Round The World - South East Asia - FAQ
South East Asia is a very interesting, fun, safe and beautiful part of the world. It has a well trodden backpacking route for good reason. This is a flexible trip showing you the best sites in Thailand, Laos and Vietnam! From bustling cities, to UNESCO sites and from stunning beaches and Islands to lakes with dolphins.
South-east Asia is a backpacker’s dream. Food and drink will be your biggest expense. You can eat well in most countries for as little as £3 or £4 a day. Unless you’re intent on luxury, a night in a decent guesthouse in Cambodia will set you back around £4 should you choose to over land that section.
Is Asia save for single travellers?
Asia is perfect for first time travellers as most practice Buddhism, and that has a lot to do with respect. Important is to read in to the customs of the countries you will be visiting. For example, topless sunbathing is offensive, and so is petting someone on the head or showing the soles of your feet when sitting down... Just so you know!
These programmes are suitable for firts time travellers because there is a lot of guidence! And it is easy to get in contact with other travellers!
What about Cambodia?
Currently we do not offer Cambodia as a destination, this does not mean you have to leave it out of the itinerary though. You can easily cross overland from Bangkok to Vietnam, covering Cambodia in a week. The bus will cost about £20.
Many choose to fly direct from Bangkok to Hanoi in Vietnam skipping Cambodia, especially if they are nervous about travelling independently, contact us if you are unsure of what is right for you.
