They ruin plans, they make group activities harder and more expensive for everyone, and generally lack respect for other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">We have no time for Flakes. None. We actively try to weed them all out during the application process and if any do manage to slip through the net, <br>please rest assured that we will not issue them a refund, in fact we charge them to cancel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">Why do we charge them to cancel?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">The first reason is simple, we have an outlay every time someone books on. <br>An outlay in staff time, an outlay in booking fees &amp; associated taxes, and an outlay in reputation. <br>If we say we\u2019re bringing 120 people, it\u2019s our reputation on the line if we come up short.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">The second reason is personal. <br>For each person that was successfully offered a place on Thailand Takeover in 2023, <br>there was approximately 80 people that were turned down. <br>It\u2019s out of respect for those 80 people, that would have loved to even had the chance to come, <br>that we charge a cancellation fee. <br>(Part of that fee pays for an extra rep to fast-track the re-opening of the space to other applicants.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">Our refund policy:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">Simply put, there isn\u2019t one. If you need to to reschedule your trip, <br>please email accounts@thailand-takeover.com<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">Outside of rescheduling, we do not refund flakes for any reason <br>(and we\u2019ve heard all the excuses. From the most horrendous lies to the most entitled snobbery, one <br>thing we have learned is a Flake will do ANYTHING but take responsibility, <br>hold up their hands and say \u2018I am sorry for wasting everyones time, <br>I understand there are consequences to my actions and <br>I accept the financial liability that I have brought upon myself in making the choice not to come.\u2019)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">What if I miss a payment?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">We understand, sometimes you get paid late, <br>sometimes you overspend one month or have a big bill come in, we get it. <br>If you have any difficulties or questions regarding your payments, <br>please email accounts@thailand-takeover.com<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-7387b849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our Anti-Flaking Policy is here to protect our customers and mitigate the detrimental affect that the practice of flaking has on our packages.
