Beyond The Mekong

Description
This exciting tour uncovers northern Thailand before taking us deep into South-east Asia's lesser-known countries of Laos and Cambodia. We cruise along the Mekong River by slow boat, explore caves and meet welcoming villagers. A trip highlight is the journey into the heart of the Cambodian jungle to explore Angkor, the world's largest ancient temple city.
