INTRODUCTION
In recent history Laos and Cambodia have been overshadowed by their larger
neighbours; Thailand, Vietnam and China. Even now tourism is having a slow
start in these countries. Not because they are not interesting places to
visit but rather because there are too many other things to worry about.
This in itself makes them attractive destinations for people who want a different
holiday experience. Facilities, though comfortable, are rarely luxurious
and the internal travelling can be rough and unpredictable to say the least.
However the effort to visit both or either of these countries is well rewarded.
Only a few thousand people a year visit Laos and its years of isolation,
its rich history, distinctive cultures, and magnificent scenery have left
it as an unexplored gem.
With its gentle pace of life, its colourful temples and monasteries and smiling
people has great charm and Cambodia with the world renowned Angkor Wat temple
and the centuries old Khmer culture is also very appealing. However, travel
is restricted to areas of the country considered safe at the time by the
authorities and this currently includes the capital and the famous Buddhist
monument of Angkor Wat.

DESTINATIONS IN LAOS
VIENTIANE
Vientiane has a reputation for being the slowest- paced capital city in the
world. This is changing especially since 1994 when the first bridge over
the Mekong to link Thailand and Laos was opened. More traffic is evident
now but it still has the charm of a town rather than a nation's capital.
A leisurely walk around the town and along the banks of the great Mekong
River will take you past several Wats (Buddhist Temples) and monuments. The
Monks are friendly and will often ask you in to get a closer look. The French
influence is obvious in some of the architecture and also in a few of the
restaurant in the centre of town. There is also a great morning market which
makes an interesting visit even for those who hate shopping.
LUANG PRABANG
Luang Prabang is situated at the confluence of the Mekong and Nam Khan. Even
smaller and slower the Vientiane it is a popular place for travellers who
need a rest. There is a tranquillity brought about by the number of monasteries
and the lack of industry. Wat Xieng Thong has magnificent bouganvillea
surrounding the elegant buildings. The Wat Chan Si, perched on the top of
Phousi Hill is worth visiting if only for the view over the town and rivers,
especially at dusk. There are good markets to visit and neighbouring villages
that weave traditional Laos cloth. You can take a magnificent boat trip
up the Mekong to the holy Pak Ou Caves which house thousands of Buddha images.
If you want to go overland to Luang Prabang we can arrange a stop at the
enchanting village of Vang Vieng.
PLAIN OF JARS
The unexplained presence of over 300 enormous jars on a 1000 metre plateau
near the town of Phosavanh is a curious sight. These jars are up to 2.5 metres
high and 1 metre in diameter and may have been used as funeral urns. Some
archeologists believe they are over 2000 years old. It requires patience
and some hard work to appreciate these jars as the tourist infrastructure
is not very well established.
PAKSE
Pakse is situated in the south of Laos on the junction of the Mekong and
Xe Dong rivers. It is at the crossroads of the routes to Vietnam and Cambodia.
As such it has always been an important commercial centre of the region.
The half finished palace of the late Prince Boun Oum of the kingdom of
Champassak. It stands out in obscure contrast to the sprawling town which
surrounds it. More pleasant is the Wat Phou in the nearby town of Champassak.
It has religious significance to the early Hindus and was built 200 years
earlier than Angkor Wat. It now lies in ruins but its overall shape and expanse
give an insight into life in 6th Century Laos. It is also possible to visit
the villages of the Alack and Kalum minority groups for an insight into present
day Laos.

DESTINATIONS IN CAMBODIA
PHNOM PENH
Before 1970 Phnom Penh was considered to be "the beguiling beauty of Indochina".
It is still has a vibrant atmosphere but much of its former glory has fallen
into disrepair. The wide boulevards are now a series of potholes and the
elegant villas and town houses are in need of more than a coat of paint.
Still some of the previous charms have survived such as the Silver Pagoda
and the Royal Palace. In stark contrast to the museums that proudly display
Khmer art there is the Tuol Sleng Museum that tells of the brutality of the
PolPot regime. Just by exploring the streets, you will see many wats and
encounter the warmth of the people.
SIEM REAP/ ANGKOR WAT
Without doubt Angkor Wat has to be one of the most splendid religious monuments
ever built. It was built in the 12th century, at the height of the Khmer
Empire. Initially Hindu and later Buddhist, the exquisite bas-relief work
and sculpture that adorn the temples and buildings recount the myths and
mysticism of the once great culture. Social decline and the encroachment
of the surrounding jungle cloaked Angkor in a veil of mystery that was revealed
by a French explorer in the 1860's. Since that time the work that has been
done to restore the temple complex has been done to restore the temple complex
has not always been successful but the mysticism and spiritualism of this
great place still exists.
