Is this trip right for you?
-
This trip includes a cycling tour around Sukhothai Heritage Park, so a level of confidence on a bicycle will be required. That said, the roads are quiet with minimal traffic, and within the confines of the park it will be easy going.
-
You will visit a number of temples which require a level of modesty. You will need to bring clothes that cover the arms and pants or skirts that go past the knees. A light scarf is also a good idea for covering shoulders and arms when it’s hot.
-
There is an included visit to the Cu Chi Tunnels. Going inside the tunnels is optional, but maybe best avoided if you are likely to feel claustrophobic.
-
The bloody rule of the Khmer Rouge is a painful but important part of Cambodian history to confront. If you would rather not visit the Tuol Sleng Prison Museum and the Killing Fields of Choeung Ek, just let your leader know.
-
It’s important to prepare for hot and sticky temperatures during the day and cooler climates in the evening in some locations. Layers are the best way to tackle this disparity in weather.
-
The heat can be challenging in the tropics. Be sure to dress accordingly and stay hydrated, especially in April and May.
