If you haven't explored any countries in Asia yet, now is the time to start checking things out and making plans. Asia offers so many great opportunities for any type of travel you desire: beach, mountain, cultural, city and much much more. Beyond the natural wonders, the historical and cultural wonders will entertain and delight.
Thailand
From the unreal sprawl of Bangkok, a teeming 21st century city dotted with golden temples, to the white sand beaches of the south washed by a jade-green sea, Thailand offers all the stunning scenery you’d expect of a tropical paradise combined with colourful South East Asian culture. Thailand has long been a favourite destination of travellers, and you could stay with hill tribes in their villages in the forests north of Chiang Mai, explore beautiful islands on the Gulf of Thailand or head into the jungles of Khao Sok. This diversity of landscape combined with the legendary friendliness of the people means that Thailand is a place you’ll want to keep coming back.
Japan
Japan is an intricate blend of East and West. It’s cities may look Westernized but beyond first impressions there’s very little about this Asian nation that could lull you into thinking you’re in the West.
It’s been only some 140 years since Japanese opened their doors, embracing Western products wholeheartedly, yet at the same time altering them and making them unquestionably their own. Anyone who’s eaten sushi, driven a Toyota or used a Sony Walkman feels they know something about this slinky archipelago of some 6800 volcanic islands and yet, from the moment of arrival in this oddly familiar, quintessentially oriental land it’s almost as if you’ve touched down on another planet.
China
With rich cultures, stunning deserts, breathtaking mountains, modern cityscapes and rural villages, China is like 50 countries rolled into one – and we want you to experience it all first hand. From budget to deluxe, family or individual, our trips include: the Trans-Mongolian Express, treks along the Great Wall, pilgrimages to mountain temples, adventures on the Silk Road, camel rides through the desert, visits to imperial palaces and home stays in the Tibetan grasslands, gourmet and photography adventures-there is something for every type of traveller!
Vietnam
Vietnam is a land filled with vibrant yet traditional cities, a pulsating history, captivating natural beauty, delicious cuisine and exotic wildlife.
Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) is Vietnam’s thriving commercial center and is the largest city in the country. It is a shopper’s paradise with trendy boutiques rubbing shoulders with traditional street markets. The city’s best-known market is Ben Thanh Market where you can buy anything from fresh fruit and flowers to the latest imported electronics and cosmetics. It is also a great place to take a step back and explore Vietnam’s history at the Reunification Palace and War Remnants Museum.
