Songkran Water Festival, Pattaya Beach, Thailand

Songkran Water Festival, Pattaya Beach, Thailand - This Thai tradition started
hundreds of years ago, when, on the hottest day of the year, towns would set
up arrival points at the town entrance, where locals would wait with flowers
and cooling water, and would sprinkle water on incoming travelers to offer
welcome. This tradition has changed a bit. Welcome to the annual, nation wide
water fight. Adults, children, Thais and tourists all participate in trying
to get each other as wet as they can. Put on shorts and a t-shirt, put your
cell phone in a zip lock bag, and prepare to take part in a massive water
throwing event. Everything from water guns, to buckets of water, to pickups
driving around with 55 gallon drums of ice water, waiting to be thrown on
anyone getting within range. This is a once in a lifetime experience definitely
not to be missed. Other activities during Song Kran week will include a trip
to the local island for swimming, sunbathing and great seafood. Also tours
to local Chinese and Buddhist temples, trying your hand at go kart racing,
feeding crocodiles and playing with tigers will fill your days, while the
possibilities of filling your nights include great international food and
endless dancing and partying options. If you only make one trip to Pattaya
Beach, this is the one.
This trip originates in Pattaya Beach, Thailand.

Rocket Festival, Vang Vieng Kayak Trip, Vientiane & Vang Vieng, Laos -
Once a year, Vientiane is host to the annual rocket festival. Locals build
rockets over 20feet long and have competitions for design and distance. The
launch site comes complete with prepared mud pits. If your teams’ rocket
doesn’t fire, prepare to be wrestled into the mud. Since the rocket
festival is only one day, we also include a day of local site seeing in Vientiane,
as well as a three day excursion to Vang Vieng, famous site for white water
kayaking, caving, mountain bike treks and rock climbing. The geography is
pristine and breathtaking, and the activities are the thrill of a lifetime.
This is a trip people go on over and over.
This trip originates in Bangkok and includes pickup and overnight train trips
to and from Nong Khai.

Nha Trang Beach & Boat Trip, Nha Trang, Vietnam - If you are an aquatics
type, this is another trip for you. We travel to famous Nha Trang, Vietnam,
for six days of beach and island adventure. We start with a couple of days
of exploring the town laying on the beach and stuffing ourselves with crab
and lobster. Then we take a boat trip out to surrounding islands for a chance
to snorkel, swim, and participate in what the locals call “the worlds
largest swim up bar” everyone gets in the water in their own inner tube,
then staff get in a giant inner tube complete with wine, fruit and glasses
and the group proceeds to swim, socialize, drink and party till the wines
all gone. Not done yet, the party moves to the boat where a local band plays
and everyone dances til they drop. A great time. The last couples of days
are for more beach time, or specially arranged dive trips for those so inclined.
A really fun beach, party, boat and possible dive experience on a beautiful
beach.
This trip originates in Ho Chi Minh City and included train transportation
to and from Nha Trang.

Fire & Ball Festival, Vang Vieng Kayak Trip, Vientiane & Vang Vieng,
Laos - For centuries, Lao and Thai people have reported a strange natural
phenomenon that takes place at a certain time each year. Near the night of
the full moon, legend has it that the Naga (a sea serpent creature) comes
near the surface in the Mekong river near Nong Khai and breathes balls of
fire into the sky. Strange as the rumor seems, every year, thousands of people
flock to the river banks lining the area a wait for the event, and…….
It happens. From whatever source, flaming balls of fire do erupt from the
surface of the river and fly into the sky. The exact cause of the event has
been explained from everything from balls of methane “swamp gas”
to the great Naga itself, but whatever explanation you choose, the event has
turned into a major party each year. Along with the Naga watch, this trip
includes a trip to Laos for sightseeing in the Vientiane area, a trip to Ngam
Ngum dam for a huge fish eating fest and boat trip on the lake, and a one
day whitewater Kayak trip down the Nam Lik river.
This trip originates in Bangkok and includes overnight train trips to and
from Nong Khai.

Loi Krathong Festival, Koh Lan, Pattaya, Thailand - Loi Krathong is a once
a year festival where people prepare small (ranging to large) boats that they
adorn with flowers, incense and candles. The boats are floated on any nearby
body of water with the notion that one is sending off the problems of the
past. For Loi Krathong, locals often don formal traditional dress accompanied
by fascinating ceremonies. The rest of the week includes a beach trip to the
local island, Koh Larn, for swimming, sunbathing and seafood, a trip to the
crocodile farm where you can hold and feed a baby tiger, get hoisted in the
air by an elephant, and get up close and cuddly with an Asian bear. Other
activities available during the week include scuba diving, go karts, water
parks, and lots of time on the beach, not to mention a chance to see Pattaya
Beach and its more than famed nightlife. You can see everything from discos
to Las Vegas style Transvestite stage shows to go go bars to a quiet English
Pub. A time you will remember forever.
This trip originates in Pattaya Beach, Thailand.

ANGKOR WAT & SIEM RIEP
- CAMBODIA
After the first week of class, we take three days off to go
explore the wonders of Angkor Wat. In order to better understand
Cambodia, it helps to understand some of its history.
One could easily spend a week exploring the many temples and
ruins that were once the glory of Angkor. You'll find yourself
in the same site as Angelina Jolie in "Tomb Raider",
wandering through ruins of temples in a jungle setting. There
are also waterfalls to play in and an interesting night market.
The nearbytown of Siem Reap provides lots of good accommodation
and many great places to eat.

NHA TRANG - VIETNAM
Nha Trang Beach is one of the more popular beach getaways
in Vietnam. In addition to great seafood a very clean seaside,
there are a number of nearby islands that are easily reached
for a day trip of snorkeling, swimming or scuba diving. You
will be staying in a nice hotel less than two blocks from
the main beach. In addition to beach time, we will be arranging
a boat trip for all day on Sunday, that will be a real treat.
Nice coral and beautifully colored tropical fish make this
a great destination. Not into all that exercise, no problem.
Good food, an occasional beverage and a good book make for
great relaxation. All those tropical beach fantasies you have
always dreamed about are a part of every day here.
