Welcome to the far east
While the use of the term ‘Far East’ may not be geographically correct, we use the term to differentiate these seven countries from the population or commercial giants of Japan, China and India. We offer these countries under the ‘Asia’ designation. Our Far East refers to destinations that were, for the most part, colonies of European powers, most notably France, Britain and Holland. Today, each country is different but they share common attributes. They are all bustling and independent with a youthful population, world class hotels, innovative cuisine, impressive temples and pristine beaches. Let us open up this area to your imagination.
Cambodia
Cambodia’s geography has played a substantial role in shaping its history. It's central location along the Indochinese Peninsula and the relatively flat terrain facilitated the rise of the Khmer Empire which flourished from its base in Angkor for over 500 years. In the simplest terms, Cambodia is defined by legacy, contrast and courage. Their outstanding arrays of historical offerings provide insight into its esteemed history while beaches, tours and jungle remain ripe for your discovery.
Thailand
Thailand creates different perceptions in people’s mind, mostly based on age and the movies we have watched. For some it is the Royalty of ‘The King and I’ for others, it could be OO7, racing through the canals or more recently ‘The Hangover.' In this case, reality is always better than fiction. All our trips are private, limited to six friends/family and custom designed to fit your interests - whether that is history, shopping, cooking or just getting to know the people, from the slick Bangkok Sky Bar to Akha hill tribe people on the border with Burma. Thailand is known as the ‘Land of Smiles’ and we give you a lot to smile about.
Vietnam
From the hill tribes on the Chinese and Burmese border to the exotic waterways of the Mekong Delta in the South. Vietnam is a mosaic of emerald green paddies, seemingly endless white sand beaches along its coastline and the combination of tradition and modernity in its towns and cities. Vietnam offers endless opportunities for personal enlightenment and fulfillment. Whether it’s cycling through the verdant rice paddies around Hoi or being absorbed in the Saigon traffic on a Vespa or sampling delicious street food in towns from south to north, Vietnam will fill the senses of any traveler whether intrepid or occasional. Let us create an experience just for you.
