Indochina is one of the most culturally interesting and diverse areas in the world, with tourists travelling from all four corners of the globe to uncover its secrets. It seems to many that Cambodia, Vietnam AND Laos are untouched by the modern era, locked in a timeless state. Each has fascinating cultures and histories waiting to be explored.
