A 33-day small-group journey across Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam and Laos, blending basic stays, sleeper trains and a Mekong slow boat with Angkor sunrises, beach downtime and a northern hilltribe trek.
  • Watch sunrise over Angkor Wat, Bayon, and jungle-clad Ta Prohm.
  • Sail Halong Bay among limestone karsts, exploring otherworldly island caves.
  • Swim among phosphorescent plankton off Koh Rong after sunset.
  • Hike to Pha Ngeun viewpoint overlooking Vang Vieng’s limestone valley.
  • Visit Kuang Si waterfalls and swim in turquoise jungle pools.
  • Cruise the Mekong by slow boat, with a village homestay experience.
  • Experience a Baci ceremony with hosts along the Mekong River.
  • Trek between Karen hilltribe villages, then bamboo raft the Mae Tang.
A mix of hotels, guesthouses, hostels and homestays features throughout. Expect simple rooms, multi-share nights (usually 4–6 per room), and mostly shared bathrooms. Highlights include a Mekong River homestay with communal sleeping and mosquito nets, and Chambok Homestay’s basic squat toilet and bucket-style shower.
