Four Country Journey

This superb journey combines Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam in one spectacular two-week journey.

Travel through the north of Thailand from Chiang Mai through the Golden Triangle region of Thailand to Luang Prabang, the cultural capital of Laos and on to Saigon & the Mekong Delta via the Temples of Angkor.

Begin with 3 nights in Chiang Mai, ample time to explore this charming city. Two half-day local experiences have been included.

From Chiang Mai drive by private car to the Golden Triangle region, with a full day tour included the following day to explore this remote corner of Thailand.

From the Golden Triangle you will transfer to the border with Laos and board your Mekong cruise on the Luang Say for a fabulous 2-day journey down the Mekong to Luang Prabang.

Cruise down the Mekong River, visiting some riverside villages and spending the night in a comfortable lodge by the Mekong with all meals included.

Stop to visit the famous Pak Ou Caves before arriving in Luang Prabang.

Spend 3 nights in the cultural capital of Laos, with a half-day city tour and a visit to the Elephant Conservation Centre included.

From Luang Prabang fly directly to Siem Reap in Cambodia, with 3 nights included to discover the Temples of Angkor.

Fly from Siem Reap directly to Saigon and spend 3 nights in the city with an overnight cruise in the Mekong Delta included to round off a varied and exciting journey through some of the best of South East Asia.

As with all of our South East Asia holidays, this one is entirely amendable to suit your interests, time and budget. So just let us know your preferences.

The hotels included in this itinerary are Superior Hotels, roughly the equivalent of 3.5-4 star hotels. If you prefer a different standard of hotel, just let us know - everything can be adjusted to suit you.

Luang Say Cruise

Luang Say Mekong Cruises has three boats travelling from Huay Xai to Luang Prabang and vice versa.

All programs stop over for one night at Luang Say Lodge in Pakbeng.

Each boat is 34 metres long with a 420 HP engine and a steel hull for strength and safety.

The boats have a capacity for 40 people seated in comfortable chairs and benches. Each seat has an open air vista.

There are also some coffee tables with magazines and booklets to read during the cruise.

The central section of the boats have bench seats, a perfect spot for a game of cards, to share your Mekong stories, or to have lunch.

Each cruise departure has an English speaking guide who is able to answer your questions and point out the many sights of interest along the way.

The crew also consits of a captain, a qualified mechanic and a boat boy.

There are two western style toilets on board, one at the back of the boat as well as one next to the bar in the central section.

Life jackets are carried on board in a variety of sizes including sizes for children.

There are also rails around the sides of the boat for passenger safety.

Luggage can be stored and locked securely overnight in a large compartment underneath the deck.

Luang Say Lodge

On the left bank of the river, the Luang Say Lodge is backed by mountainous jungle.

The Luang Say Lodge sits peacefully above the river, blending artfully into the natural environment through careful landscaping, raised platforms and indigenous styling.

It features 20 large pavilions, each elegantly furnished in dark-toned wood and white fabrics, and offering stunning panoramic views on three sides of the Mekong.

The large pavilions of solid teak and rosewood all have beautiful views over the Mekong and the mountains beyond.

The traditional Laotian architecture provides accommodation of comfort and character, each bedroom equipped with high ceiling mosquito nets, electric fans and a large private bathroom with hot shower and western style toilet.

A central riverbank restaurant is reached by wooden walkways from the pavilions.

Here you can enjoy fine, mainly organic, food and can order a choice of drinks from the well-stocked bar.

A buffet dinner of traditional Lao food and continental breakfasts are served in this restaurant area.

On days with passengers exceeding 20 people, there is normally an ethnic minority dance performance in the restaurant area.

The performers are a mixture of Luang Say Lodge staff, local villagers and school children.

The Lodge also has a fully equipped bar serving soft drinks, beer Lao and spirits.

Laotian coffee, tea and drinking water, are included free for the duration of your stay at the Lodge.

Is this a Private Tour or a Group Tour?

All of our tours are private tailor made itineraries, customised for you - we can amend things to entirely suit you.

You will have your own private car, driver and guide on excursions on our tailor made tours.

Shore excursions on the Luang Say cruise are on a shared basis.

What are the departure dates?

Let us know your preferred dates of travel and we will find the best and most suitable flights to fit your itinerary.

The Luang Say departs almost daily in both directions.

Which Airlines do you use?

We work with all the major airlines flying to this part of the world.

Typically for this journey, Thai Airways or Vietnam Airlines would be the airlines we most often use as they have normally have the most direct flights and best fares.

However, just let us know your preferred airline if you have one. We can organise flights from any regional destination in the UK.

Which Hotels do you use?

We're careful with our choice of hotels, but we're guided by our customers also. If you have some preferred hotels, just let us know.

We specialise in boutique hotels and so we will often suggest some of our favourite smaller hotels where we think these will be suitable.

We keep on top of hotel developments in Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam from our office in Vietnam and regularly inspect the hotels we use.

Luckily in Chiang Mai, Luang Prabang, Siem Reap and Saigon there is a great choice of boutique hotels and very nice places to stay.

Do you cater for Solo Travellers?

Yes, we have many solo travellers, and both Thailand and Laos are both very safe, friendly and welcoming destinations for those travelling alone.

River cruises on the Mekong through Laos are a popular option for solo travellers, especially with Pandaw Cruises who offer no Single Supplements on many departures.

How long have you been organising holidays to Thailand & Indochina?

We've been organising tailor made holidays to Thailand & Indochina for over 10 years.

Our team has a wealth of combined experience in the industry and our Director has been involved in organising holidays to Thailand and Indochina since the early 1990's.

Our partners on the ground in Thailand and Indochina have over 20 years experience in operating there.

They understand the region extremely well and have a strong infrastructure of staff, guides and vehicles.

We've had the same partnership in Thailand and Laos for over 10 years.

How does your office in Vietnam help?

We have our own staff in Saigon which helps in many ways with our customers in Indochina and South East Asia.

It helps us to keep on top of any new hotel and travel developments in the region and forge stronger relationships with hotels and other partners.

We regularly do our own inspections of hotels and destinations in the region.

Should our clients need any assistance during a trip, we always have at least one of our own staff on the same time zone, and we're open 7 days a week in Saigon.
