We have just returned from celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary with a fabulous three-week adventure in Laos and Thailand. This was our fifth holiday with Sundowner Holidays, and once again they provided perfectly located boutique hotels, great excursions, seamless connections, and knowledgeable guides. Our sincere thanks go to the whole team for putting this wonderful itinerary together. We look forward to planning our next trip!

Our Laos trip was fantastic! We wandered through Luang Prabang’s temples, cruised the Mekong River, and swam at Kuang Si waterfalls. The hotels were comfortable, the guides friendly and knowledgeable, and everything ran smoothly. A holiday of a lifetime!
