FAQ

Is my credit card number safe?
Yes. CircleofAsia.com uses the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Private Communication Technology security standards supported by popular browsers, including Microsoft Internet Explorer and Netscape. SSL encodes your credit card number, so that it is available only to you and the trusted financial institution. This encryption makes doing business over the Internet as secure as making a purchase by telephone.

All transaction related information will be passed on to the trusted financial institution, and we do not maintain in our server any of your financial information, including but not limited to credit card’s name, number and expiry date.

What is your cancellation and refund policy?
All bookings will require full payment, of which the total amount will be non-refundable after payment has been charged upon you . Any cancellation or major changes, thereafter, will be subjected to a progressive cancellation fee according to the number of days you make known in advance:

*Cancellation made more than 30 days before the date of arrival will not be subjected to any cancellation fee. However, your initial payment, at full amount, will be credited towards your next purchase with Circle Of Asia which will have to be made within 1 calendar year after the date of cancellation.

*Cancellation made between 30-7 days before the date of arrival will be refunded the amount of reservation less a 30% cancellation fee.

*There will be no refund, or 100% cancellation fee for guests who do not show up and for cancellations made known less than 7 days before the date of arrival.

ALL requests for cancellation must be sent directly to us by e-mail or faxed to
+66 (2) 235-4214.

The refund will be transferred to your bank account if the tour is paid by cash. For customers who pay through a credit card, please note that the refund will be subject to a 3% processing fee charged by the credit card company. This does not include the loss of the currency conversion that might take place on the day that the refund is transferred to your account. In addition, the crediting process could take up to two months in some case, depending on the bank or the credit card company.

We will not accept or process any cancellation request which are sent to other agencies, hotels, or third parties. We will not be liable for any claims on unintentional bookings or fraudulent actions.

What sort of acknowledgement will I receive when I book a hotel room?

This is to help reduce the amount of document you have to carry during your travel. However, a confirmation of reservation can be provided via an e-mail upon your request.
