Tips

  • The formal greeting for locals is the ‘Nop’ where your palms are joined together at chin level, in a praying gesture.
  • Avoid touching people's heads or placing your feet on furniture as this is not culturally acceptable.
  • School children are required to practice their English speaking skills with tourists as a part of their curricular requirements, so don’t be surprised if they ask you to sign a form.
  • While trekking, don’t stray off the path as there may be unmarked mines in the rural areas. Your tour guide will give you detailed instructions so you can stay safe.
  • Dress conservatively and neatly especially when visiting temples or religious shrines.
  • When taking a swim in a waterfall or a river, wear a t-shirt and shorts instead of a bikini or swimsuit.
  • Remove your shoes and leave them outside when you enter the houses of local people.
  • Remember to smile and say ‘sabai dee’ when you meet locals, it means ‘hello’.

  • "The Delights of Asia tour we took was absolutely wonderful. We customized some parts of the tour to fit our schedule. It was truly an incredible experience that I will do again If I was in Asia."
    In Love with Luang Prabang
  • "We had a customized Backyard trip for four people. The tour was unbelievable and the accommodation was first class all the time and of much higher standard than we ever expected with some of them having breathtaking sunsets and river views. Some of the things we did were; cruising down the Mekong, cave exploration, seeing how coffee is grown, visiting rubber plantations, local villages and amazing waterfalls, kayaking, and cycling. It was a perfect mix of guided and free time.I highly recommend Backyard travel and will definitely do one in the future."
