Bangkok, Thailand, March 19, 2025: Avani Hotels & Resorts invites modern explorers on the ultimate cultural escape, seamlessly connecting two of Southeast Asia’s most iconic UNESCO World Heritage sites including Angkor Wat in Cambodia and Luang Prabang in Laos. This newly launched adventure package features immersive local experiences, stylish stays and effortless travel between these historic destinations. With 2025 marking the 30th anniversary of Luang Prabang’s UNESCO World Heritage designation, there’s never been a better time to rediscover its rich cultural heritage, perfectly paired with the awe-inspiring wonders of Angkor.

FCC Angkor by Avani: A Gateway to Angkor’s Wonders

Set in the heart of Siem Reap’s historic French Quarter, FCC Angkor by Avani has long been the gathering place for foreign correspondents and archaeologists drawn to Angkor’s epic past. Just minutes from the legendary temple complex, this heritage-inspired retreat blends colonial charm with contemporary comfort. Guests will enjoy two nights in an elegantly appointed room with a complimentary upgrade, daily breakfast and an explorer’s kit to enhance their journey. 

Mornings begin with a guided meditation led by a local monk, setting the tone for a day of discovery. Traveling by vintage Jeep or Vespa, guests will uncover the secrets of Angkor Thom, the enigmatic Bayon Temple, and Ta Prohm, famously entwined with ancient tree roots, as seen in Lara Croft: Tomb Raider. A private Cambodian lunch overlooking the royal Srah Srang reservoir offers a rare and exclusive dining experience within the temple grounds. Back at the hotel, afternoons unfold with a herbal tea tasting hosted by local entrepreneur Unn Pari Sophary, founder of the Herbal Kulen brand.

Avani+ Luang Prabang: Celebrating 30 Years as a UNESCO World Heritage Site 

Avani+ Luang Prabang places travelers at the heart of this charming town, surrounded by golden-spired temples, lively cafés, and the serene banks of the Mekong River. With 2025 marking 30 years since Luang Prabang earned its UNESCO World Heritage status, the town’s unique blend of French colonial architecture, centuries-old Buddhist traditions and vibrant street life is more captivating than ever. Guests will stay for two nights at Avani+ Luang Prabang, complete with a complimentary upgrade and daily breakfast. 

The pace slows down in Luang Prabang, inviting travelers to immerse themselves in the town’s tranquil rhythms. Mornings begin with the serene ritual of alms giving, where saffron-robed monks walk the streets collecting offerings at dawn. In the afternoon, relaxation takes center stage with a complimentary 60-minute Lao massage at the hotel’s Anantara Spa, easing away the day’s adventures. As the sun dips below the horizon, a sunset cruise along the Mekong River offers the perfect finale.

Seamless Travel & Exclusive Inclusions 

As a keepsake of their journey, guests will take home a handwoven Lao scarf, a local painting and an Avani-branded bag. With direct flights connecting Siem Reap and Luang Prabang, and all airport transfers included, the journey is as effortless as it is enriching.
