BAKTRAX: Budget Tours of South East Asia.
Trying to Help Perfect the Way You See the World

Innovative and incomparable travel in Thailand, Malaysia, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam and China. All aimed at arousing your senses as you discover other cultures of your world in a mellow, gentle and interesting way.

On 1st September 2008, BAKTRAX decided to become an online booking operator only. This means that our prices for single travellers have not risen in four years, and for couples our prices have been substantially reduced. The benefits and savings from booking directly as opposed to via a third party agent are passed directly to you, the customer.

Another innovative cost saver from BAKTRAX.

TWO FOR THE PRICE OF ONE:

1. A laid back holiday.
2. A real travel experience.
