Tour to unspoiled Mekong River region, Old Angkor Wat temples in Cambodia, rural life of centuries ago, mountain region of Loei province, Vientiane - the capital of Laos and Khao Yai rainforests.
On this tour we shall ride 700 kilometres along Mekong river through Isaan where you can observe Thai rural life as it was centuries ago. This is the region least touched by progress and somewhat misses out on the prosperity experienced by other parts of the kingdom. We shall start on eastern coast of Siam Bay, visit the Angkor Wat, the colourful Isaan villages, relaxing tree-lined avenues of
Vientiane-the capital of Laos, intriguing forest temples, noisy Indochina market in Nong Khai, take a boat trip across Mekong to Laos and to prehistoric rock paintings and admire the natural wonder of tropical rainforests of Khao Yai. Two days in the seaside resort near Bangkok, three days in Khmer country
including a day excursion to Angkor Wat in Cambodia, six days along Mekong
river, a day in Vientiane, two days in the mountains of Loei and Khao Yai and finally a day
on the beach again. You will get your visa for Laos and Cambodia at the border (only passport required).
