All breakfasts, five lunches and six dinners are included. The food on this trip is a real highlight for many. Southeast Asian cuisine is known for its abundance of freshly prepared dishes with strong aromatic flavours. There is a focus on herbs and citrus to ensure each dish packs a punch; chilli does feature highly too but is easily avoided. Typically, most dishes come with rice and many are often served in a banana leaf with a variety of dips and herbs served separately. The three countries visited ensure a different culinary experience every time you cross the border: ensure you try freshly made pad Thai noodles from the street stalls of Bangkok; the fish amok curry in Cambodia for a creamy coconut-based fragrant curry; and banh xeo (huge sizzling pancakes) in Vietnam. Western food is available almost everywhere except in the Mekong Delta region. Vegetarians are well catered for but please inform us before departure of any special dietary requests. Please note, the availability of certain specialised products for restricted diets (eg gluten-free or dairy-free) is minimal or non-existent and we strongly recommend you bring these specialised dietary items from home. You may find it beneficial to bring energy bars or gels with you from home to use during a ride. However, on Premium Adventure cycling departures, an included snack kitty is provided usually consisting of fresh fruit, nuts, biscuits and local snacks along with drinks and electrolyte powders.

In Thailand and Cambodia, the weather is hot and humid year-round. The dry season runs from November to April with the monsoon between May and October. April and October are transition months. The dry season is characterised by hot days and generally clear skies, though you can expect the odd shower. The monsoon is characterised by short bursts of rain and can be a very atmospheric time to travel but an umbrella may be useful.

In Vietnam, the weather patterns are very similar to Cambodia – expect year-round temperatures from 25C to 39C (77F to 102F). The rainy season will normally run from June to September when you should expect short showers, but the sun will normally break through for extended periods.

From the end of March to May, the temperatures become very hot and humid with temperatures into the high 30Cs (around 100F) between Bangkok and Siem Reap as this is the build up to the monsoon season.

This Premium Adventure is rated Activity Level 3 (Moderate) and classified Road. For more information on our trip gradings please visit our Activity Level Guidelines page. If you have any queries about the difficulty of the trip please do not hesitate to contact us.

Nine days of cycling

Average daily distance 33mi (54km) per day with 95 percent vehicle support

Terrain and route: The roads are generally well-paved in Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam, with some easy dirt roads in Thailand and Vietnam. Conditions will be hot and humid and there are some long days, but there are very few hills. Traffic levels in Southeast Asia are higher near the larger towns, so you should be comfortable riding occasionally in traffic. Though many of the roads are in good condition you should expect potholes and occasional poor road conditions.

Travel Safety Advice:

The Thailand–Cambodia border has seen some recent tensions and is temporarily closed. Exodus groups are not currently travelling to this area and we have proactively adjusted itineraries that were scheduled to cross the Thai-Cambodia border up until 30th September 2025.

Your safety and peace of mind remain our top priority. We are closely monitoring developments and staying up to date with the latest guidance from the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office.

While the situation remains fluid, we have contingency plans in place. Should any further changes be necessary beyond September, we’ll be in touch directly with affected customers well ahead of their departure.
