Bangkok is modern by Asian standards yet with side streets, alleyways and markets that follow older traditions; it is alive with energy and people. We\u2019ll give you the know-how to explore as the locals do; with an exciting mix of public canal boats, tuk tuks, taxis or public river boats; there\u2019s a metro network too. It\u2019s an exhilarating city with colourful nightlife. Thailand, as in all the regions we visit, has wonderfully welcoming and friendly people; as well as superb and interesting cuisine.<\/p>\n
Laos and Cambodia (together with the more modernised Vietnam) form what is classically known as Indochina. Cambodia and Laos have French influences from colonisation. Laos is much slower paced and is charming and beautiful. In Laung Prabang you\u2019ll be able to walk to most places, enjoy wonderful restaurants based on the rivers\u2019 edge and magical Mekong sunsets. Our stay in the rural hamlet of Nong Khiew will show you a different side of Laos; that less visitors see. Our classic boat trip in this region heads north in the direction of the border with China where you\u2019ll see simple villages and epic, less explored, scenery.<\/p>\n
Cambodia (formerly known as Kampuchea), has an ancient and fascinating Khmer history and more infamous past through the Khmer Rouge – particularly visible in Phnom Penh. Like Laos, it has rich jungle and some of its best locations are only accessible by river which we\u2019ll explore.<\/p>\n
By Western standards the whole region is safe with very welcoming, with courteous and friendly people.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
