Laos, Vietnam & Thailand The 3 week adventure.
This page is dedicated to our recent, life changing 3 weeks in SE Asia. We worked with the travel agent KimKim who connected us with Exotic Adventures and Elena in Hanoi who did all the hard work. With at least one interesting event per day, we had a rich inside view to history, family, religion, food and architecture — an amazing adventure even if it meant taking 8 flights!
Our trip started with a quick stop in Bangkok. A dawn swim at the hotel pool was an excellent remedy for jet lag and then we were off on a food tour of Bangkok. We walked off our market feast by touring the lesser known temples and neighborhoods.
And a quick flight to experience the quiet temples of Luang Prabang, Laos. A quiet walk with the elephants through the jungle brought them close up to see their individual personalities.
Then on to the cool, chaos of Hanoi. Preparations were in progress for the Lunar New Year.
And finally back to the warmth of Chiang Mai, Thailand. Final chill out was Khao Lak for pool time and massages.
