Frontier Travel - Has anyone's DCs had a bad gap year experience?

My niece is on her gap year and had booked a teaching placement in Thailand with Frontier Travel. Apparently she has arrived and it is very much not what was promised and they are leaving.

Her details are sketchy at the moment but does anyone else have any experience of their DCs having problems with this company. Did they manage to get their money back?

They were featured on radio 4 recently as there had been complaints but DN rang them and was reassured that these were isolated incidents (of course)

Have a few more details from her.

She says it was truly awful as her and her friends were the only two volunteers there, when they said it would be a small group, and the accommodation wasn't what they promised, 'comfortable lodge accommodation' it was not!. They were left in the middle of nowhere with no guidance and no one could speak english. The worst thing is that the school didnt get ANY of the 895 pounds that they paid.

I would certainly recommend giving this company a wide berth!
