Range of packaged tours
Video tapes on Thailand are available on loan from a Christchurch travel agency for viewing at home.
The service is being offered by Asia Pacific Travel, on the corner of Manchester and Hereford Streets. The company specialises in Thai holidays and its managing director, Mr Brian McCauley, makes no secret of the fact that Thailand is one bf his favourite destinations.
He has visited there on a number of occasions and recently spent a month touring through the region with his wife in mini-buses, trains, and rental car.
“Taking a family holiday in Thailand would be as cheap as — even
cheaper than — a similar holiday in the much closer islands of the South Pacific,” he said. “Basic prices for transport and food are cheaper in Thailand than anywhere else.
“It also offers such a diversity of attractions — mountains, big cities, beautiful beaches and luxurious resorts,” said Mr McCauley.
Asia Pacific will be run-
ning lunch-hour and evening seminars on Thailand as a tourist destination.
Its range of packages to Bangkok, Phuket, and Phi Phi Island run from $1787 for seven days (six nights) with transfers and return air travel from Christchurch.
They are based on the popular Royal Orchid Holidays marketed in association with Thai Airways.
Royal Orchid recently unveiled a new format for its Thailand and Asia brochure which now allows travellers to arrange their own itinerary by choosing hotels, flights, and tours based on a range of 20 different holidays.
The brochure includes maps and special sections with details on how to calculate room rates and airline schedules.
The Royal Orchid company has been in business for 20 years.
