Laos The Kingdom of a million elephants Khiri Travel Passionate. Responsible. Enthralling. The golden land of Angkor and Bagan, of Bangkok and Vientiane. For centuries, Southeast Asian names alone have induced an irresistible romance amongst the susceptible: Saigon, Mandalay, Phnom Penh, Rangoon, the mighty meandering Mekong. Khiri Travel was founded in 1993 with a view of this Mekong region as ‘multiple countries, one destination’. The growing Khiri Travel Group now has offices in Thailand, Myanmar, Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos as well as a dedicated charity organization to help disadvantaged people through community development, conservation, environmental and empowerment projects. Khiri prides itself in authentic connections, adaptability, and innovation and offers intimate, personalized travel experiences within Southeast Asia’s booming tourism sector. Khiri believes in fostering a local presence with a global mindset, and tailoring each tour to not only delight the foreign traveller, but to help local people make a sustainable living-and protect and take pride in the place they call ‘home’. Khiri’s vision of “Sharing our Passion for Discovery” encompasses the company’s collective inspiration, outlook, and culture.
