You can save up to 24% on future Purple Dragon travel, even if you have not chosen dates, made a reservation or even decided where you want to go! It's very easy... Buy a Purple Dragon Gift Certificate for use any time after September 2010 and we will give you a discount on the face value. You also receive 150% of applicable Purple Bonus Points automatically!

Why are we doing this? This will be the seventh year in a row we have offered reduced prices for Members who plan well in advance. Last minute reservations are more difficult for us to handle and we are often not able to give our guests the hotels and flights they want. You can see advance-booking discounts below. (Look for the silly dog.) Some of our Members have complained that they are not able to take advantage of these special discounts because they cannot arrange their vacation time until after our advance-reservation deadlines. So by popular demand we decided to try a new program that would reward our guests while also offering the maximum flexibility.

You must finalize your purchase before 31 July 2010.

THE FINE PRINT: Gift Certificates are available to Club Sanook Members only. Gift Certificates can be used by the buyer or given as a gift. Certificates can not be used in payment for airfares, India, Nepal or Bhutan packages, in combination with other discounts (except Phuket Leisurely, Bangkok Leisurely or Chiang Mai Leisurely Member-only packages) or when reservations are not made directly through Purple Dragon. Certificates can be redeemed for travel arrangements schedule for 01 October 2010 through 30 September 2012. No part of a Gift Certificate is refundable. You may redeem accumulated Purple Bonus Points and apply the value of a Gift Certificate as payment for the same booking. If you do not use the entire face value of a Gift Certificate, the remaining balance will be held as a credit through 31 August 2012.  You may transfer a credit of no more than 25% of the face value of the Gift Certificate to someone else if you cannot use it yourself. Cancellation penalties described in Purple Dragon's standard terms and conditions apply to Gift Certificates the same as any other form of payment. You may pay for your Gift Certificate with Visa, Master Card, American Express, or by cash transfer. Members will be exempt from the American Express commission surcharge. A discount of 3% applies if you pay by bank transfer, which means the discount from the face value of certificates is more than 24% for a $10,000 certificate purchased with money and 6,000 Purple Bonus Points. Purple Bonus Points will be applied to the Member's account after the Gift Certificate is applied as payment for confirmed reservations.

Too early to think about Holiday travel for 2010? 2011? Not if you plan to spend time at any beach resort in Thailand, or visit Luang Prabang, or many places in Cambodia, Vietnam, or India! Many hotels in all of these places were fully booked by the end of July for the following December and January, so we encourage you to decide as far in advance as possible to avoid disappointment.

This is the sevemtj year we have offered a "Plan Ahead Discount" to Club Sanook Members. Why do we do this? Honestly, it takes much more work and causes much more frustration when guests wait until the last minute to make their plans. We love to please our customers. However, we are less likely to be able to give late-booking guests exactly what they want.

For the 2010/2011 high season you can take advantage of several different options:

  • You can take a 5% discount on arrangements costing $1,000 or more that are reserved and prepaid in full by 30 June 2010.  HS101 

  • You can take a 10% discount on arrangements costing $5,000 or more that are prepaid by 20 April 201-.  HS102 

  • You can take a 5% discount on arrangements costing $5,000 or more that are prepaid by 31 July 2010.  HS103
  • You can take a 5% discount on deposits of 50% or more you make for high season travel if the arrangements cost $2,500 or more when the deposit is made by 31 May 2010.    HS104

THE FINE PRINT: Discounts apply to Purple Dragon packages for travel between 01 September 2010 and 31 March 2011. Discounts do not apply to group travel arrangements, airfares, India, Nepal or Bhutan, hotel-only or guide-only reservations, in combination with other discounts, or not reserved directly through Club Sanook/Purple Dragon. If you plan an itinerary that allows you to take advantage of other discounts, we can exclude those and apply the Plan Ahead Discount to the rest of your arrangements. Rules published in Purple Dragon's Terms & Conditions apply except that refunds for any reason are subject to a 50% penalty for cancellations received before 01 September 2010. Deposits are non-refundable thereafter.

Homey, spacious rooms, a health club, a restaurant, free WiFi and a wonderful staff are just a few reasons to stay there. Club One Seven is in a quite area, just one block from Patong Beach and just minutes from nightlife, shopping and great restaurants.  HKT01


Plan an extended stay in Bangkok and want to save some money. Bangkok Leisurely, our Members-only package is a great alternative to a   stay in a sleezy hotel. It includes a great place to stay near from Skytrain or Babylon with a terrific breakfast daily and airport transportation included. Many of our Members use this package in conjunction with the health care options we offer.   BK999
 


Why rush through a stay in Chiang Mai when you can kick back and enjoy the fresh air, the colorful sights, the incomparable shopping and the terrific nightlife. "Chiang Mai Leisurely" lets you do that at a cost you can afford. Stay a week or longer and we give you a terrific little hotel (nicer than you expect) within easy walking distance from the Night Market, airport transportation, breakfast every day, and one of our wonderful guides for a free-style orientation tour.  CM999

If the weather is clear you can see as far as Phnom Kulen (but not Russia, Sarah). You get the balloon ride even in conjunction with other discounts.   REP01  


Why fly over Phnom Penh on your way to or from Angkor Wat? We think PP is worth a visit even if you do not go to Angkor. You can take 10% off Phnom Penh when you take both packages back-to-back.  KH210
