Mekong Travel - specialists

Why pick a specialist?

As a recognised specialist for South East Asia, we are able to provide expert knowledge and are often approached by companies and individuals to assist them on various projects. These projects have included work with film production companies, journalists, authors, cruise liners, trade missions and visiting dignitaries.

Recently we have worked with London Weekend Television on the Cilla Black's 'Surprise, Surprise' show. After thirty years of separation from his family, a small boy blinded by a grenade during the Vietnam War was helped by a priest and eventually found his way to Britain where he was adopted.
He has since married and lives happily in Birmingham. His wife, learning of his story, contacted the Surprise Surprise' team to see if his family could be contacted and reunited with their son.

Mekong Travel was called and were able to trace the family to an isolated highland village in the central part of Vietnam. Permissions from the Vietnamese and British governments were obtained, and the mother, bother and sister where all flown to Britain for the televised show. The emotional reunion that followed made all the hard work very worth while and at least reuniting one broken family, whose personal loss in a devastating war had partially been repaired.

Having such knowledge and experience in the region has also enabled us to gain permission and provide assistance to turn companies and journalists working on projects as diverse as travel and cooking to ethnic tribes.

We also provide ground assistance to large cruise ships whose passengers, on arriving, wish to explore the surrounding area. In addition we organise the onboard entertainment for the evening.

Other travel companies who organise specialist group tours also come to us to work with them on the more detailed arrangements which accompany complex tours.

Being in such a unique position we know that we are in an ideal position to help arrange your travel requirements.
