What's this trip about?

    Welcome to the wild wild west of Southeast Asia. After establishing our presence in Thailand, we looked east to Thailand’s wilder, untamed neighbor Cambodia. As the 2nd country we ever operated in, Cambodia has a special place in our hearts - visiting this one of a kind country is like jumping in a time machine and visiting Thailand in the 70s before it became the tourist mecca it is today. Once the victim of a cruel regime, this nation is now home to some of southeast Asia’s most welcoming locals, spectacular temples, and wild nights out ( .50p beers and a tarantula to chase with, anyone?). If you are here for the REAL, uncut southeast Asia, look no further. Come see Angkor Wat for sunrise, get your island fix on the white sand beaches of Koh Rong Samloen and learn about the troubled past with visits to the genocide museum and the killing fields in Phnom Penh. Explore the Tru Cambodia including a visit to the southern fishing town of Kampot for some river cruising, water sport activities, cooking classes and old fashioned tanning. It doesn't get better than this.

Travel Map

Day 1 Siem Reap - Your Adventure Begins!

Today’s the first day of your epic adventure and your Tru welcome day! Give us a ‘Hell yeah!’ We kick things off in the gateway to Siem Reap, famous for Angkor Wat, rice wine (Sraa) that could power a ballistic missile, and a dining and bar scene that’s 78.6 times bet...

Day 2 Cambodia Rural Experience, & Floating Village, Sunset BBQ - TRU EXCLUSIVE

Today we set off for a Tru Exclusive. That’s right. An exclusive. You ain’t getting this shiz anywhere else, kids. Hop in a tuk tuk and drive through the bustling streets of Siem Riep to today’s cultural experience. Step into the shoes of a local Mango/Rice farmer (no...

Day 3 Sunrise At Angkor Wat

Rise and shine people. You won’t forget today in a hurry. It’s your final day in Siem Reap, and you’re off to visit the world’s biggest religious monument. Say (Angkor) waaaat? Yup, you heard us right. We’re off to Angkor Wat, a vast 500 acre site built in the image o...

Day 4 Siem Reap to Phnom Penh

Wave goodbye to Siem Reap and head towards Cambodia’s capital city, Phnom Penh. After last night’s antics, you’ll probably need some sleep, so lie back, close your lids and dribble on yourself whilst we all take photos of you. Kidding. We’re not that mean. Then, stop ...

Day 5 Tuk Tuk tourS21 and Killing Fields

If there’s one place every person should visit at some point in their life, it’s the Killing Fields, the location of a haunting Cambodian genocide that took the lives of millions, and the S21 Prison, where the Khmer Rouge held 17,000, very few of which survived. Its d...

Day 6 Travel to Kampot

It’s day 6 and do you know what that means? No? Of course you don’t. Otherwise you’d be running the trip and we’d be reading this itinerary. Well, we’re off to the riverside town of Kampot, surrounded by stunning mountain views and picturesque scenery, where we’ll sto...

Day 7 Pepper Plantations & Cooking Class

Today we’re off to a local pepper plantation where we’ll learn everything you need to know about farming the famous Kampot peppers. Will it be fun? You pepper believe it will be! Tell you what, you’ll soon realise you know absolutely nothing about peppers. After that ...

Day 8 Travel to Koh Rong Samloem

Imagine this. You’re on a boat, the sun glistening off crystal waters, the cool breeze dancing through your hair. You look up. Your breath catches in your throat as you’re greeted by immaculate, white sands, quaint beach huts and boats bobbing lazily in the bay. You s...

Day 9 Koh Rong Samloem

Aaaaaahhhhhhh. Today’s all about getting your chill on. Have a lie in, stroll along the warm sands, seek out a tasty local breakfast from a local vendor. No matter what you fancy doing, this time’s all yours. Island hop along the emerald waters Cambodia style in a tra...

Day 10 Koh Rong/Phnom Penh

Today we bid farwell to paradise and the beauty that is Koh Rong Samleom! It's been an incredible few days of crystal clear waters and golden sandy beaches but it's time to head back to the city for one last BIG night out! We travel by boat and bus and check into our ...

Day 11 Phnom Penh

Ah. The final day. *Sniffle* No, you’re crying. Well, as they say, all good things must come to an end and, after an epic 11 days, it’s time to say your goodbyes to your TruFamily and check out of the hotel. If your adventure’s continuing, our Travel Ninjas will be on hand to help with any onward travels plans you have. Fam, bring it in. It’s been unreal.

IT’S A TRU-STORY!

From the humble beginnings, to where we are now, it‘s been an epic journey. We aim to keep our Vision and Manifesto at the heart of our business – simply put, we are passionate about what we do!

BACK IN 2012…

In the beginning…

TruTravels was founded in 2012 by Joe Fallon and Mark Pope after they decided that life was not about being stuck in the rat race and working boring jobs, just to pay for getting to & from work! They had “lived the dream” before, travelling and working in Asia, Australia, New Zealand, Fiji and Europe for several years and felt that there had to be more to life then getting the tube into a gloomy office every day.

After a meeting in a pub in London they decided to change their realities and start doing what they wanted to do instead of what society said they should do. The plan was to create a lifestyle centred around showing people the time of their lives in paradise. Providing life changing experiences for backpackers by backpackers. TruTravels tours were designed to take all of the hassle out of travelling to new places but at the same time give spontanious group travel experiences and prepare TruTravellers for their own solo journeys into the unknown.

The Tru-Crew today IN 2015…

Where we are now…

Three years later TruTravels has shown hundreds of young adults the time of their lives in Thailand and has grown from running one awesome tour in Thailand to running six in three countries (with more on the way).

We have also opened an office and travel shop on our island home of Koh Phangan and started our own blog and youtube channel (subscribe here).

Our beloved TruTravellers are helping us to turn our own dreams into a reality (check out our reviews online if you want to see some of the feedback for yourself)!

OUR VISION AND MANIFESTO

“To give you, our customer, the experience of a lifetime whilst educating you about your destination, advising you on the safest ways to travel and enabling you to make the most of your time away.

We do this by offering support before, during and after the tour to make you feel as comfortable as possible when travelling in an unfamiliar country and giving a unique travel experience which feels like travelling with friends rather than on a conventional tour.

All of the team are a family who love travel and to share our experiences with others, we enjoy what we do and this rubs off on the groups who also become part of the family and hopefully share with us some of the best times of their lives.”
