The local costs (accommodation, catering, pocket money of
400 Baht per day, laundry care, local transportation) must
always be covered. Concerning the amount of project- and extra-costs
as well as the part of international flight-costs there should
be negotiations with our representatives. They can estimate
the financial strength of the asking partners on the spot
