Journey through Laos

This Classic Laos tour will take you from the north of Thailand through the Golden Triangle, down the Mekong to Luang Prabang and on south via the capital Vientiane to the historic region around Pakse.

After a night in Chiang Rai in Thailand, head to the border with Laos and board the Luang Say for a riverboat journey down the Mekong to Luang Prabang, staying one night in the lovely Luang Say Lodge en route.

This is both a spectacular and relaxing journey along one of the most scenice stretches of the Mekong. You'll experience the river and see riverside life at close hand.

You'll have 3 days in Luang Prabang to discover why the town is one of the most loved destinations in South East Asia. Also spend a day at a nearby elephant sanctuary.

Fly to the capital, Vientiane, with a full day of sightseeing with a visit to the Buddha Park included.

From Vientiane, fly south to Pakse where you'll enjoy a 3 day cruise on the Vat Phou and discover historic temples, a wilder side of the Mekong River and some spectacular waterfalls.

From Pakse you'll have a night in Bangkok on your return which is a chance to recap your journey, do some shopping or relax before flying home.
