Elephants and Orangutans

By: Handy, Norman

Starting in the heart of China, the route travels south from Beijing into Indo China. First stop after crossing the border is Laos, the Land of a Million Elephants, but would we see any? There are cultural tours of forgotten kingdoms. There are boat rides on the Mekong but how is the river environment responding to continual dam building?
Neighbouring Vietnam is remembered for a long bloody war but has some fascinating culture and history. Cambodia if different again with ancient civilisations building massive temples like Angkor Wat yet it too has a bloody recent past.
Thailand seems a haven of peace and tranquillity. It has large modern cities and sandy coastlines welcoming beach lovers.
There is plenty of history, culture and cuisine in Malaysia and a modern booming economy. A fascinating side trip to Indonesia discovers orangutans in their native jungle habitat before reaching Singapore.
