Remote Lands Announces Private Jet Holidays at Amanresorts in Laos, Cambodia, Thailand

November 4, 2009, New York—Remote Lands, the Asia ultra-luxury bespoke private tour operator, announced today their private jet vacations to the Amanresorts hotels in Southeast Asia. The completely customized itineraries will focus on the culture and cuisine of Laos, Cambodia and Thailand, and will include off-the-beaten-path destinations to which few travelers venture, including Battambang in Cambodia and Champasak Province in Southern Laos.

"We are delighted to be working closely with Amanresorts, one of the world’s most prestigious hotel groups," said Catherine Heald, Co-Founder & CEO of Remote Lands. "Our clients are from the same exclusive niche of high net worth families, so we are an excellent fit for one another."

Remote Lands will design personalized, private-jet itineraries to include the following:

Luang Prabang - Stay at the sumptuous new Amantaka housed in a lovely old French colonial building that was once a hospital. Go behind the scenes in Wat Xieng Thong monastery and have a private blessing with a senior monk in his chambers. Join a festive Baci ceremonial dinner in the home of a family including copious quantities of Lao wine.

Pakse & Champasak - Explore the largely undiscovered Southern Laos, including the 5th-century Khmer temple Wat Phu, which rivals Angkor Wat - but with almost no tourists! Gasp at Asia’s largest waterfalls where dozens of dazzling cascades are all together in a small area unlike anywhere else in the world.

Siem Reap - Leave the splendor of your pool villa at Amansara to see Angkor Wat, one of the world’s great manmade wonders, then charter a helicopter to the lost temple of Banteay Ompeul, a fascinating monument hidden away in the jungle.

Battambang - Go way off the beaten track to the heartland of Cambodia to participate in our A Day in the Life cultural immersion, where you spend a day with a professional of your choosing - doctor, teacher, fisherman, monk - and live like a real Cambodian. This can be one of the most enlightening and enriching experiences of your trip.

Phuket - Check into your spectacular pool villa at the legendary Amanpuri on the finest beach on the island…and relax in hedonistic magnificence. Take the Aman I yacht to Phang Nga Bay for a day of diving behind a backdrop of stunning limestone islands, while your private chef serves an unforgettable gourmet lunch.
