Embark on a 9-day journey from Bangkok to Angkor. Explore temples, lush jungles, and hidden heritage across Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia.
Join us for a nine-day cross-border adventure through Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia, exploring temples, rivers, jungles, and timeless heritage. From the moment you touch down in Bangkok, your journey begins with a brief yet vivid taste of Thailand’s buzzing capital. As night falls, you board the overnight train to Ubon Ratchathani, carrying anticipation and excitement into the next day.
Sunrise welcomes you to Ubon, where fragrant coffee and a warm local breakfast set the pace for discovery. Wandering through the serene scripture hall of Wat Thung Si Muang and the distinctive architecture of Wat Nong Bua immerses you immediately in the region’s spiritual heritage. Later, the dramatic cliffs and ancient rock formations of Pha Taem National Park open up sweeping views over the Mekong Valley, one of the many reasons this corner of Thailand is so captivating.
Crossing into Laos, the landscape transforms into lush highlands. The Bolaven Plateau greets you with cool mountain air, twin waterfalls tumbling into jungle ravines, and the rich aromas of local coffee plantations. By afternoon, settle into Champasak, perfectly positioned for the next day’s exploration of the UNESCO-listed Wat Phou.
One of the journey’s most memorable moments awaits at a hidden temple deep within the forest. After crossing the Mekong by local ferry, you arrive at a peaceful picnic laid beneath ancient stones and whispering trees, no crowds, no noise, just the quiet magic of a timeless place.
The next morning, continue toward Cambodia, pausing at the mighty Khone Phapheng Falls before crossing the border and traveling through serene countryside to Sra’aem.
This adventure leads you onward to Koh Ker, where its dramatic pyramid rises unexpectedly from the forest—a striking reminder of the brief yet fascinating period when it served as the Khmer capital. En route to Siem Reap, you explore Beng Mealea, a rarely visited temple swallowed by jungle, its tumbled stones and tree roots offering an evocative glimpse into Angkor’s untamed past.
The final chapter unfolds in Siem Reap. Before dawn, you enter Angkor Wat and watch as the first light reveals the temple’s iconic towers. Here, the remarkable history, artistry, and devotion of the Khmer Empire come vividly to life.
After a late breakfast and a moment to reflect, you depart with a deeper appreciation for Southeast Asia’s shared heritage, and an unforgettable collection of experiences to share with friends and family.
This flexible program offers the ultimate blend of adventure and comfort, ideal for travelers seeking unique and meaningful experiences.
