Duty-free shopping in Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, and Thailand has evolved into one of the region’s most irresistible attractions for discerning travellers. Whether you’re hunting for Swiss watches in Bangkok’s King Power, French perfumes in Hanoi’s Noi Bai Airport, or authentic silk and silver in Luang Prabang’s night market, the combination of world-class brands, competitive pricing, and tax-free savings makes every purchase feel like a celebration.

Legend Travel Group has curated private Vietnam Tours, Cambodia Tours, Laos Travel, and Thailand Tours that seamlessly weave luxury shopping into your cultural journey – because the perfect trip deserves the perfect souvenir.
