Hands down the best trip ever!
My mother and I went on a 4 star, 12 day tour of Thailand and Vietnam and it was hands down the best trip we have ever taken.
From the very beginning, they helped us make our itinerary exactly as we wanted it, including everything we wanted and omitting those that weren't all that interesting to us.
The whole Indochina Tour Staff was extremely kind and accommodating, the hotels were were nicely located and really comfortable.
Our tour guides were always on time both at the airport and to pick us up in the hotel every morning. The restaurants that they took us to were very tasty, had varied meal options and always kept in mind our dietary restrictions. All of our guides were very knowledgable, kind and made our whole experience memorable and very special.
Thailand and Vietnam were both really wonderful places with kind people, tasty food, amazing sights and a very rich culture.
I highly recommend Indochina Tour to make your trip amazing.
Thanks to Ivy and Helen for helping us plan, Mimi in Bangkok, Nat in Chiang Mai, Nam in Saigon, Luat in Hoi An and Nat Pham in Hanoi for making our trip the most wonderful experience.
Kindly,
Camila and Yuri

Extensive travels through south and north Vietnam seeing the the best cultural and non cultural sights
The tour of Vietnam for 13 days was done by Elena of Indo China Tours. Elena was brilliant and highly recommend her and the company.
Kea was very helpful as well. Thank you Elena, our family of 12 had a fantastic time
2025.5.6
Charming organisation
Helen and Ivy were extremely patient, efficient and speedy with what was a very challenging ask for a busy tour of 3 countries in 24 days. how they managed to orchestrate private cars, taxis, ferry, internal flights and 11 hotels without any hiccups was quite extraordinary.
constantly charming, nothing to much trouble (but quite sure I drove them mad every time we changed our plans!). Personally I would like the two of them to come and organise our lives for ever! Thank you.
2025.5.6 (London, UK)
Amazing trip to Siem Reap organised by IndoChina.
Our trip was amazing!
It was organised by IndoChina by Srevpov and Kea.
They are very helpful, took complete notice of our requirements and ensured all happened as expected.
I also must our guide Chan who was perfect. He knew everything, took our wishes into account and was always on time.
We started in Siem Reap and were taken care of our guide Chan and our driver.
Our hotel, The Aviary was lovely. Spacious and light and there was a swimming and a bar which served food as well.
Our first day we were taken to the Landmine Museum, which was as expected very sad albeit interesting.
We stopped for a lovely lunch and after the went to the Museum of Buddahs.
A very impressing museum with over 1,000 Buddahs on display.
A return to the Aviary for a dip in the bath before we went out on the town, to Pop Street.
Very popular, especially for the food and entertainment.
One our second day we went to Angkor Wat which was amazing and very, very impressive and interesting. Not one to miss!
One our last day there was festivities as it was the first day of New Years Day in Cambodia.
After that we were taken on a boot trip where we stopped for a drink before being taken to the airport to make for our next stop going to Laos. I would definitely recommend IndoChina to organise your trip and absolutely not miss out on a trip to Siem Reap and Cambodia or any of the bordering countries!
2025.4.30 (Fuengirola, Spain)
Family Tour in Thailand
Having visited Vietnam last year, we engaged Srey for the second consecutive year, and our trust was well-placed. This time, we explored Thailand from north to south with daily excursions and a private guide. Overall, the experience was fantastic. The itinerary and attractions were consistently engaging, even for our children (aged 9 and 12), and we thoroughly enjoyed our time in Thailand.
We particularly appreciated the elephant experience, our stay at the floating hotel, and our guide Jira, who looked after us in Bangkok with dedication and discretion.
Furthermore, Indochina Tour's ongoing assistance with check-in and accommodation changes has been nothing short of outstanding. If you are a family with diverse needs, seeking an authentic experience, and have limited time due to the school calendar, we highly recommend maximizing your exploration of a large area like Thailand by engaging a serious and local tour operator such as Indochina Tour.
Thank you, Srey, Kea, and the entire team!
2025.4.30
Month-long trip through Thailand Vietnam Cambodia and Laos. It was a very interesting, unique, varied and attractive trip.
Excellent and unique experience in Southeast Asia Happy would hire Indochina Tour again.
Special thanks to Elena and Kea. The itinerary was varied and full of new adventures.
2025.4.28 (Santiago Metropolitan Region, Chile)
Wonderful Experience
All was well organized from the booking to the tour organization. We had a great experience exploring the culture, history & foods. All done with great Cambodian hospitality. The hotels were exceptional. We finally ended up in a beautiful seaside resort island. Thanks for the program. We highly recommend this efficient & reliable agency.
2025.4.17 (Lausanne, Switzerland)
Highlights of Vietnam North to South (14 Days)
It's hard to put into words how amazing this trip was. From the accommodations, service, food, and daily activities/excursions, everything was outstanding – not to mention our wonderful guides who were all knowledgeable, authentic and friendly.
Even before we left, the level of professionalism and attention to detail exhibited by our Indochina Tour advisors, Amara and Kea, made me confident that this would be a really good trip.... but even with the bar set high, this trip far exceeded all our expectations still.
I would 100% consider using IndochinaTour.com for planning another trip in the region, and highly recommend them to anyone else who is considering one.

FAQs about Planning a Myanmar Trip
Is It Safe to Visit Myanmar Now? What Parts of Myanmar are Safe? 
Travel to Myanmar is open, and visitors continue to enjoy the rich culture and pristine nature of the country. The tourist centers with the main attractions in Yangon, Mandalay, Bagan and Inle Lake are great places to visit that are safe for tourists.
Visitors to the country are warmly welcomed by local people. You'll find everyone happy to share their culture with visitors. Maintaining a safe environment for tourism is important for Myanmar, and people will do their best to ensure your stay is trouble-free.
It is still best to exercise caution. Stay up to date on the most recent information and follow recommended travel advisories. It's best to avoid travel in rural areas, and the northern and northwestern provinces.
Is It Easy to Get into Myanmar? How Do I Get to Myanmar?
The easiest way to get to Myanmar is to fly into Yangon. Direct flights are available from major transportation hubs such as Dubai, Seoul, Beijing, Singapore, and Kuala Lumpur. Connections from regional capitals like Hanoi, Bangkok, Vientiane, and Phnom Penh are also available.
A limited number of international routes are available to Mandalay. Flights can be booked from Kunming and Bangkok. Domestic flights between Yangon and Mandalay are available daily.
Do I Need a Visa to Visit Myanmar?
Tourist visas are required for international travelers visiting Myanmar. Travelers are recommended to apply through Myanmar's eVisa program. Visas are typically issued within three business days and are valid for a single-entry stay of up to 28 days.
To apply for the E-visa, go to the official government website, and upload a scan of your passport information page and photo. Provide proof of a return ticket and hotel reservation and pay the 50 USD fee. The visa will be emailed to you when completed, and you can show the electronic copy upon arrival at the airport.
What is the Best Time to Visit Myanmar?
Myanmar has a tropical climate with three seasons. From November to February, the weather is cooler and dry. Average temperatures in Mandalay are between 23°C and 26°C, with almost no rain at all. Planning outdoor activities is easy, and conditions are ideal for hiking or exploring the cities.
Some travelers prefer the shoulder season when fewer tourists are visiting. Dry conditions continue through March and April, but it starts to get hot. Yangon sees temperatures in the high 30s. October is still relatively cool, averaging 28°C, but there is some lingering rain from the monsoon season.
How Many Days Are Enough for a Myanmar Tour?
Plan on 6 to 12 days for a tour of Myanmar. The best highlights to see are in Yangon, Bagan, Mandalay, and Inle Lake, so you'll need a couple of days in each place.
Start in Yangon with sites like Shwedagon Pagoda and a trip to Kandawgyi Nature Park. Then, fly to Bagan to see the city's Buddhist ruins and beautiful lacquerware in the rural village of Phwasaw and Minanthu.
Mandalay needs in-depth exploration. Visit Atumashi Monastery and U Bein Bridge and see the traditional bronze casting and woodcarving workshops. From Mandalay, you can make the journey to Inle Lake and bask in the pristine environment and tranquil pagodas.
Is Myanmar Cheap to Visit Now? How Much Does a Trip Cost?
Currently, traveling to Myanmar is more affordable than it has been in the past, due to a decrease in tourism resulting from the ongoing civil conflict.
I believe this is the best time to visit Myanmar, as the reduced number of tourists offers a unique opportunity to experience the country in a more intimate and authentic way.
However, it’s important to travel with a local travel agency, like ours, to ensure a safe and well-organized experience.
Budget around 30-50 USD per day for an average trip in Myanmar. Food, transportation, and tourist attractions are very affordable in Myanmar, but hotel prices can raise the total cost.
Comfortable hotels can be found between 25 and 60 USD per night. The quality can vary a lot, so check online reviews before booking.
Street food and dining in local restaurants cost around 1-5 USD per person. The average taxi fare around Yangon is usually 2-3 USD.
How Much is $100 in Myanmar Currency? Can I Use US Dollars?
Myanmar's currency is the Kyat (MMK). At recent exchange rates, 100 USD can be exchanged for 209,865 MMK. Some establishments in tourist areas will accept USD, but it is recommended to use local currency.
Exchange rates given at restaurants and hotels are not always favorable. It is better to find the best rate at a bank or exchange counter.
How to Keep Safe when Visiting Myanmar?
Myanmar's tourist centers are safe places.
Crime is minimal, limited to opportunistic pottery crimes like pickpocketing and bag snatching. Keep an eye on your belongings, and exercise a general level of caution.
The ongoing troubles in the country are unpredictable but mostly affecting rural areas. Tourist attractions remain open and safe to visit. Like anywhere else, avoid isolated or unlit areas at night.
It's best to fly between different cities rather than traveling overland. Staying up to date with the local situation can keep you informed on places to avoid, but flying will better ensure you remain in safe areas.
What to Wear when visiting Myanmar?
Local culture is conservative. You won't see many people in shorts or sleeveless tops, and it's best to follow along. The longyi is preferred by both men and women. It's a single piece of cloth wrapped around the lower body like a skirt. Perfectly adapted for the climate, it will keep you cool.
Modest clothing is essential when visiting temples and religious sites. Clothing must cover your knees and shoulders. Hats, shoes, and socks must be removed before entering.
Dos and Dont's When Visiting Myanmar
Do smile and say hello, learn some basic phrases in the local language for greeting and thanking people.
Do be respectful of local traditions, people in Myanmar are proud of their traditional practices.
Do ask for permission before taking people's photos, and don't interrupt anyone engaged in meditation or prayer.
Do support local small businesses like restaurants, spas, and taxis.
Don't ask people about the current political situation.
Don't buy antiques. Support Myanmar's cultural heritage by buying arts and crafts.
Don't touch anyone on the head, and women should avoid touching monks in any way.
Don't engage in any public displays of affection.
Can I Travel to Myanmar Independently? Or Should I Travel with a Local Agency?
Independent travel is allowed in Myanmar. Do your research first and plan a clear itinerary, but once you're there, you should have little trouble making arrangements. Taxis and motorcycles can take you around in the cities, and flying between different destinations is straightforward.
Booking travel through a local agency is recommended, however. The situation in Myanmar is complex, and a local guide will be up to date on the latest travel conditions. Local expertise also helps for a smoother, and more immersive experience. Guides can show you the hidden gems and provide insight, background, and history of the places you visit.
