Vietnam – new year, like most of Asia, is on 5th February

Laos and Cambodia – our last tour with a bang
This year will be the last public tour of Laos and Cambodia run by Angel Holidays; it’s an exceptional experience and takes a lot to organise. One of the highlights is Luang Prabang on the Mekong. There’s a bamboo bridge here, that gets washed away each year by the monsoon; only to be hand built […]
