Itinerary Notes
Due to the land border closure between Thailand and Cambodia, this trip will now proceed to Koh Rong, Cambodia. Air travel from Koh Rong to Bangkok will replace the original plan of visiting Koh Chang, thus avoiding the necessity of a land border transit into Thailand. As this is an ongoing situation, if your itinerary is being altered, you will receive a notification around 30 days before departure.
Your OMG Stay

Puluong Retreat is located in Pu Luong, just west of Hanoi, situated among the terraced rice paddies. Valleys of deep green spread out for miles. The bungalows offer sweeping views over the terraces and large spacious rooms made with local materials.
Why we love this stay
- Puluong Retreat is set in one of the most picturesque parts of Vietnam.
- It offers travelers plenty of ways to stay active and keep moving, while also offering plenty of ways to disconnect and relax.
- We think Pu Luong is the perfect place to trek along rice terraces with a local guide and experience local Vietnamese life.
