Terms & Conditions

By registering for IPC16 Thailand 2026 you agree to the terms below. They cover booking, payment, cancellations and transfers, accommodation, family and financial support, our code of conduct and liability. Questions can go to registration@thaipermaculture.org.

1

Registration and Booking

Finalisation

There are two ways to book. If you buy on Ticketmelon, your place is confirmed when your payment is complete. Your e-ticket arrives by email, and we will email you to ask for the details of anyone coming with you. If you pay by personalised invoice (groups of 5 or more adults, and students), your place is confirmed when the registration coordinator confirms that full payment has arrived.

First come, first served

Museum dormitory beds are limited to 150 and allocated in the order that payments are received.

Group bookings

To qualify for the 10% group discount, a minimum of five people must register together.

Independent regional subgroups

The IPC does not run an internal coordination system for regional delegations. These groups organise their own internal travel and logistics, and remain fully eligible for the 10% group discount when registrations are submitted together.

Payment Terms

Ticketmelon checkout

Most bookings are paid on Ticketmelon: card, Thai QR and wallet payments all run through Ticketmelon's checkout, and your e-ticket arrives by email. The refund and cancellation terms set out in these terms still apply to those bookings.

Payment methods

Personalised invoices are paid by bank transfer, for both Thai and international participants (we accept WISE for international transfers). This route is for groups of 5 or more adults, and students. For anything else, email registration@thaipermaculture.org. We do not accept cash.

Invoicing

If you are paying by personalised invoice, we send it after you submit the registration form. It lists your totals, any rentals, and any discounts you qualify for.

Bank details

Account name: Green Net Cooperative. Account number: 089-2-92975-2. Bank: Kasikorn Bank PCL. Branch: Thannon Ratchadapisek Huay-Kwang. Bank address: 252/7 Muangthai Phatra Complex 1, Ratchadapisek Road, Huay-Kwang, Bangkok 10310. SWIFT code: KASITHBK.

Cash policy

Cash is not accepted under any circumstances.

Transaction fees

Any bank transfer fees, currency conversion charges or credit card processing fees are the participant's responsibility.

Confirmation

Paying by bank transfer? Email your payment receipt to registration@thaipermaculture.org. Your placement is finalised only when the team confirms full payment. Ticketmelon buyers do not need to send anything: the e-ticket is your confirmation.

Cancellations and Refunds

We understand that plans can change. As a non-profit event with no external funding, we commit to venues and catering well in advance, so refund windows tighten as the event approaches.

Until 31 Aug 2026 Full refund Minus 10% administrative processing fee

1 Sep – 15 Oct 2026 50% refund Of registration fees

After 15 Oct 2026 No refunds Funds are already committed to catering, materials and site preparation

Non-refundable items

Individual bus tickets between Pathum Thani and Wang Nam Khiao (600 THB) are non-refundable once booked, as vehicle capacities are fixed. Bank, currency conversion and credit card processing fees on the original payment or refund are the participant's responsibility.

Force majeure

If the conference is cancelled by the organisers due to circumstances beyond our control (for example extreme weather or regional instability), we will refund as much as possible after covering non-recoverable costs already paid to venues and vendors.

How to request a refund

All requests must be submitted in writing to registration@thaipermaculture.org. Refunds are processed back to the original bank account or payment method used during registration.

4

Registration Transfers

Fair Share option

If you cannot attend, you may transfer your registration to another person at no additional cost until 25 October 2026.

How to transfer

The original registrant emails registration@thaipermaculture.org with the new attendee's full name and contact details.

What transfers with it

Dormitory bed allocations are linked to the registration and pass to the new participant.

Family and Financial Support

Children's rates

Children are free at the Conference. At the Convergence, ages 0 to 5 are free, ages 6 to 12 are 1,000 THB and ages 13 to 17 are 2,000 THB to cover onsite catering. The Museum dorm is for adults and for youth aged 13 to 17 accompanied by an adult; children under 13 cannot stay in the dorm. Families with younger children attending the Conference should arrange off-site lodging such as the One Hotel in Pathum Thani.

Student rates

Valid students are eligible for half-price registration at the Conference (3,475 THB) and 10% off at the Convergence (16,200 THB). Valid student ID required.

Concessionary rate

Residents of eligible countries (Thailand; Southeast Asia; South and East Asia; most Pacific island nations; all of Africa and Latin America) pay a concessionary registration rate of approximately 30% off: Conference 5,000 THB, Convergence 13,000 THB. Buying on Ticketmelon? Choose the Concessionary ticket. Paying by personalised invoice as a group or a student? Give your country of residence on the registration form and we will apply the rate (on the invoice it may be labelled the “Tier 2 concessionary rate”). The 10% group discount for five or more paying adults applies to group invoices only: it can be combined with the concessionary rate on a group invoice, but it cannot be applied to Ticketmelon purchases.

Financial assistance

Support is available for dedicated practitioners facing severe financial constraints. Contact the registration coordinator for details.

Volunteers

Discounted registration rates are available in exchange for vital volunteer work. Contact the coordinator to apply.

Fair Share sponsorship and donations

When registering, you may sponsor a Conference ticket (3,475 to 5,000 THB) or a full Convergence experience (13,000 THB) for a regional participant, or donate any amount to the travel subsidy fund. Email registration@thaipermaculture.org and we will arrange it with you.
