Highlights

  • Vietnam: With many picturesque landscapes, golden sand beaches and breathtaking mountains, Vietnam is considered one of the most attractive destinations of Southeast Asia.

  • Laos: The attractions of Laos are Vientiane, the national capital and Luang Prabang, the ancient capital. Experience some off-the-beaten-track islands such as Don Khong, Don Khon and Don Det.
    Vientiane, Laos’ national capital, mixes French-colonial architecture with Buddhist temples.
  • Cambodia: If Cambodia is not on your bucket list, then it should be! Immerse yourself in spectacular Angkor Wat, one of the Seven Wonders of the World and cruise to Phnom Penh and Siem Reap.
    Thailand: You can find everything in Thailand, from the bustling capital Bangkok, peaceful Chiang Mai, historic Ayutthaya to beautiful beaches such as Phuket, Pattaya and Ko Samui. Thai people are famous for their friendliness and generosity.
  • Myanmar: Myanmar (or Burma) is well-known for its Buddhist architecture in Yangon, Bagan and Mandalay. Refresh your soul in stunning pagodas and monasteries, enjoy amazing food and explore local life.

 

Tips

  • Pay attention to the weather before traveling. North and central Vietnam have four seasons per year while Laos and Cambodia have only two seasons (dry season and rainy season).
  • Prepare cash: There are many ATMs in tourist places, but in the provinces you will have to pay in cash.
  • Be prepared for humidity: wear appropriate clothing and bring extra water.
  • Don’t forget sun protection items: umbrella, hat, sunscreen and sunglasses. Hot and humid weather in Vietnam will cause sunburn.
  • Dress appropriately when visiting a religious site: always keep a shawl or long-sleeved clothing in your bag, as you may be refused entry or offended if you are not properly covered.

It was a lot of fun to visit both countries! I wish i had more time to spend, but the itinerary IDC provided did ensure me the best experience in both Thai and Cambodia in such a short time. Food and accommodations were all amazing, especially at Phuket. Thank you Alex for the great help!

Food lover paradise!!

As a spicy lover i was so excited to try out Thai cuisine for the first time! Amazing flavors really, we were advised to spend time in local markets and sample various street foods, and it did not disappoint. One of my kids cant eat spicy food but she loves Thai desserts, i'd say there is something for everyone here. Love that IDC Travel included a Thai cooking class in the tour as well, being able to understand the ingredients and recipes behind the flavor we eat was a lot of fun to me. Of course the hotels and service are great too, much love to the IDC team for planning this trip for me!! :D

Still great, highly recommend!

We contacted Alex a few months prior to our travel to organise a private tour to the Northern Vietnam (Hanoi, Halong, etc). As we neared the date, we had to make some changes as pandemic has caused some changed on our travel plan. Alex is always very responsive and very flexible with our queries. Our trip was very well organised and everything went very smoothly. All the accomodation was booked according to our preferences. The driver and tour guide was very courteous and experienced. If I have to nit pick, I would probably say that the tour guide could do more with giving us more information about our activities. For example, when we did bike tour, it would be great if he warned us that we will be passing through the major road and sharing traffic with cars and trucks. Or how long the walking tour through the village going to be. Overall, we are very satisfied and I do think the tour is value for money, very well organised, and the staff are more than happy to cater for our needs.  

Beyond satisfied

I found IDC travel online because of the good reviews, and after a day of inquiring, Sir Alex responded right away with a detailed itinerary tailored to our preference! He is very responsive and accommodating with our needs, especially during our travel. Our trip in vietnam was organised, smooth, and really enjoyable! Even the organization of the itinerary and payments went smoothly. Some few comments would be agreeing to the previous review, like having the tour guide give us advices/tips about maybe the weather, what to wear, what to expect during the tours or anything important to bring if necessary so we could prepare better in terms of outfit, what to bring, etc. The drivers are very nice, but it would be even better if they greeted/welcomed us once we arrive. One driver did not have proper signage so we were waiting for quite awhile. Nevertheless, Sir Alex listened to our concerns and came up with solutions right away. Overall, we are very satisfied and it was great value for our money too. We booked another tour with them for Thailand this August. We cannot wait to book with them again in the future.

The term “Indochina” was first applied to the area that the French colonized in the middle of the 19th century; in 1887, it was referred to as a “federation of colonial protectorates” and included what is now Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam. Thailand has always been independent, while Myanmar, formerly Burma, was ruled by the British. Therefore, an Indochina circuit can include up to five nations.

Before the French took control of the Southeast Asian peninsula known as Indochina, European traders and missionaries had established contacts with Asia. The French established Hanoi as their capital, and there are still many reminders of their presence there. Indochina tours packages will always include visits to Hanoi’s architectural wonders. While there are still signs of the former French presence in all of the Indochina cities, it is also obvious that they have transformed into true Asian cities with distinctive and significant cultures and religions.

 


The best time to visit Indochina is between November and February. The weather is drier, less humid and slightly cooler in most of the region, with average temperatures around 30°C. However, plan a warm jacket for the evenings. The rainy season in Indochina is between June and October, which means flooding in the Mekong Delta, but you can see lush rice paddies in Cambodia and Vietnam. If you don’t mind the occasional downpour, the monsoon season is often the best time of year to visit Indochina and avail of great rates on flights and accommodation.

 


Quality over quantity should definitely become your mantra. Although there is no point in spinning from country to country checking off temples as you go, it is possible to do a short two-week or even nine-day circuit that allows you to understand where you are. and what you are going through. There are also three or four week tours that will allow you to discover the region in greater depth and leave you wanting to come back.
