VIETNAM
Vietnam defies description. Beyond the quintessential rice paddies and conical hats, beyond the famous cliffs of Halong Bay and buzzing streets of Hanoi lies a bounty of wonders that would take a lifetime to discover. While a short weekend trip will give you a taste of Vietnam, travelers who stay longer will be rewarded with a wealth of memories and experiences unlike any other.
CAMBODIA
Angkor Wat is the centerpiece of any Cambodia vacation- and for good reason! The majestic monument, as well the dozens of other temples in the vicinity, are worthy of your bucket-list. Aside from temple hopping, there are plenty of things to do in neighboring Siem Reap or you can venture further into Cambodia with visits to the capital, Phnom Penh, the coastal beaches or the rugged northern hinterlands.
LAOS
Laos is a hidden gem in Southeast Asia. Overshadowed by the popularity of neighboring Thailand and Vietnam, Laos has relatively few tourists and a timeless charm found nowhere else in Asia. The UNESCO-Heritage listed town of Luang Prabang is a great place to spend a few days immersed in the rich cultural fabric of Laos but if you have longer, there is plenty more to discover in this magical land.
THAILAND
It is no secret that Thailand is one of the world’s top tourism destinations. Nature lovers, culture buffs, foodies and families- there is something for everyone in this diverse, dynamic country. Add to the mix Thailand’s friendly people, well-priced accommodation and ample flight options and it is easy to see why the ‘Land of Smiles’ is a perennial travel favorite!
INDONESIA
From the beaches to tea plantations, volcanoes to exotic wildlife, Indonesia offers up a remarkable mix of marvels to explore. The archipelago has more than 6,000 inhabited islands and endless miles of tropical waterways. Indonesia is a great destination for a beach break but those who venture away from the coast will be awe-struck by the country’s authentic culture and natural wonders.
MULTI-COUNTRY
Why limit yourself to just one country on your holiday? Pair two or more destinations for a more immersive Southeast Asia journey. With excellent regional flight connections and the Odyssey Travels team taking care of all the logistics, you can forget about the stress of travel and focus instead on enjoying this dynamic, diverse region.
