Hi Palmer,

 

As requested.

 

I would like to confirm for this trip. My wife and i are up for this trip. Kindly advise on how we can make deposit/full payments.

 

I will not require travel insurance as i am currently covered.

 

Will you be collecting any other fees for bike insurance into Thailand before hand or we'll confirm all admin work when we do meet for the first time on a date advised by your goodself?

 

Looking forward to your replies.
