Travel the world… without alcohol
On Recovery Elevator sober travel trips, since we aren’t wasting time nursing hangovers in the morning, we fully take advantage of the day and experience what Thailand and Cambodia have to offer. Not only is traveling without alcohol possible, it’s way more fun. We mistakenly think alcohol is enhancing travel, but it’s what prevents us back from genuinely connecting with other cultures and fellow travelers.
On this trip of a lifetime, we will be cruising down the Bangkok canals on a bicycle, visiting Elephant World in Kanchanaburi, visiting the Khao Yai national park in Thailand, getting a first-hand look at the Cambodian culture with an overnight homestay and all the highlights or the archeological wonder Angkor Wat.

There are several passport agencies where you can send your passport for a Cambodian Visa. We recommend going through the Cambodian Embassy in Washington DC which costs $30 and takes about 2 – 3 weeks to process. You’ll need a 2′ x 2′ passport photo for the application and you can get these pictures taken at Costco. You can also expedite the visa by using one of the companies listed below for arounf $150-$200.
This needs to be completed by December 15th, 2019. If you’d like to attend the trip and it’s past this date, there are many ways to get a Visa expedited, so still go ahead and register!
