rather than a luxury stay.\u00a0Waking up to the sounds of the lake and tropical birds is a true back-to-nature experience and you\u2019ll be surrounded by stunning scenery.\n"},{"question":" Will I get to drive the jet ski?","answer":"The jet ski experience will be shared, so two Flashpackers will ride one jet ski taking turns to drive.
