The safety level of this schoolies location is good. Your level of safety is determined by your behaviour, however several measures have been put in place to make it as safe as possible for you.

We have been advised to only book at an Official Schoolies Resort. Is this right?
Absolutely. This is a must to ensure you that have no problems at check-in. It will also ensure you are at a “Verified” schoolies hotel – these hotels must meet guidelines of safety, prime location, resort facilities, schoolies-friendly staff, and it also ensures that you don’t miss out on the genuine schoolies experience.
What should I look out for with a schoolies hotel?
In Thailand, location is very important, so ensure you are at the official schoolies resort – avoid being hidden away from all the action.
What’s the best hotel to stay at during schoolies week?
In Thailand, the ideal hotel for schoolies has always been the one where the Sure Thing Schoolies event is being held. This is one of the most amazing locations you can imagine, with a genuine sand beach and tropical fish, as well as being amongst all the action in the town centre. All schoolies will need to be booked and registered through Sure Thing Schoolies Travel to receive the schoolies party/event wristband as well as all the other schoolies benefits.
Is there a Schoolies Curfew?
No, there is no schoolies Curfew. Sure Thing Schoolies runs safe and professional schoolies events and NEVER enforces a curfew or lock-out, and NEVER leashes you to the hotel grounds.
Are things expensive in Thailand? Like Food and Drinks?
Prices are generally lower than they are in Australia. Your spending money will be more valuable in Thailand.
Do you need to Tip people in Thailand?
If you like, this is entirely optional.
Are there Schoolies Parties and Events?
Your booking will come with your official “Sure Thing Schoolies” Wristband. Thailand is set up to accommodate schoolies parties and events during schoolies week. This is probably the most exciting part of the experience for most people 🙂
How soon should we book?
Just like the hottest concert tickets… The schoolies hotel rooms get snapped up nice and early, the earlier you book, the better it is for you. To get things rolling, contact schoolies@surething.com.au and let them know how many people are in your group. From there, they will send you an itinerary of the best available rooms and will give you details on how you can make them yours!
