Bangkok: Nose around the gilded Royal Palace, then travel like a local: floating down the Rivers. Kanchanaburi: A sombre slice of history. See the Death Railway Museum, WWII Cemetery and the famous Bridge itself. Kanchanaburi: Cool off in emerald pools, shower under a waterfall and get your step count up. All in a day's work. Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya: Golden temples, a giant reclining Buddha and so many incredible sights to see. Try not to fall off your bike in shock! Chiang Mai: Lift your spirits with a trip to this gilded, mountaintop temple. It’s a dazzling work of art with unbeatable city views. Pak Beng: Float down the Mekong from Pak Beng, past craggy caves and sleepy hillside villages. A proper taste of Laos life. Luang Prabang: Definitely the most surreal caves we’ve ever seen. Rock caverns packed with thousands of mini-Buddha statues. Pics or it didn’t happen. Luang Prabang: Cycle around the former capital of Laos. Then visit Big Brother Mouse to help locals improve their English. Luang Prabang: Meditate at this ornate temple, or just marvel at its gilded beauty and take lots of pics. Luang Prabang: Always wanted to live like a Buddhist? Here is your chance to offer an ‘Alms’ to monks, in the spirit of karmic giving. Vientiane: No Laos trip is complete without seeing Patuxai and Luang Stupa. So much gold. You might need shades to look at it. Phnom Penh: A sombre but important remembrance for the victims of the Khmer Rouge. Visit the fields and Genocide Museum. Vang Vieng: Fasten your seatbelts folks, we’re off to Phnom Penh Phnom Penh: Time to take to the sky. Siem Reap, here we come! Siem Reap: Visit Angkor Wat, Ta Prohm and Bayon – where Tomb Raider was filmed. But dress appropriately (no hotpants, soz). Kanchanaburi: Help to protect to these majestic giants by learning about their struggle while watching them roam free - the way they were meant to live. ​ Luang Prabang: Your chance to watch Lao textile artisans at work, making clothes and homeware using special techniques. Vientiane: See the amazing efforts of this non-profit, which gives prosthetic limbs to disabled locals – some of who are victims of unexploded bombs. MAKE TRAVEL MATTER ® Experience Siem Reap: Not only is the food top-notch, this social enterprise, the Tree Alliance Restaurant, makes a mission out of training and employing street youths. Respect.
