Thailand Travel - Adventure Tours
This Grand Indo-China
loop trip offers a
wonderful chance to
explore two of South
East Asia's great
cultural centres, the
North Thailand hills and
Laos' Mekong Delta.
There can be no better
way to witness the
stunning scenery and
experience the
friendliness of the
people. After an opening
tour of Bangkok, we
journey to Chiang Mai in
the north. Here we trek
by foot and on elephant
back - plus rafting on a
bamboo raft - to the
hillside villages. A
highlight of Chiang Mai
will be the holy Wat
Phrathat Doi Suthep
temple visited by
Buddhist pilgrims all
year round. Next, it's
on to Laos - a country
standing in great
contrast to Thailand and
one hardly touched by
tourism. Its landscape
is both stunning and raw
and its people welcome
visitors with open arms.
The highlight of this
leg of the tour is a
truly memorable boat
trip on the Mekong River
with the chance to see
in all its splendour the
spectacular and
ever-changing scenery
and the rural waterside
life. Following on from
there are visits to the
cultural centres of
Luang Prabang, with its
monks in their colourful
robes going about their
religious rituals, and
the capital Vientiane.
