SQUAD DAYS
What is a Squad Day? A Squad Day is a free day for you and whoever you have connected with so far, to head out and explore together, in your own mini squad.
We don’t believe in the old school rigid trips with no free time to head out on your own adventures. Any bucket-list spots you want to hit, or even just a day at the beach, squad days are your opportunities to do this!
TTS Hosts will be available to help you plan, organise and execute your day.
It’s a TTS Experience
Thailand Takeover , like all TTS experiences, is tailored for you to come away from the trip with your own squad! If you come away from these trips with a new friend to carry on your travels with, then we've done our job!!!
Use our platform and group chats to connect with people online before heading out. Remember everyone here is a stranger at some stage of their TTS journey.
This week will be full of games, challenges, icebreakers, activities and plenty of social opportunities throughout the day and all the way through the night!
Arrivals in Bangkok
Transfers will be provided and available on day 1, until 10pm. However, bear in mind that activities will start much earlier than this. It would be ideal for you to arrive at the airport between 2pm - 4pm. Please ensure you fill out the arrivals form, sent 60 days prior to the departure!

HOW TO BOOK
(Please check how this compares to your time zone)
We will post the booking link in the Thailand Launch chat only.
.
You then make your deposit payment of £99 or pay the full price.
In the confirmation email you will receive an invite to a confirmed group chat for the trip.
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER I BOOK?
Once you have booked, you will receive a confirmation email from confirmation@thetravelsquad.com. In this email there will be a link to the confirmed chat. Please use this chat to connect, swap socials and build online relationships with others before heading out. We will also have a ‘Get to know everyone’ Spreadsheet you can fill out to further help you all connect!
This group chat is also where important information will be posted and pinned!
Closer to the trip date we will be sending out personality questionnaires (For room allocations, See the FAQ on next page for more information on these)
FAQ’S
Are flights included in your trips?
International flights to/from the destination your trip starts and ends in are not included in the cost of the trip, and must be purchased separately. We have members flying from all over the world, making it very hard to include flights. We also want to keep our trips open-ended for those people that want to carry on their travels and aren't ready to head home :)
What is the average age range?
The average age range of our community is 18-35 but the majority is 24-35. That being said, we do have some members that join us that fall outside those given parameters. Please note our minimum age requirement is 18. That being said, age is only a number and we've had lots of people outside of that age bracket join our trips and love them! As long as you're 18 or over, you can join the adventure!
Can I book with a friend?
Tickets are limited to 1 person per booking. TTS was started for helping solo people without friends to book and meet new friends so our ticket system isn't designed for groups. This may be a feature added in the future. For now, make sure your friend is ready to book a ticket at the same time.
I'm travelling on my own, is this trip suitable for me?
All TTS experiences are tailored for you to come away with your own squad! If you come away from these trips with a new friend to plan more adventures with, then we've done our job!!! Once you are confirmed onto the trip you will be added to a group chat to connect, swap socials and build relationships online with people before heading out. Remember everyone here is a stranger at some stage of their TTS journey.
Travel insurance?
Yes! We highly recommend that you take out comprehensive insurance cover for cancellation, personal injury, death, medical expenses, repatriation expenses, evacuation expenses, personal liability & loss of personal property and Covid related expenses before you travel with us. We also highly recommend to make sure that your travel insurance specifically covers for skiiing and snowboarding as not all insurers will cover for this. When you book with us, in the confirmation email we will send you a travel insurance provider we recommend.
How do I make changes to my booking?
For now, until our platform is more advanced, please email the thailand@thetravelsquad.com. The admin will assist you in making these changes.
How do room allocations work?
About 1 month before the trip commences, we will send out a questionnaire both by email and in the confirmed squad (group chat). This will be your opportunity to let us know a little bit about yourself, so that we can help match you up with like minded people.
You can request to stay with someone in particular. You can use the WhatsApp chats to swap socials, connect and build online relationships with others booked on to help you choose who to share with. We will always allocate girls to be in rooms with girls and boys to be in rooms with boys unless you specifically request to be with someone in particular as a couple. This may mean you still end up in a mixed gender apartment.
When you fill out the questionnaire and we allocate you, we will connect you with your room buddy via email beforehand to connect and build online relationships beforehand.
We will do our best to cater for everyone’s requests but cannot guarantee everything.
What if I change my card?
If you need to change your card details after booking, please email thailand@thetravelsquad.com and we will arrange a call with you to change your details.
What if a payment bounces?
If a payment bounces please email in thailand@thetravelsquad.com and we will try to work out the problem with you
What cards do you take?
Stripe accepts a wide range of credit and debit cards.
This includes major card networks like:
Visa
Mastercard
American Express
Discover
Diners Club
China UnionPay
