    The Most Magical Night in Southeast Asia — Designed for Solo Travelers

    Every year on the full moon of the 12th lunar month (usually November), thousands of glowing krathongs and sky lanterns light up Siem Reap’s rivers and skies during Loy Krathong — one of the world’s most beautiful festivals. Combining this magical event with a seamless journey from Vietnam makes it the ultimate bucket-list experience for solo travelers.

    • Release sky lanterns together on the banks of the Siem Reap River

    • Float traditional krathongs under Angkor Wat’s reflection at sunrise

    • Explore Angkor temples with an English-speaking guide the next day

    Best of all? You only deposit 10% today and pay the balance 30 days before departure — total peace of mind.

    Cultural Etiquette During Lantern Releases & Temple Visits

    Loy Krathong Lantern - Where heaven meets earthLoy Krathong Lantern - Where heaven meets earth (Source: Internet)
    • Dress modestly (shoulders & knees covered) when visiting temples — a lightweight scarf works perfectly.

    • Remove shoes before entering temple buildings.

    • Speak softly and avoid pointing feet at Buddha images.

    • When releasing lanterns, make a silent wish — it’s believed to carry away misfortune.

    • Do not release lanterns near trees or buildings (guides will choose safe spots).

    • Use biodegradable krathongs (provided by Legend Travel Group).

    Tour includes biodegradable lanterns & krathongs — fully eco-friendly.
