Cycle Indochina & Angkor
Reviews
Add your own reviewExcellent sights, cycling could be improved
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.
Most Inspirational Moment
Out of all the temples, I felt that the jungle covered Ta Prohm was the best.
Thoughts on Group Leader
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.
Advice for Potential Travellers
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.
Ground staff great, UK support poor
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.
Most Inspirational Moment
Seeing Angkor Wat
Thoughts on Group Leader
Absolutely brilliant. Rit could not be faulted. He was caring, funny and knowledgeable.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Book your own flights
Does what it says on the tin
A lot of cycling with some very long routes
Most Inspirational Moment
It was all inspiring, even Ankor Watt was just one of many temples.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Rit was furst class, a very good group leader
Advice for Potential Travellers
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.
Cycle Indochina
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!
Most Inspirational Moment
Sunrise Ankhor Wat and cycling into the vibrant celebration of Vietnamese Lunar New Year!
Thoughts on Group Leader
Seen was an excellent guide, watching over us and the team all the time. Encouraged us to try crispy tarantula!
Advice for Potential Travellers
Have a day or so In Bangkok at the start to allow to adjust for time difference and see the city.
Outstanding taste of three countries.
A brief but fulfilling experience of Thailand , Cambodia and Vietnam through well chosen sites , cycle routes and expert guides.
Most Inspirational Moment
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.
Thoughts on Group Leader
An outstanding individual who went above and beyond to support , advise and gel with the group from start to finish.
Advice for Potential Travellers
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.
Great trip with plenty of variety
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.
Most Inspirational Moment
Too many things to mention. The variety of experiences was brilliant.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Totally awesome
Advice for Potential Travellers
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.
Three very diverse countries
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.
Most Inspirational Moment
Amazing to see development go hand in hand with preserved local traditions.
Thoughts on Group Leader
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.
Advice for Potential Travellers
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.
Excellent guide, disappointing cycling
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.
Most Inspirational Moment
Angkor Wat and the Mekong Delta
Thoughts on Group Leader
As above - Issy was brilliant
Another great trip
A wonderful adventure through three amazing countries that have their own unique identities despite being neighbours.
Most Inspirational Moment
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.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Nut was superb. Happy to go the extra mile. Full of ideas and recommendations.
Advice for Potential Travellers
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.
Another fantastic trip
My last Exodus trip was cycling Kerala (just before lockdown) and it was fantastic. This trip to Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam was just as good. We had 18 in Kerala and no couples, this one was only 13 and mainly couples so different dynamics but another great group. The whole trip was well organised, especially considering we had to travel through 3 different countries. Nut, our main leader was fantastic and went above and beyond in my opinion. All the many other guides, mechanics, drivers etc were also great, friendly, helpful and informative. I enjoyed the longer cycles in Thailand but feel we saw less of the real country than Cambodia and Vietnam. Lots of culture with temples, rice fields, water buffalo, boat trips etc. The killing fields and S-21 in Cambodia and the War remnants museum in Ho Chi Min City were sombre with many personal horrifying stories from our guides. The home stay was a highlight, lovely accommodation in the Mekong Delta and with a chance to try cooking our own Vietnamese food. Bikes were good, food excellent and nice hotels. Note for next trip, check flight options as there seemed to be a variety of options that were slightly more direct.
Most Inspirational Moment
Too many, Ankhor Wat, S-21
Thoughts on Group Leader
Nut was absolutely brilliant. Couldn’t have done done more for us all.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Check out flight options. Enjoy every minute! Cycling does depend on the group. The Kerala trip was supposed to be harder than this one but I found this one harder as some of us struggled in the heat - 37c - and long cycles at a decent pace. Kerala was shorter cycles, not as hot (around 27c) and flat apart from the challenge of Ooty Hill.
