2008 Ancient Kingdoms Explorer:16 day Laos, Cambodia & Thailand Tour

Follow in the footpaths of one of Asia's mightiest ancient races

At the height of their power, the Khmers ruled the lands from Myanmar to Vietnam, from China to Thailand. The legacy and influence of this grand kingdom is still evident across the entire region today, a thousand years later. Venture off the popular tourist trails to discover the more remote vestiges of the empire. This journey will take you from the heady Thai metropolis of Bangkok through laid-back Laos and captive Cambodia before culminating at the Khmer kingdom's crowning glory – Angkor Wat.

You will not be disappointed!

"What an amazing trip! Your itinerary was perfect - I loved starting out in dazzling Bangkok. leaving the other tourists behind in some of the most beautiful, of the beaten path towns, and then finishing up at Angkor. Who would’ve thought there were such beautiful hotels in such little-visited areas? Loved it, start to finish." M. Parra - Australia
