Journeys
Cruise

In Laos, the Mekong River governs travel and life, from a slow boat journey to a Muang Pakbèng homestay, with a traditional performance to mark the occasion. A sunset visit to Wat Phousi temple and a waterfall excursion are punctuated by the calm of Luang Prabang's old town. Thailand rounds out the trip, with Chiang Mai’s markets and temples before the frenetic energy of Bangkok, including the Grand Palace and canal life.
Transport switches between air-conditioned buses, local boats, slow riverboats, and several sleeper trains — not all for the faint-hearted. Simple accommodation includes guest houses, hostels and homestays, sharing facilities in parts, lending an honest feel to this journey through a lively region.
