16 Days Southeast Asia Experience: Thailand, Laos & Cambodia Tour Package Duration: 16 Days / 15 Nights Priced From: $8475 pp Dbl. Occ. Dates: Jul - Dec
Your Southeast Asia experience begins in Thailand's capital city, known to Thais as Krung Thep (the City of Angels). It holds the essence of the Thai spirit, and is very much the heart of the country. The Golden Triangle, the area where the borders of Thailand, Myanmar, and Laos converge, is your next destination.
Home to several different hill tribes each with their own customs, culture, religion, clothing and language. Thailand's second largest city, also known as the Rose of the North, is blessed with rich historical and cultural heritage. Long isolated from outside influences, the people of Laos practice a traditional Southeast Asian way of life. Evidence of their devoutly Buddhist culture is everywhere in Luang Prabang.
Cambodia has a rich and glorious history, most famously represented by Angkor Wat, which is one of the Seven Wonders of the World, and an unequalled feat in ancient architecture a splendid way to complete your journey.
