Read our full newsletter here: October Newsletter – Rural and Local Communities in Southeast Asia

We’re thrilled to meet valued partners and new faces at WTM London 2024. Visit Saffron Travel at stand N12-238, ExCel London, from November 5- 7.

In this newsletter, we highlight unique rural experiences in Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia. First, let’s dive into some important flight updates. Discover pristine landscapes, vibrant cultures, and authentic local life. In Vietnam, consider Mai Chau, a peaceful retreat in Thanh Hoa Province, just a short drive from Hanoi. Stung Treng, a lesser-known gem in northeastern Cambodia, lies along the Mekong River near the Laos border, offering a tranquil escape with rich biodiversity and cultural experiences. The Pakse tour (Pakse – Wat Phou – 4000 Islands) provides a deep insight into the beauty and culture of Laos.

Enhance your journey with charming local stays. Saffron Travel offers delightful options such as Pu Luong Retreat, an ecolodge in Pu Luong Nature Reserve; Zannier Hotels Phum Baitang, an elegant escape in Siem Reap; and La Folie Lodge, a serene retreat on Don Daeng. Each venue offers a unique experience, immersing visitors in the distinct local cultures of each region.
