Departing from Bangkok every Monday between 10 January and 17 April 2011 and 24 October to 27 December 2011, this tour will take in the major historical sites of Thailand: Sukhothai, Kampaeng Phet and Si Satchanalai. Along the way, learn about rural life in the rice-growing areas of Central Thailand and the Lanna culture of the North. Then embark on one of Southeast Asia's iconic travel experiences,  a two day river cruise along the mighty Mekong river.
The longboat stops at a remote riverside village where guests can witness local conditions, not much changed over the last few decades. The trip ends in Laung Prabang, but Khiri Naga offers a host of options starting her, to continue your trip through Asia.

Laos is not making world headlines on a daily basis....Vietnam is. The contrasts between these two countries are really fascinating. Vietnam is quickly becoming a major power in the region while Laos is just....relaxed. What these countries have in common are the friendliness of the people, the majestic landscapes and the fact that they are wonderful destinations to combine in an exciting and unforgettable trip. Do I need to say more?

Caravan to Laos? Yes, no planes. Just trains and buses from Bangkok to Luang Prabang.

This trip is designed for adventurous, hardy travelers, wanting to see more of Laos. Starting with an introduction to the famous Thai kitchen, then overnight train to Northern Thailand, we take you across the Mekong River, through the jungle-clad mountains of Northern Laos to Luang Nam Tha, on the border with China. Here you go an a hike through the Nam Ha Nature Reserve. 

The trip ends in Luang Prabang, one of the gems of Southeast Asia. Here you can visit Kuang Si waterfall where turquoise water on the limestone rock clatters down.

On this program you will travel overland through Thailand and Cambodia – with breaks in Siem Reap and Phnom Penh – all the way to Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon), departure every Tuesday and Saturday. Changing landscapes, three different countries with each their own identity, a enormous variety of delicious food, floating markets and homestay in the Mekong Delta and as, of course, the magnificent ruins of Angkor. What a trip!

Old and new capitals. Bangkok and Angkor. Can you imagine a greater contrast?

This trip is just packed with exciting stuff. Name one person who doesn't enjoy Bangkok and Chiang Mai.... OK, those persons don't exist. We will take you there. You will meet the remarkable Long Neck people, originally from Burma. 

We will also show you around The Golden Triangle before you find yourself wandering through centuries old ruins in Angkor. 'Nuff said!
