Kampot is a small provincial town in Cambodia’s south-west corner, offering relatively little to anyone other than the most intrepid adventure traveler. However, for the adventure traveler it’s a paradise, offering access to Bokor National Park, a huge variety of hiking tracks and enduro biking areas, and the waterfall at Teuk Chrreu.

Laos’ relaxed and charming capital, Vientiane moves at a different pace to the standard South East Asian capital city. Roads are relatively unpopulated, people aren’t frantically trying to reach every destination and hotels and guesthouses are relaxed, accommodating and ready to help you out with whatever you need.
