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.

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.

Fire & Ball Festival, Kayak Trip Vientiane, Vang Vieng, Laos

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 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.

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.
