South East Asia Vacation Review: Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, Luang Prabang, Siem Reap, Elephant Ride, Culture & Cuisine

Siem Reap (Cambodia) and Luang Prabang (Laos) had the best accommodations -- the hotels were comfortable and had great locations to the night markets and other sights.  There was also plenty of time in the schedule for me to add things to it such as an impromptu elephant ride in Laos.  

The accommodations in Thailand did not live up to the high expectations set by the previous two countries but the itinerary made up for that.  Lots of exploring the culture from a local perspective through food and walking tours, which were terrific.
