Travel experts beyond creativity

Who We Are

With roots from Switzerland, France, Germany, Holland, Indonesia, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam and Thailand, Lolei Travel’s team of travel experts is multi-cultural. We understand a great deal of our guest’s needs and know how to realize your dream holiday. Our travel experts know the destinations very well and have lived and traveled extensively through Indochina.

Our travel experts believe in the simplicity of life and appreciate the details that seem insignificant to many. We don’t just want you to see the beauty, but experience it. Through carefully created signature products and endless research, we are able to show you a different Indochina, and make you come one with nature and culture. 

Imagine enjoying a conversation with a monk about Buddhism and being blessed for your travels, or having a home-cooked meal on the grounds of an ancient temple. It may all seem like fiction and imagination, an ideal image of your holiday. But alongside the grand attractions with their thousands of visitors, these kind of activities  bring harmony and appreciation to your experience. 

These small gestures and detail to cultural interaction open up more than just the eye. A world of understanding evolves, which makes your trip more meaningful and memorable.

Our travel experts have seen and done it all. This is how we live our lives and it gives us great pride to share these experiences with you in places we proudly call our homes.
