Overview
This 13-day exploration of the Southeast Asian countryside will keep you guessing at every turn. Kick off in Bangkok, wind through northern Thailand with some good times in Chiang Mai and then cross the border into Laos, where you’ll be able to see the authentic side of this landlocked country. Cruise on the mighty Mekong, laze in the beautiful Luang Prabang, explore a natural paradise in Vang Vieng and finish up in sleepy Vientiane. From street food tastings and sunset hikes to heaps of free time to go cave exploring, get a massage or swim under waterfalls – this trip shows you so many sides of Thailand and Laos that you never knew.
