History:

Derived from our intense craving for journeys to savor diverse arts of life, Prestigo Asia has been cultivated and then gradually grown up. For more than a decade of ongoing development, we have obtained a prominent position among the most trustworthy and professional DMCs in Southeast Asia.
Our motto is “One’s destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things.” Indeed, every single land reflects its own distinct timeless masterpieces, a blend of essential elements such as humans, geography, and history. Living in another indigenous culture would open up a new horizon.
Hence, we believe that our tremendous effort will bring our around-the-world travel soulmates great values of cultures, exceptional natural scenery, fabulous construction, and authentic experiences on vacation days ever.
Not any stereotyped path of monotonously connecting spots do we follow, we aim to tell a gripping story by linking intended destinations. Let us quench your thirst for discovery or satisfy any travel style through each step of building up offbeat or tailor-made itineraries.

Our Affiliations

Originating with popular destinations in Vietnam, the Land of the Blue Dragon, Prestigo Asia seized great opportunities to welcome our first friends to majestic Ha Long, cultural Hanoi, the romantic lantern city of Hoi An, poetic and gentle Hue, or dynamic Sai Gon. Our boundary has been witnessed a vast expanse to more distant, lesser-known destinations that were still undefined on any travel map.
In fact, members of the Indochina region share mutual features in terms of culture, history, and geographies like Rice Farming in the Lower Mekong Basin or Buddhism as the predominant religion. After mastering the journeys in the founding country, Prestigo Asia commenced connections to the neighboring Indochina countries to satisfy this desire for further discovery and time-utilization for tourists. Starting with glamorous Phnom Penh, grandeur Siem Reap, ancient Luang Prabang, and charming Vientiane, now we cover the off-the-beaten-track like laid-back Kampong Cham, rustic Battambang, and peaceful Vang Vieng.
With the principle of continually striving to offer one-of-a-kind experiences, in recent years, we have managed to specialize the largest archipelago in the world named Indonesia. From Bali, the Island of the Gods, we proudly introduce many travelers the exotic unspoiled paradises like magnificent Kalimantan, calm Lombok island, or exclusive flavors from Maluku and Papua. Prestigo Asia does commit to constantly enhancing full-tour services and expanding stopovers within the existing range, but also reaching out to the further wonderful lands in Asia.

How we work

To earn our customer’s absolute trust over many years, Prestigo Asia prides itself on a solid foundation laid down from the very beginning. From initial basic schedules to current complicated and offbeat itineraries, we fully guarantee impeccable quality on every footstep and take the unexpected hassle out of customers’ wonderful trips.
Stemming from a true passion for travel, we connect local experts who have industry-specific knowledge backgrounds as well as a deep understanding of destinations. Each member of our team cherishes the mutual inspiration of the unforgettable travel experiences for customers as our friends.
With the base of a quality DMC in each country, Prestigo Asia attemps reliable and qualified local partners at all times. Besides, each location or service is meticulously inspected on our own prior to introduction and even during use. With our B2B partners, we work hand in hand to remove barriers to a comprehensive understanding of various needs and styles. Our designee for each target market, beyond a doubt, would be a guarantee for effective bilateral cooperation.

Additional Information

An extraordinary Thailand tour is waiting for your footprints. From Bangkok, move about 80km north, and visit the former capital that experienced many ups and downs, Ayutthaya. Different from other majestic temples, the temples there remain intact and carry special structures such as Wat Mahathat famous for Buddha Head in tree root, or Wat Lokaya Sutha famous for Reclining Buddha into Lotus. Then, discover the unpopular place named Phitsanuloke. Embrace the rich history hidden behind the largest Buddha statues in Wat Sra Sri and Wat Sri Chum. Move further to the north, your Thailand vacation package will be continued with exotic hill tribes and scenic hillsides and jungles in Chiang Rai and Chiang Mai.

Last, loosen up in the nicest Thailand beach resorts on the largest truly paradise island, Phuket. A combination of masterpieces of nature and famous delicious seafood is a perfect ending for 10 days in Phitsanuloke, Chiang Mai, and Phuket.
