Songkran in L.P.

Bangkok virtually closes down during Songkran (April) as the legendary traffic is replaced by drunken hooligans in trucks spraying everyone and everything in sight with water. This year we offer a kinder, gentler Songkran in Luang Prabang as part of a small group. There is a nice mix of group activities and free time to explore. Best of all, the price is unbelievably low!

Photo Contest #4

Think you take great photos? You could win a prize! We recently announced our fourth almost-annual photo contest You can read more here. We will begin to show all entries in the contest in March.

The Blog

Douglas, our boss, has plenty to say in his cult-status blog.  He is witty, opinionated, and irreverent. You might pick up a few beauty secrets or a hot tip about where to eat. You are allowed to argue with Douglas and subscribe to the blog so you can receive an email notice every time he publishes a new one.

January Newsletter

Bulletin from Bangkok, ClubSanook's newsletter, is always full of interesting news, travel advice and other tidbits. Our current edition includes stories about gay travel and social networking websites, a new face at Purple Dragon, low season specials (already!), "Sound Off on China" (see below), trivia, new hotels, and more. If you have not seen the January issue look here.

Sound Off!

China is always in the news and people seem to have strong feelings one way or another about things happening there. China is the subject our current poll. It takes less than a minute to participate. Just go here.

Places to Go

Unless you have visited our website lately, you may not know that we have added Singapore and Bhutan to our portfolio of destinations. Both of these small countries have plenty to offer. Our "Singapore Swings" program is the perfect stopover if the island nation is your gateway to Indochina. We are especially excited about the Kingdom of Bhutan, which is free of tourist mobs and offers a fascinating culture and some of the planet's most awesome scenery.

"Green Season" Specials

If you are Member of Club Sanook, our private travel club, we have a great crop of low season specials this year. You can save on hotels in Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Koh Samui, Hanoi, Luang Prabang, and Siem Reap. We add new Member-only specials every week. April through September is one of the best times to visit here because the crowds are smaller and the prices lower. To see current specials go here.

On the Drawing Board

We always have something new and shiny in various stages of development. We are in the process of completely revising our Kep (Cambodia) package so that it will offer more hotel options. We are also looking to add couple of new cities in China as well as Nepal and Sri Lanka. Some of our customers have been with us as many as thirteen times, so we constantly have to add new destinations so they will not run out of places to visit.
