    I had a different guide in Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia which made sense because they hire locals. The groups were quite small and the accommodation was better than I was expecting. All the guides were super helpful. I wish more activities and food were included in the cost of the tour however these countries were relatively cheap if you played your cards right. Would recommend if you want to get a good idea of these countries so you can go back! It’s best to pack clothes that are light weight but appropriate for temples as you will visit A LOT of temples. Bring a bag you are comfortable carrying on your back as this is needed at times and be open to what the group want to do! Had a blast feeding elephants, visiting the white temple, eating as many Bahn Mi’s as possible, crossing the Mekong River and seeing the sun rise over Angkor Wat.

    Sally

    Asked on June 30th, 2023

    Is it really only available until 29 years old. And if so why.

    Age Range
    • Intrepid TravelOperatorWritten July 2023

      This trip is for 18 to 29-year-olds. Some of our under-30 travellers prefer to get around with people their own age.

    Asked on June 18th, 2022

    would I need any visas for these countries or can I get in with a travel visa and will I be the one to sort all that out like I need to book the flights to Bangkok?

    Flights / Transfers
    Visa
    • Intrepid TravelOperatorWritten June 2022

      Visas are the responsibility of the individual traveller. Entry requirements can change at any time. It is important that you check your government's foreign travel advisories along with the consular website of the country or countries you are travelling to for the most up to date information specific to your nationality and circumstances. Thailand visa: If entering by air most nationalities will be granted a 30 day stay on arrival. If entering by a land border, you will be granted a 15 day stay only. Laos visas should be obtained at the border. Vietnam visas most nationalities are required to obtain a tourist visa in advance. Cambodia visas can be obtained via eVisa or on arrival.

      I am coming from UK so it looks like I can get the Thailand visa on arrival and apply for the Vietnam one easily enough. Still, for the Cambodia one, it asks for the port of arrival and since we go from Vietnam the only listed one is Bavet (Svay Rieng) is that the correct place? Also, could you give a rough estimation of how much each currency to take?

    I am interested in this tour. I was wondering though, by the time I would go, I would be 34. How strict is that age range listed on the trip?

      Unfortunately our age policy is strict and we cannot accept anyone about the age of 29 on this tour. Please have a look at our South East Asia Loop tour which is open to all ages.
