Soak Up Southeast Asia’s Green Season
Southeast Asia’s green season from June to October brings refreshing rains and cool breezes that make travelling in the region a surprising delight. During this lush time of the year, curious travellers can visit popular sites with fewer crowds all against a backdrop of white fluffy clouds and mountains shrouded in rolling mist.
It’s the perfect time to plan the 7-day Khmer & Lao UNESCO Heritage Sites journey from Secret Retreats travelling from the ancient temples of Angkor in Cambodia to the hidden UNESCO site of Vat Phou in
southern Laos and beyond.
Book the journey as a whole or visit each destination individually and extend the journey to the Laotian capital of Vientiane...

Extend Your Journey to Vientiane, Laos
Discover one of Asia’s smallest and most relaxing capitals – Vientiane – staying at Lao Poet Hotel, an urban jungle retreat located in the heart of the city. Previously home of a well-known Laotian poet, the hotel has been recently refurbished taking inspiration from 1930s Indochine design interspersed with modern, creative touches. Stroll to visit Vientiane’s oldest surviving temple, Wat Si Saket and continue your day visiting Laos’ most important national monument, Pha That Luang, and Patuxai, the country’s version of the Arc de Triomphe.
