Thailand Experience
Starting on the Thailand experience. You fly in to Bangkok and our rep will meet you at the airport. After that you will start your introduction week on Monday. A good way to meet the other travellers and we teach you all about the language, customs, culture of Thailand. You will spend the next few weeks in a groups having some first class adventures. After the first week you can choose one of the following weeks:
Elephant week
Trekking week
Buddhism and Culture week.
You can decide when you are out there which one you would like to join.
Then onto a paradise island!
After all this culture it is time to hit the beaches and some serious night life and relaxation on Koh Tao.
Koh Tao is 21 square km island in the gulf of Thailand, which is well known for being one of the most beautiful Island in Thailand. It is great fun there too with endless beaches, clear blue seas and lots of activities you can join (if you want to ) like snorkeling, diving, rock climbing and Muay Thai training sessions.
Read more about the Thailand Experience on the programme page. The thailand Experience programmes are
After Koh Tao you head back up to Bangkok to start your Laos trip.
Minimum of 4 weeks, Maximim 6 weeks
Discover Laos with the Laos backpacker trip
Many people visiting Asia often overlook Laos, this is criminal in our opinion. Laos is considered by many to be one of the most beautiful countries in South East Asia.
The nature is so stunning and the people are so friendly probably becuase Laos has not been open to tourism for as long as places like Thailand.
So on this trip we include a flexible backpacker bus pass through Laos. Starting and ending in Bangkok it is an easy connection with the Thailand section.
The bus leaves 2 times a week and to see what it all includes check out the Backpacking in Laos programme.
Some of your highlights in Laos can be seen here
Minimum of 3 weeks max 6 months.
North Vietnam Experience
If you think Bangkok is Crazy, try Hanoi. It is completely mental. Bikes, chickens, 1 million different types of tupperware and squid jerky, all around you. New and old, streetsellers and luxury restaurants. Bomb Craters and the wreackage of the ocassional B52 accompanied by 666 the best bear in the world. Everyone loves something different about Vietnam, for us the biggest suprise came from a tiny and hectic street corner, where you pull up a small (read tiny) plastic chair and enjoy a beer for 20 cents.
in and around Hanoi you will visit loads of places, uncle Ho (Chi Mihn) house, water puppet theatres and all the must see spots.
The trip is built up out of 4 different weeks. Introduction week, Culture week, trekking and activity week and a beach week during which we also take you to the world famous Halong Bay. More detailed information you find on the programme page Vietnam Experience.
Minimum 4 weeks. Maximum 4 weeks.
The Trip Ends in Hanoi, you can always do some onward travel after though. We recommend a minimum trip time of 10 weeks.
