By: Nicole Long- Laos Country Director I know that Lonely Plant tells you that the best time to visit Laos is between the months of October and February. They say this because it’s the dry season and you won’t have to worry about the rains and the temperatures are much cooler than the rest of the year. On one hand I agree with them- during this time of the year the temperatures drop to resemble […] View full post » By: Sarah Greer- Journeys Within Guest 2012 I lived in the Kingdom of Laos in 1968 as a foreign exchange student (AFS), spending most of my time with my Lao family in the capital, Vientiane. I was privileged to drive on the then-new gravel road to beautiful Vang Vieng, at that time a very sleepy country crossroads, where I marveled at the karst mountains and rice paddies.

I just recently finished sorting through over 3000 photographs I took on a recent holiday. My travel companion kept telling me to watch my shutterbug finger because she knew about the pain I would be going through later. Now I completely understand her warnings. I have never sorted through so many from a trip before; at least one where I was only there for 10 days. It makes […] View full post » By: Heather Van Hull- Booking Coordinator, Cambodia The Angkor temples, with their intricate carvings and stunning architecture, are mesmerizing and are a must for every visitor to Southeast Asia. Simply wandering around their ancient winding passageways and climbing over bits of jungle-laden rubble is a lifelong memory. Last month I was given the amazing opportunity to join in on a 30-minute scenic flight with Helistar over Angkor with two of our customers. Words cannot even […] View full post » By: Kwanchanok ‘Jeab’ Meechai- Thailand Country Director This is a nice snack you often see being cooked by the side of the road. It is called Khanom Buang. It looks a bit like Mexican tacos but the taste is of course very different. The pictures here were taken from Silom Road when I just walk pass by when I go to work. It looks simple but I assure you that it is harder than it […] View full post » |
