Multi Country Tours, South East Asia Overview

A tour of Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam and Myanmar, starting and ending in Bangkok.

This trip makes a circuit of South East Asia, visiting Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam and Myanmar, starting and ending in Bangkok.

Join Earthbound Expeditions on this tour of the highlights of Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam and Myanmar. It combines World Heritage Sites, natural landmarks, small villages and some of the best shopping in the world in one trip, along with the local food and drink.

You see the natural beauty of Ha Long Bay and the Mekong Delta (Vietnam), the mountains of Laos, the floating farms and villages of Inle Lake (Myanmar) and long stretches of beach. You visit the ancient temple sites of Angkor Wat (the largest temple in the world) and Bagan (with over 3,100 temples and stupas in one place).

You have time to relax in Luang Prabang (Laos), where you can watch the monks collecting alms, and in Hoi An (Vietnam), where we recommend trying the local coffee and tea. You visit many temples decorated in gold, shop at the night markets in Luang Prabang (Laos) and Siem Reap (Cambodia), and experience modern Asia in Saigon, Hanoi and Bangkok.

If you plan to shop a lot, bring an extra suitcase for the garment district of Bangkok and the shopping districts of Hanoi and Saigon.

At every stop you can enjoy the local cuisine and plenty of fresh fruit. We especially recommend Chon coffee in Vietnam and the local teas across South East Asia.

After a long day of touring, you can book a spa treatment. South East Asia is known for its massage and Ayurvedic spa treatments.

This trip offers a broad introduction to the region in a single journey.

Excellent tour

September 2014, Tripadvisor

This was our first time in Nepal and Earthbound made it a great experience, Rajan and our guide Pradeep Tamang, have been excellent in giving us the best experience possible. Pradeep was very welcoming, knowledgeable, funny and made sure that we were comfortable at all times. The facilities we stayed in all exceeded our expectations. Pradeep has been an amazing guide and I would recommend Earthbound Expeditions as well as Pradeep Tamang to anyone visiting Nepal.

Fantastic Backpacking Experience

June 2014, Tripadvisor

Traveling to Nepal not only gives us a feel and appreciates the diversity in all aspects, it also gives a new definition of what customer service means. The good feelings my family experienced makes us loyal and satisfied customers of Earthbound Expeditions. From the initial stage of trip enquiry, tailor-making of our itinerary to the execution phase, it was a relief to know that all of the logistical details had been taken care of and still we can modify the itinerary while on the trip. Thanks to Rajan and team especially Arjun for putting together such a great trip for us. Rajan’s follow up calls when we were at Chitwan was heart-warming. Even though we are back in Singapore, we are surprise to receive greetings through Rajan’s email. What a great after-sales service. Having traveled to numerous countries, I single Nepal as being my favourite country. What could be so good about it? Earthbound Expeditions make us, as customers, feel special and important.

Wonderful Tibet and Nepal Trip

June 2014, Tripadvisor

My friend and I went on a tip to Tibet and Nepal after graduating from medical residency. I've been to a number of other interesting places in the world, but I must say that this destination makes the top of my list. Both regions allow you to really appreciate the inspiring beauty in spirituality and religious piety. We do not see this in the West anymore, unfortunately. Go soon because the culture, even in once remote Tibet, is changing due to secular influences. We also witnessed some of the most breath-taking natural wonders of the world. Trekking through the Himalayas, I was able to witness the most beautiful, majestic, and terrifying mountain range mankind has ever encountered. And learning about the history of the region really makes you feel small and realize that, as a Westerner, your perspective on the world really is limited. Earthbound Expeditions, along with Tibet Kyunglung Travel Service, made this all possible. Rajan was a great organizer for the trip. He was always prompt in returning our emails and answered all of our concerns, and he took care of all of the fine details, including transportation, stay, and food. We recommend Earthbound Expeditions with the highest enthusiasm, and we hope that you will be able to, and humble enough, and make it to the roof of the world.
