A visit to Laos and Cambodia is a glimpse into the Asia of old – majestic history, ancient Buddhist culture, a way of life untouched by modern innovation. Culturally different from their fast paced, Chinese influenced Indochina counterpart, Vietnam, both Laos and Cambodia share the Theravada Buddhism of neighbouring Thailand and are characterised by a gentle, welcoming people keen to share their fascinating history and culture. We begin in Northern Thailand’s mysterious Golden Triangle region where the borders of Laos, Thailand and Myanmar (Burma) meet. From here, take a captivating journey by slow boat along the Mekong River before arriving in Luang Prabang, one of Asia’s most magical destinations. Fly to the quiet Laotian capital of Vientiane and on to the vibrant Khmer capital, Phnom Penh. Culminate with the magnificent temples of Angkor, including Angkor Wat itself, the world’s largest religious monument.

As you wake to the spectacle of monks in bright yellow robes collecting alms at sunrise as you drift down the Chao Phraya on your private luxury boat you will think you're still dreaming.
