How Do We Work?

Laos Travel Plan specialises in pre-booked, independent travel. You can build your own itinerary using a combination of our short Laos tours (modules). We’ve travelled far and wide in Laos and created our modules using some of our most memorable experiences. You can pick and choose the mini-adventures that appeal to you most, from hill tribe trekking to caring for elepants to UNESCO World Heritage Towns. We've chosen as many small-scale hotels and family guesthouses as possible, in order to give you an authentic Laos experience. We'll also string the modules together by arranging your local transport in Laos.

If you've never travelled to Laos before, or need some help getting started, then take a look at our Laos holidays. Here, we’ve combined a number of our modules in a logical order to create longer and more complete Laos holidays. However, modifications are still possible to these itineraries, for example a day less here, a day longer there etc. Once again, you're in charge. 

Step 1: Choose your Trip

There are 4 easy steps to travelling in Laos with Vietnam Travel Plan:

Step 2: Your Personalised Quote

Once we've received your enquiry, we'll put together a personalised quote just for you, using the modules or itinerary you selected. We’ll link your modules together using our local knowledge. In Laos, modules are normally linked together by local bus or internal flights. For shorter distances we can also offer private transfers.

Your personalised itinerary will contain further details on the module or itinerary you selected as well as a quote for international flights. Of course, we'll also include any personal reccommendations we think would help you get the most out of your time in Vietnam.

If you decide that you'd like to tweak your itinerary, just let your travel specialist know and we'll make the necessary changes so that your itnerary is just right.

Step 3: Book your Trip

When you're ready to book your trip, just complete our online booking form with all your details. You can then give us a call on 01273 322043 so we can collect your deposit for the land arrangements and full payment for any international flights if you're booking them through us.

Our deposit system for your land arrangements is based on your departure date and works as follows:

Departure in 3 calendar months or more: 25% deposit
Departure within 1 to 3 calendar months: 50% deposit
Departure in less than 1 calendar month: 75% deposit

Once we've received everything we need, we'll send your booking off to our local office to get confirmed, leaving you time to sit back and relax while we do the hard work for you!

Step 4: Your Trip in Laos

After you’ve booked your trip, we’ll email you a package of travel documents, including full accommodation details and information about our local offices in Laos. This will include an emergency contact number and the addresses of each office. Our local agents will be on hand 24/7 to lend a hand with anything that you need during your trip. Being located within Laos, they are in a strong position to help if any issues arise.

You'll find that our pre-booked independent travel removes the risk and hassle of having to arrange things as you go. Everything included in your personalised itinerary will have been pre-booked, so you can spend your holiday time, on holiday! Yet you'll still have that feeling of travelling independently.
