Luang Prabang: Always wanted to live like a Buddhist? Here is your chance to offer an ‘Alms’ to monks, in the spirit of karmic giving.

Vientiane: See the incredible work of COPE, a non-profit helping locals with mobility-related disabilities, including victims of unexploded bombs. Witness how they provide prosthetic and orthotic devices, surgery, physiotherapy, and rehabilitation - giving people back mobility, dignity, and independence.
Vientiane: This isn't your typical hectic capital city. Today, you'll walk around the peacefully lovely city of Vientiane and admire Laos' version of the Arc de Triomphe - the Patuxai.
Vientiane: It’s bizarre. It’s beautiful. And it has a lot of Buddha statues. This fanciful sculpture garden will leave you with wonder (and a little bit of confusion) in your eyes.

Phnom Penh: Admire the architectural wonder of some of the best buildings from the Khmer Empire of Vietnam – built back in the 1800s!

Siem Reap: Not only is the food top-notch, this social enterprise trains and employs street youth (and also gives opportunities to other marginalized or at-risk groups!). Every bite supports these young locals to build skills, confidence and a brighter future. Respect.

There were issues with money as only USD accepted in Cambodia. I was not forewarned about this. I had AUS dollars and Thai Bhat which proved unpopular and difficult to change in Cambodia. Our group leader Renee seemed inexperienced with no knowledge of where to change money or where to eat/visit at a reasonable cost. My mum had to search back home and sent me a list of money changers in the area.
She favoured excessively expensive venues and didn't seem to have much knowledge of the areas/towns we were in. She tends not to respond to all emails.
I feel had we had a better group leader, it would have added greatly to this trip.

Loved the trip all the locations, activities, hotels and the people I met doing it. The only slight confusion I had was initially the visa situation and the Facebook/messenger I didn’t know we needed.
