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.
7 days comfort zone
Book now pay later allows you to hold the booking for 7 days without any charges.
On the 8th day after confirmation you will receive an email requesting a deposit of 10%, which function as a partial payment of the total and will be deducted from the total and final payment.
Final and full payment is required 30 days prior to arrival.

We require full name as per passport along with gender. Full name is required of all international hotels, airlines, transport services and more for official registers, specific identification purposes and safety regulations. The international distinction of an adult or child traveler is set at age 12. For special arrangements as extensive or multi-country trips we might take a little longer time before final confirmation, though as we always respond within 10 hours a new deadline for confirmation will be announced. The 3 days comfort zone will of cause apply once full confirmation is received.
Age is further required for children.
