IndoChina Express

When researching this trip we heard many stories of Luang Prabang as being a city with a soul. From its UNESCO World Heritage listing to protect its french architecture, to its 32 Wats and unique flavours in their cooking, we hoped it would be the perfect ending to our fairly busy and adventurous tr

So we’re back in Luang Prabang, Laos, after a week of travel to and from The Gibbon Experience in the northern Bokeo Province. Here’s a quick snapshot of what it took to get there: 6 hours in a minivan driving on cliffs at 100km per hour (we hit one cow and broke down in the [...]

So Vang Vieng typically divides people when asked their opinion. It’s either a filthy mecca for alcohol fuelled backpackers, or it’s one of the most unique, beautiful and special places on the planet. We feel it can be both. We really only touched the surface of both of these facets – taking a tame

Ahhh the sleepy city of Vientiane, capital of Laos PDR.  Arriving here was a nice change of pace after Phnom Penh!  Biggest differences we noticed straight off were WAY less Tuk Tuks and street vendors, and a much cleaner less chaotic city. Out hotel was one street back from the Mekong and we scored

So you know how you expect to see, experience and smell things in a strange city you wouldn’t at home?  Yeh?  Well we can now officially tick that off the list of things to do on this trip! We spent our second day getting a little closer to daily life in Phnom Penh – we [...]

Today we went to the Genocide Museum and the Killing fields in Phnom Penh.  There is very little we can say to do it justice or to actually share the emotional experience it has been. From April 1975 till January in 1979 an estimated 3 million Cambodians were killed by their government of the time [

So we’ll be the first to admit a restaurant with the crazy name of Deaf Fish Tower and the promise of live crocodiles inside was enough to drag us in. What we discovered was a very cool restaurant with an awesome staff culture and some really tasty Khmer food – and as the sign says, [...]

The sensory overload continues on Day 2 of our Temple Adventure. We needed to be up at 4am to get to Angkor Wat in time, so I set the alarm on my phone to wake us up!  We jumped out of bed ready to go, scoffed down some pastries we’d purchased the night before for [...]

We preface this post by saying: COME TO CAMBODIA AND SEE IT YOURSELF! No amount of words, photos or videos we post could ever paint a true enough picture of the diversity and sheer majestic beauty these temples make. Considering they are classed as ruins, the magnitude, detail and complexity of thei

We now understand why the number 1 attraction on Tripadvisor for Siem Reap is the Quad Bike Adventure Tours! We spent 4 hours Quad Biking through the Cambodian countryside on a private tour with a local guide. The Quad Biking tour was setup by a local Frenchman, and in conjunction with a local Cambo
