Q
Hello team,
I’m interested in your Buddhism Experience (Chiang Mai):
https://www.orientalescape.com/tour/thailand/chiangmai/buddhism-experience
On the page I see a pick-up window of 08:30–13:00 and a return window of 15:30–20:00. Are these just general time windows, and will the exact pick-up/return time be confirmed and agreed after booking?
I want to participate alone on 26th december morning.
Thank you? Nicola - 281 Days ago
