This is the Indochina experience that takes us from Bangkok to Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City) via Laos and Cambodia, immersing 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. The Mekong Delta region of Vietnam and Saigon completes our journey that links two of the great cities of Asia with a journey of discovery.
