  Asked on February 7th, 2026

  Would you be able to provide some more recent reviews please? There are only 3 very old reviews on your page for this trip. Also, what is average age of your groups? Older, or young? Or children? Or middle age? Finally what currency do you recommend for all 4 countries? Can we use USD or does it have to be local?

    Group details:
    Group size: 1–16 travellers
    Minimum age: 15 years
    
    Our groups usually include a mix of ages, commonly ranging from young adults to middle-aged travellers.
    
    Spending money:
    We recommend budgeting approximately USD 600 for meals not included and personal expenses during the trip.
    
    Currency guidance by country:
    
    Thailand
    ATMs are widely available and dispense Thai Baht (THB). Credit/debit cards are not commonly accepted for small purchases, so please carry THB cash in clean, small denominations.
    
    Laos
    The local currency is Lao Kip (LAK). USD is widely accepted and easily exchanged. ATMs are available, but small purchases generally require cash in LAK. Clean, small-denomination notes are recommended.
    
    Vietnam
    ATMs are common and dispense Vietnamese Dong (VND). Credit/debit cards are not widely accepted for small payments, so VND cash is needed for daily expenses. Clean banknotes in small denominations are most useful.
    
    Cambodia
    ATMs dispense USD, which is widely accepted throughout the country. There is no need to pre-purchase Cambodian riel; most travellers only carry USD 20–30 worth of riel at any one time. Change is often given in riel. We recommend carrying a mix of denominations and ensuring USD notes are in good condition (2013 series onwards), as old or damaged notes may not be accepted.

    need to know if I will have enough time to get all visas? and flights?
    Is visa process easy and online? Or can it be done upon arrival?
  • 

    Intrepid TravelOperator•Written February 2026

    In terms of visa requirements, these depend on your nationality and the countries visited, so the process can vary. Some visas may be available online or on arrival, while others may need to be arranged in advance. I completely understand how important this is, so I recommend checking directly with the relevant embassies or official immigration websites for the most accurate and up-to-date guidance.

    is the money fully refundable in case I cant find a suitable flight after 3-4 days... as it will be so close to start of the trip?
  • 

    Intrepid TravelOperator•Written February 2026

    If the trip cannot be confirmed by our local operators, the full amount paid will be fully refunded. There would be no penalty in this case.

    What happens if you confirm in 4 days and I cant then find a suitable flight (after you have confirmed!)?
  • 

    Intrepid TravelOperator•Written February 2026

    If the trip is confirmed by our local operators and you are then unable to find a suitable flight, unfortunately we would not be able to offer a full refund at that stage. Once the trip is confirmed, normal booking conditions and cancellation policies apply, as arrangements and services will already be secured on your behalf.

    You may be able to attend the Lantern Festival in Chiang Mai but you may have to skip some of the included activities on that day. Also, you will have to make own arrangements to visit the festival, and you can inform your tour leader during the welcome meeting. As of now, we have 5 passengers booked on the 03 November departure and most of them are in their 50s and 60s. You can check out the trip reviews in our Intrepid Trip website.
