Trip at a Glance

Small Groups: Never more than 10-16 travelers—guaranteed!

Visit Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam, the area once called Indochina by French colonists. With a rich, diverse cultural inheritance from India, Thailand, and China; ancient imperial histories; a mixture of Hindu and Buddhist religions; and the romantic remnants of French colonial architecture, Indochina is the perfect setting for a thrilling OAT adventure. On this in-depth journey through Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam, we delve into the distant past. You’ll explore the UNESCO World Heritage Sites of Bangkok, Luang Prabang, and Angkor Wat ... discover the lost kingdoms of the Khmer, the Lao, and the Vietnamese ... and tour some of Southeast Asia’s most impressive temples and palaces. Along the way, you’ll meet local residents in their villages and schools; uncover traditional crafts like silk-weaving and paper-making; and discover some of Southeast Asia’s most remote locales. It’s an adventure like no other.
