Welcome to the VAHS Thailand 2020 blog. Here we will post important and exciting information about the Summer 2020 trip to Thailand taken by VAHS students and others. You may view the already posted itinerary for the trip by clicking on the links on the right.→
Thailand is an amazing place where the economy is based on tourism. This means that most people speak English! We will be spending 2 weeks traveling, sightseeing, eating, playing and generally having a good time! We will also take some time to do some community service while we are there.
The 2 week trip will cost $2700. (I have done my best to make this as affordable as possible.) I'm asking that a $600 non-refundable deposit be made so that we can begin to buy plane tickets now. If you will then pay $300 per month (starting in December), you will reach the goal of $2700 by June.
Please note: The price that will be paid to the school will be $2,200. The remaining money should be brought with you to pay for food, and some travel. The currency exchange rate in Thailand is 30 baht per US dollar. As an example, dinner at a market might cost you 40-50 baht per serving. (I eat 2!) Travel expenses not already included will be things like Songthaews (a unique Thai taxi) which might cost 30-60 baht per person. The remaining money will go a loooonnng way.
Please also note: This is just covering things we are doing. This does NOT include spending money while you are there.
