Discover SE Asia accompanied 17 day tour

A 17 day trip which will introduce you to some of my favourite places the region has to offer. You will visit Thailand, Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam. See a mixture of glorious temples and traditional crafts. Expect a warm welcome and enjoy the vibrancy of the cities. Indulge yourself in the wonderful range of eastern cuisine.

Luang Prabang is a UNESCO heritage site. It's a great place to meander through the streets at any time of the day. I have been to Angkor Wat on many occasions, each time I am bowled over by the awesome sight of these incredible temples.
