A SPECIAL SHOUT OUT HAS TO GO to the travel agents and specialists who pour their time and expertise into sniffing out special gems across the region to give us all of those memorable vacation moments. After all, where would we be without them? Scott Dunn emerged triumphant in this category, captivating readers for its dedication to detail, scouring the globe to hand-pick the most luxurious, unique and adventurous journeys, from major cities to remote villages, and vast rainforests to tiny tropical islands.
Smiling Albino ranked second for its ability to tailor-make luxury trips that cater to your every desire across Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Nepal, Vietnam and Myanmar. (Want to ride a morlam bus across Isaan? Even if you have no idea of what that mean, we assure you the answer is yes.) An obvious trend in demand for carefully curated trips continues to run throughout the rest of the winners, with tailor-made travel stalwart, Trails of Indochina, ranking third; ultra-luxe players, Remote Lands, headquartered in both Bangkok and New York, coming in fourth place; and pioneers of the sustainable travel movement, Khiri Travel, being named fifth Best Travel Agent for 2023.
