This is the complete Indochina - a grand adventure through Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam that immerses us in the region's rich historic and cultural heritage. Vibrant and busting Bangkok is the quintessential Asian city that doesn't sleep - a great place to start our journey. With its laid-back charm, Laos is sure to captivate. The Mekong River remains its lifeblood, but we find the country's heart and soul in the former royal enclave of Luang Prabang. The Plain of Jars stand as a sentinel to a mysterious past, whilst Vientiane must be one of the world's most relaxed capital cities. Cambodia beckons with the glories of the Angkor period that is still evident in the magnificent temples and monuments carved from stone. Phnom Penh is like a 'phoenix rising from the ashes', as it leaves its recent turbulent past behind. Beautiful Vietnam completes our Indochina adventure with its traces of French colonialism intersperse with the glorious oriental heritage of the Vietnamese people. Exciting Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City), magical Hoi An, colonial Hanoi and spectacular Halong Bay all combine to make up a stunning kaleidoscope.
