Intrepid resumes normal operations in Bangkok

Monday, 01 Dec, 2011 0

Intrepid Travel has praised its Bangkok team as trips resume to normal post the widespread flooding in Thailand.

Amid rising waters, Intrepid’s on-the-ground operations team made changes to or cancelled more than 60 trips, impacting more than 500 passengers.

“They did so under extremely difficult circumstances as the flooding caused Intrepid to relocate its office out of the centre of Bangkok and left many of its staff members homeless,” said Intrepid Travel’s managing director, Geoff Manchester.

“Trips are starting to return to normal operations with all departures operating as scheduled.”

Intrepid Travel’s staff worldwide contributed to a fundraising effort to support staff impacted by the floods. The effort was kick-started by donations from Intrepid’s co-founders, Geoff Manchester and Darrell Wade.
