Top Trips for Keeping Your Carbon Footprint to a Minimum

When visiting Southeast Asia many people understandably want to explore multiple countries, having travelled all that way, but this often means taking hour-or-less flights from one neighbouring country to another. Our 14-day Thailand-Laos Rail Trip allows you to explore a vast stretch of Southeast Asia without adding unnecessary flights to the itinerary. We’ll start in Bangkok, before exploring the ancient ruins, luscious jungles and incredible cuisine of Northern Thailand. Then we swap trains for a river boat as we cross the border into Laos and float down the Mekong river. Meet whiskey-making locals, hike to an extraordinary remote waterfall and kayak on the Nam Song river before catching the sleeper train back to Bangkok.

Ok, we’ve all had the dream of road-tripping around Italy, perhaps even in a classic car, but thanks to the country’s high-speed rail network we’ve put together a thrilling Italian jolly that squeezes Rome, Florence, Siena, Bologna, Parma, Lake Como and Milan all into just nine days – quicker, easier and better for the environment. The only question that remains is what will you look forward to most? The ancient wonders of Rome? The gastronomic joys of culinary capital Bologna? The serenity of Como? Or perhaps the negroni that awaits at the end of our trip in trendy Milan?
