Stay in twin-share hotels, with occasional alternative accommodation of similar standard if usual rooms are unavailable. Early check-in isn’t always possible, and pre/post-tour nights may require a room change. In Laos, some hotel rooms can be windowless or have limited views; one night is spent on an overnight train.
