Booking Service

book now - pay later

Indochina Explorers offer holiday planning, stress – free.

Many times travel agencies stress their customers with instant payment terms already upon making the booking.
Which means that changes made once the booking and payment is submitted can accrue hefty fees for the traveler, – and as we all know schedules or intentions do not always go exactly as planned!

To avoid unnecessary extra charges for our customers already in the planning phase, we hope that our intent of ‘Book now- Pay later’ option can help you to comfortably plan the holiday with a secure booking in hand to make all other necessary arrangements stress-free and more importantly: Fee-Free.

Though should something unexpected come in the way of travel plans after the booking in confirmed, well no harm done!
We are always on location to help in any way possible.
