J'ai reçu la proposition de voyage suivante pour une visite du
Laos/
Cambodge où je compte aller en août prochain avec 2 ados (15 et 17). Il y a-t-il quelqu'un qui connaît bien ces pays qui pourrait me donner son avis sur celle-ci? Passerons-nous à côté de lieux de visite à ne pas rater ou le programme est-il relativement complet? Pouvez-vous également me donner un tuyau au niveau des vols (offre reçue = 1100 EUR pour A/R
Bruxelles/
Laos/
Cambodge via
Bangkok: est-il possible de trouver moins cher en août?). Merci à vous. Bernard
