If you are not able to ride a bike, that is not a problem and we can arrange alternative transport or activity options. We can arrange arrival and departure transfers. These are priced at 35 GBP per journey.

Traveler•Written June 2025If he books now and then changes his schedule, will he be able to rebook for another date easily?
- The Dragon TripOperator•Written June 2025
The price seen online is the final price, unless the client chooses to add any extras like room upgrade or additional nights of accommodation etc.
- The Dragon TripOperator•Written June 2025
For a payment plan, it would depend on what you set up with TourRadar. We can connect you with a TR agent to confirm this.
- The Dragon TripOperator•Written June 2025
This trip includes 20 breakfasts, 6 lunches & 3 dinners. This could be a selection of the local food on offer in each country, and our Adventure Leaders will take the group to affordable and delicious restaurants or street markets where the group can pick what they want to eat.
- The Dragon TripOperator•Written June 2025
We visit an ethical sanctuary to see the Elephants. They spend time with professionals, learning about elephant behaviours and the sanctuary's conservation efforts in Thailand. If your client does not want to take part, they can be taken to Chiang Mai town ahead of the group.
- The Dragon TripOperator•Written June 2025
International flights to and from the tour are not included. Any flights within the tour (eg. Thailand to Laos, or Laos to Vietnam, or Vietnam internal) are included. For the start and end of the trip (Bangkok) we can advise them on the best time to arrive/depart.
- The Dragon TripOperator•Written June 2025
The trip price remains the same whether you are a solo traveller or travelling in pairs/groups. If they do not wish to share rooms with other travellers, we do offer a Single Room Upgrade, which is priced at an additional £1,100 GBP.
- The Dragon TripOperator•Written June 2025
All optional activities can be arranged on the ground. The Adventure Leader will assist the group to book them!
- The Dragon TripOperator•Written June 2025
Yes, it is possible to change schedule. If the change is made more than 70-days prior to travel, or before full payment is made, we can move his trip free of charge. Within 70-days of travel, fees will apply.

Asked on June 20th, 2025does this trip come with an solo traveler option, or it should be a group?
- The Dragon TripOperator•Written June 2025
This is a group tour that welcomes solo travellers! The majority of guests on the trip will be solo travellers, but sometimes people travel in pairs. Come the end of the trip, you'll likely have made new friends.

Vicky
Asked on June 2nd, 2025I'd like to know if this is group travel or is the itinerary only for us.
- The Dragon TripOperator•Written June 2025
This trip can accommodate up to 25 guests. If you're interested in a private tour, the minimum number of guests we can create a trip for is 4.

Vicky
Traveler•Written June 2025We would like to travel independently through Viet Nam (Hanoi, HCMC), Cambodia (Siem Riep), Thailand (Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai?) and Laos (Shompoo cruise to Luang Prabang). I have already mapped out activities and logistics, approx 25 days. Something more turn key is appealing. If we wanted the 31 day trip done privately, what would be the cost (tour plus local costs)?
- The Dragon TripOperator•Written June 2025
The minimum number of guests we can do a private tour for is 4. Do you have anyone else that might want to join you 2 on the trip?
- V
Vicky
Traveler•Written June 2025No, it is only the two of us.
- The Dragon TripOperator•Written June 2025
I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to build a private tour for you with only 2 people. Otherwise, you could join one of our group tours if that might interest you.

Christopher
Asked on May 15th, 2025I am interested in joining the 31-Day Southeast Asia Adventure: Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, and Cambodia tour with a larger group. I would prefer a minimum of 12+ others in the group. I'll be a single male in my early 40's. I am flexible on dates. Is there one which you would recommend as a better date to pick over the others?
- The Dragon TripOperator•Written May 2025
Historically, our January and February departure have the largest groups as it's the most popular time of the year to go. We currently have 2 people booked on the January 5th departure date and we're confident that the date will fill up closer to the departure.
- C
Christopher
Traveler•Written May 2025For the optional activities, are those paid for at the time of the event or do they require prepayment? I expect to do nearly all of them and wish to plan accordingly.
- The Dragon TripOperator•Written May 2025
All the optional activities on your tour can be booked/arranged during the trip and using local currency (cash), so you do not need to organize them prior to travelling. The Adventure Leader will be able to assist you in arranging these optional activities.

Asked on April 19th, 2025How fit do you need to be to take this tour? I'd say I'm relatively unfit and don't want to not enjoy it. If it isn't the right tour for me, do you have any similar ones that require less intensity?
- The Dragon TripOperator•Written April 2025
This trip is intended for most fitness levels to join. If at any point you feel like an activity wouldn't be suitable for you, then you don't have to participate. We would never force you into a situation you wouldn't feel comfortable. Is there a particular activity you're concerned about on the itinerary?
- J
Joanna
Traveler•Written April 2025It is mainly the jungle trek and the fact I can't ride a bike. Would there be a way to still see the lotus fields etc without needing to ride a bike?
- The Dragon TripOperator•Written April 2025
We'll reach out to our operations team to check if there are any alternatives to the cycling activity and get back to you as soon as possible. This tour can be quite intensive at times with 15,000-20,000 steps per day and activities like the jungle trek and cycling.
- The Dragon TripOperator•Written April 2025
Our team has confirmed that they can help arrange a private vehicle to follow the same path. This would have an extra cost which will be confirmed while on the tour but essentially would be a taxi transfer service.

Asked on April 19th, 2025I want to join the 31-day Southeast Asia tour, and there is an age restriction. I am 51 and I am backpacking India and Asia right now
- The Dragon TripOperator•Written April 2025
I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to accommodate you on this trip. Although our recommended age range is 18-45, the majority of guests that join this trip are 18-25. The recommended age range is based on extensive feedback we've received for this trip over the years we've been operating in Southeast Asia. Additionally, we wouldn't want to recommend you a trip we don't think you would enjoy.

Lucy
Asked on March 24th, 2025Do I need to apply for visa for Vietnam prior to booking this trip or I can apply closer to when I want to travel? Is it easy process to obtain visa or can it be refused?
- The Dragon TripOperator•Written March 2025
It's up to you when you decide to apply for a visa for Vietnam. There's limited advice we can offer on this because they're a legal government issued document and any decision made when applying has to be made by you. I'd suggest you enquire with your local Vietnamese embassy or search the Canadian/Vietnamese government website for more information about visas to Vietnam.
