Starting at the Angkor Temples and then adding a tour of Vietnam is our most popular combination. The best summer weather will be on the central Vietnam coast around Hue and Hoi An. When flying with Vietnam Airlines there are good connections home from Hoi An and so the client decided to miss out Saigon to create a well balanced, relaxed, 2 week holiday that finishes on the beach.

This client wanted to mix the well known with a bit more off the beaten track, whilst broadly following the Mekong River. We did this by including a boat transfer from Phnom Penh to Chau Doc, a town just over the Vietnamese border in a less visited part of the Mekong Delta. You then transfer to Can Tho, the delta's capital and home to some of the best floating markets before finishing with a few days on the beach. A stay in Saigon can be easily be added.

As you'll see on other quotes starting at the Angkor Temples and then adding a tour of Vietnam with beach is our most popular combination. The best beach weather will be on the central Vietnam coast around Hoi An (if travelling in winter stay on south Vietnam coast). Vietnam Airlines offer good connections and Premium economy flights. The client wanted to visit a maximum of 3 places and was interested in the Mekong Delta, so it was an easy selection: Angkor, Saigon and Hoi An beach.

With a budget of under £2,000 we were also able to include time in Phnom Penh and Saigon to create a varied yet cost effective holiday.

This client wanted a Cambodia holiday that included a degree of overland touring with a deluxe beach hotel at the end. The problem was that the only deluxe hotels on Cambodia's coast are "super deluxe" and so very expensive. We therefore recommend that they flew over to Nha Trang in Vietnam where there are plenty of superb deluxe hotels and some of the best beaches in Vienam.

Cambodia & Thai Island Beach - Mar 21 - 14 nts - £2,441pp (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.

This family of 5 wanted to combine the historical highlights of Cambodia with adventure and elephants. To achieve this we extended an overland tour between Phnom Penh and Siem Reap with a night on an island in the middle of the Mekong and a 2 day / 1 night Elephant Experience. A beach was essential at the end and the best summer weather would be enjoyed in Hoi An on the central Vietnam coast, just a short direct flight from Cambodia.

Laos Highlights with Thai Beach - Nov 20 - 15 nts - £2,381pp (2 people) economy flights
The remit was a week in Laos and a week on a quiet Thai beach with a maximum budget of £2,500pp. We suggested a two centre stay in Laos to enjoy Luang Prabang (essential in any visit here) and then the south around Champasak, where the Mekong River breaks down into a myriad of arms and channels that surround tiny islands, sandbars and islets to create a virtual water world. Phuket is an easy flight via Bangkok, but they preferred the quieter resort of Khao Lak an hour north.
