Just cam back from the Indochina trip, really enjoyed it. Made a video about it, if the future travellers want to know what to expect. https://youtu.be/wxvuuzrSLDE?si=H0rPRX3B_j199x1N
Would be nice if we had extra day in Bangkok. And the free day in Saigon could be a bit more organised.
Angkor Wat was amasing. Would love to spend more time there
Maled was great leader and fun. He went over and beyond to make everyone happy.
Road is very flat. Be aware of hot weather. Bring some electrolytes
This was a good adventure through three countries, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam. Starting with Thailand, the first day’s cycling had a mix of temples to see as well as cycling but I felt that day 2 and 3 we were just cycling to get out of Thailand with not much to see and was a bit boring. Cambodia was amazing with not just the amazing Angkor complex, but also the more sombre sights of Phnom Penh, S-21 and the Killing Fields, where our local guide’s personal stories really made you think. Vietnam was different again, with much better scenery for cycling and a lovely stay in the Mekong Delta. Saigon, you are left to explore on your own. I visited the War Remnants museum and the Independence Palace, which both were an interesting visit. The local teams who organised the cycling, were well organised with a special shout out to the Vietnam team, though their roads were the bumpiest.
Out of all the temples, I felt that the jungle covered Ta Prohm was the best.
Seen was the overall leader from Thailand . Due to the rules for Cambodia and Vietnam, he does have to defer to the local guides there. But overall, from an organisational perspective, he did alright, getting us all over the borders effectively.
There's no time in Bangkok. I regret not getting there a couple of days earlier to have a look around. Also, if cycling in June like me, expect very hot and humid conditions which makes even light exercise tough, let alone the 50 mile plus days in Thailand, so do prepare yourself for that.
We booked 2 trips to run together. Booking them intialyy was difficult as the agent couldn’t grasp what we were trying to do and kept quoting the wrong direction and got confused over airports. As a result we ended up flying from London as it was easiest for him to understand. Questions were left unansweredand at no time was it acknowldged that we were doing the 2 trips as one. The final hotel of this trip was supposed to be the same as the first of the next but infact we had to move to a different hotel. Overall an excellent trip was let down by the UK support team.
Seeing Angkor Wat
Absolutely brilliant. Rit could not be faulted. He was caring, funny and knowledgeable.

A lot of cycling with some very long routes
It was all inspiring, even Ankor Watt was just one of many temples.
Rit was furst class, a very good group leader
Keep a eye on you money, I had about £200 stolen from my bum bag, most likely from my room in one of the longer stay hotels. As it wasn't my daily money so I didn't find out until unpacking at home.
Mostly flat, although the long days are very hot and you feel the undulations! 3 different bikes, countries and cultures! Covering a lot of distance both in the van and cycling!
Sunrise Ankhor Wat and cycling into the vibrant celebration of Vietnamese Lunar New Year!
Seen was an excellent guide, watching over us and the team all the time. Encouraged us to try crispy tarantula!
Have a day or so In Bangkok at the start to allow to adjust for time difference and see the city.
A brief but fulfilling experience of Thailand , Cambodia and Vietnam through well chosen sites , cycle routes and expert guides.
All of the sites visited were fascinating but none of them would have been brought alive without the exceptional support of local guides and outstanding interaction from the group leader. The history and culture of each country would have been an overwhelming amount of detail to research without their succinct and poignant commentary.
An outstanding individual who went above and beyond to support , advise and gel with the group from start to finish.
Pack light and either brook the cost of using ATM’s or risk wasting unused local currency. Taking Sterling is pointless and dollars / cards are not always usable.
This is one of the best trips I have done with Exodus. It provided the opportunity of seeing aspects of 3 countries – landscape, cities, temples, history, culture, and food. The cycling added to the experience and the daily pace was perfect, giving time for rest and relaxation at the end of each day. The hotels were all very clean and comfortable and the bikes were good with excellent support from the 3 crews. Our tour leader Chai was amazing – really well organised, knowledgeable, thoughtful and supportive, with a great sense of humour. I recommend wholeheartedly it to anyone who likes an activity holiday in an interesting part of the world.
Too many things to mention. The variety of experiences was brilliant.
Totally awesome
Don’t be put off by the cycling distances. The long days were on mainly flat terrain and there was plenty of time to undertake the journeys. I would advise arriving a day or so early to help with jet lag before starting the tour. Payments are mainly cash. Take out Baht and US dollars.
A great trip through three very diverse countries. Logistics executed seamlessly by our guide Chai and all three local teams. I cannot praise them enough. The first few days in Thailand are a bit tough due to the heat and long cycling routes, sometimes with no shade but that’s all forgotten with the beauty of the temples of Cambodia and the Mekong Delta as you head into Vietnam. A mix of vibrant capital cities, bustling towns and peaceful villages. There’s never a dull moment on this trip.
Amazing to see development go hand in hand with preserved local traditions.
Chai was great. Organised, good humoured and always available for everyone. He knew how to ensure that everyone had the holiday they were looking for and how to meet a range of different needs.
You'll be on the move a lot, so make sure you take a couple of extra days at the end of the trip somewhere more peaceful (not Saigon!) if you want to wind down and relax. Don't be afraid to do your own research into restaurants and experiences and head off on your own in the evenings whenever you want without the group. Don't worry if you're not a top cyclist. Get in the van and cool off whenever you feel you need to relax. These countries are way too interesting to just keep your head down and grind out kilometres on the road. Take things at your own pace (the team is 100% on board with you doing that) and make sure you take the time to really look around you and take lots of photos. Bring dollars for Cambodia or withdraw them from the ATM in-country. Most everything else you can buy along the way. Bring an extra bag for souvenirs, clothing, spices etc. to take home! There's lots of shopping opportunities.
We have been on a number of Exodus cycling holidays and have had some superb guides. Issy matched them all. She had tremendous energy, worked extremely hard with good nature and an infectious smile. Nothing was too much to ask and she always went over and above to make sure everyone was happy. She had a serious incident with one of the guests during the holiday which she handled professionally and with great competence. Exodus would be well advised to use Issy in future trips. The cycling was disappointing – many days of flat uninteresting roads with lots of traffic in Thailand and Cambodia.it was only the last two cycling days in the Mekong Delta that made us remember how good these cycling trips usually are. There was no feeling of a journey and the route had been poorly conceived. The ebikes were problematic and the transport by minibus in Thailand too cramped and the bus in Vietnam on its last legs. Not good enough for Exodus standards.
Angkor Wat and the Mekong Delta
As above - Issy was brilliant
A wonderful adventure through three amazing countries that have their own unique identities despite being neighbours.
Angkor Wat was always going to be the highlight of the holiday and it did not disappoint. Yes lots of temples but each had different qualities. Then the harrowing visit to the prison and the killing fields brought back memories that we’d witnessed from afar.
Nut was superb. Happy to go the extra mile. Full of ideas and recommendations.
Keep hydrated. The cycling isn’t difficult but the conditions are taxing. Hot and humid but if you’re a reasonable biker you’ll be ok.
