Meet Antony, our new country manager in Laos

1. How long have you been working for Travel Indochina?

Quite some time! I had I worked for Travel Indochina for 8 years, until 2010 and had been located in Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos. I worked in product and operations in our Saigon office for two years; I then moved to Cambodia in order to set up and operate our offices in Phnom Penh and Siem Reap (and ran those offices for 2 years as Country Manager). After Cambodia I returned to Sydney where I worked in our product team launching our first ever Japan program. continue reading….

Travel Indochina has a new home in Laos

Morning Alms of Laos by Travel Indochina

Morning alms in Luang Prabang, one of the many reasons we've made a new home in Laos.

Pioneered by our Laos Product Manager, Jenn Brown, over the past year we’ve been working to set up our very own offices in Laos. Last week we were finally able to announce the opening of the offices and welcome 5 new colleagues, Antony, Lay, Elee, Nong and Katai to the Travel Indochina team.

With our new offices in the UNESCO protected town of Luang Prabang and Laos’s capital city, Vientiane, we now have 7 local offices in Asia.

What does all this mean for you, our travellers?

Burma (Myanmar)

Tea, temples and tour leading in Burma

1. How long have you been tour leading for Travel Indochina?

I’ve been leading tours with Travel Indochina since early 2012.

2. How many journeys have you led to Burma so far?

I’d say about 10 or more, though there’s been such a rush of interest in the country that it’s hard to count, especially with all the extra departures we’ve added. I feel like I’m part of the furniture here, as I’m back to the country so often! continue reading….

Filming in Vietnam and Cambodia

With over 120,000 channel views, our existing travel videos of Vietnam and Cambodia were starting to look a little tired.

Following on from the success of our HD videos of Laos and India, last October our cameraman Justin joined a group of travellers on our 15 day Vietnam and Temples of Angkor small group tour. While the videos are still in production, here are a few of our favourite images from the journey.

You can browse our full collection of our new HD travel videos from India and Laos on the Travel Indochina You Tube channel.

Suzanne’s top 3 China experiences

The Great Wall by Travel Indochina

The Great Wall of China

Based in our North America office in Denver, Suzanne is one of our Asia specialists and she recently joined our popular 18 day Yangtze & Beyond small group tour through China. Now back on home soil, we asked Suzanne for her top three experiences from China.

1. The Great Wall of China at Mutianyu

This much lesser visited section of the wall is located about 70km northeast of Beijing, a longer drive than most tours but well worth it! I loved that the wall was also an interactive experience. We started by taking a ride in the gondola lift (aka cable car) up the mountain to the base of the wall. Once you climbed the short stairway to get to the top of the wall, the view of the surrounding hills was truly breathtaking! continue reading….

Nancy, from Oxford to Sapa

Landscapes of Sapa

I write this sat on the train back to Hanoi from Sapa. I admit, the sheer vastness and beauty of Sapa has left me utterly exhausted. I cannot recommend it enough and cannot say how deeply the rest of my group enjoyed this trip. Here’s hoping they find this article does Sapa justice…….if not, my friends, please forgive me!!
