*The actual savings of using orientingTRAVELLERS will be greater than the abovementioned figure as the travel agent did not include the cost of land travel for Ubon Ratchathani to Savannakhet, Savannakhet to Pakse and Kampot to Phnom Penh. The travel agent also did not include accommodation for Savannakhet (3 nights), Muang Khong (3 nights), Battambang (2 nights) and Kampot (1 night). The standards of accommodation are similar in all locations with one location being the same.
