Intriguing Indochina
It’s the perfect time to make this classic journey to Indochina. From sunrise at the temples of Angkor to sunset over the Mekong Delta, you’ll enjoy the privileges and luxuries our small group allows. In Bangkok, take a privately guided tour of the Prasart Museum, which houses an eclectic collection of art and antiques. Explore the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Angkor, with its intricate temples and stunning architecture — then cruise the Mekong River as the sun goes down. Travel back in time in serene Luang Prabang, with a visit to a local village and an opportunity to participate in the tradition of giving daily alms to the Buddhist monks. In Hanoi, attend a fascinating performance of water puppetry, a Vietnamese tradition that dates back to the 11th century. Join us — and experience the mystery and elegance of Indochina for yourself.
