Cambodia & Thai Island Beach - Mar 26 - 14 nts - £2,871pp (2 people) economy flights
Our "Complete Cambodia" holiday normally ends on a Cambodia beach, but as the 4 Rivers Floating Lodge is very close to the Thai border it's very easy to add the island of Koh Chang and then fly home via Bangkok. This client was a big fan of Thai beaches and had never been to this part of Thailand so it was perfect finale to Cambodia tour. If you'd like to break your journey in Bangkok on the way home it often adds very little.

Laos By Rail - Jan 26 - 12 nts - £2,880pp (2 people) economy flights
Laos by rail is very achievable as most stops are just an hour or two from each other. This holiday concentrates on Laos and uses the train to make the 4 centre tour more cost effective and to show 3 very different parts of this beautiful country. Travel from the capital Vientiane by the banks of the Mekong, up to Luang Prabang the UNESCO highlight and then further by car and train off the beaten track into the northern hills. We included flights in and out of Vientiane but you could fly home from Luang Prabang via Hanoi or Bangkok.
