The heart of Samlor Kari (Source: Internet)Few dishes capture the soul of Southeast Asia like green curry. From the fragrant Vietnamese “Cà ri gà” simmered with lemongrass and coconut milk to the fiery Thai Gaeng Keow Wan loaded with Thai basil and baby eggplant, this emerald-hued masterpiece tells a story of migration, trade, and royal kitchens. Legend Travel Group invites you to experience the authentic Vietnam Tours, Cambodia Tours, Laos Tours, and Thailand Tours that turn every bowl of green curry into a cultural revelation — all with peace of mind thanks to our flexible 10% deposit policy, payable only until 30 days before departure.
Vietnamese green curry is gentle yet fragrant, using fresh turmeric, lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, and coconut milk from the Mekong Delta.
Northern style: lighter, herb-forward, often served with crusty bánh mì
Southern style: richer, sweeter, paired with rice vermicelli
Legend Travel Group’s Vietnam Tours take you to hidden alleys in Hanoi and floating markets in Can Tho where grandmas still stir cauldrons the old way.
Cambodian green curry (Samlor Kari) is a celebratory dish served at weddings and Pchum Ben. It blends kroeung paste (lemongrass, galangal, turmeric, kaffir lime) with coconut milk and is gently spiced so everyone from kids to elders can enjoy it.
Our Cambodia Tours include private cooking classes in Battambang villages where you harvest morning glory and pound fresh paste in a mortar.
Laotian green curry leans herbaceous and slightly bitter, thanks to wild pepper leaves (sakhan) and dill. It’s less sweet than its Thai cousin and often includes buffalo meat or river fish.
On our Laos Tours, you’ll sit on bamboo mats in Luang Prabang and learn to balance the five tastes the Lao way — under the guidance of a former temple chef.
The world-famous Thai green curry is intense, creamy, and perfectly balanced between heat and sweetness. Made with fresh green chilies, Thai eggplant, and holy basil, it’s the dish that put Thai cuisine on the global map.
Legend Travel Group’s Thailand Tours bring you to Michelin Bib Gourmand street stalls in Bangkok and floating kitchens on the Chao Phraya where the curry is finished over charcoal.
