On-the-Edge Adventures Catapults Clients into Edgy, Unpredictable, James Bond-Style, Extreme Adventures in Asia

Rob Davies, Managing Director of On-the- Edge Adventures Co., Ltd., has turned his penchant for plotting and logistics and his in-depth knowledge of Southeast Asia into one of the most hair- raising travel concept in years -- reality-based extreme adventures.

"Each tour is crafted and planned only after our clients fill out a detailed background sheet and personality profile," said Canadian entrepreneur Mr. Davies. "For clients who give us the green light, we then push their physical, mental and cultural limits to the edge in an adrenaline-pumping and off-the-rails 9 1/2-day adventure experience. We enable our clients to confront and re-examine the comfort of their cultural and personal values in the exotic backdrop of Southeast Asia. The resulting adventure is designed to be edgy, intimate and exciting."

Reminiscent of the 1997 film, "The Game," On-the-Edge Adventures employs over a dozen specialists -- including experts in travel, military operations, props-and-sets, stunts, a storyboard consultant and even a mobile noodle cart hawker, all in an effort to engage clients in an intense and "on-the-edge" adventure. The team of characters confronts, guides, explores, abandons, encourages, challenges and/or assists a client during their adventure -- wherever it may lead. Clients may find it difficult to know who is real and who is a plant.

The adventure takes place in Cambodia's northern mountainous border region, its capital of Phnom Penh, the Golden Triangle, Bangkok, and/or rural Laos and Hong Kong. Modes of travel include bamboo river rafts, limousines, 4x4 jeeps, rickshaws, helicopters and elephants. High levels of athleticism or a military background are not a pre-requisite for the adventure, although clients do need to be in good physical condition.

These ultra-exclusive adventures are intended for the high-end traveler with an appetite for extreme excitement. The nine-day package costs USD $13,450 (7,500 GBP) for one person, USD $18,450 (10,300 GBP) for two people or USD $21,950 (12,250 GBP) for three. Three people per adventure is the company's maximum. The fees cover all adventure-related expenses and are exclusive only of return airfare, which is paid for by the client.

According to Davies, the price reflects of the cost of "having a Plan B," which involves keeping his team on 24/7 standby and ready to respond within minutes to the client's choices made in the field, as well as the cost of gaining permission to use unique locations and techniques that create the adventures' highly imaginative twists and turns.

Whether an adventure client is searching for a remote forest temple in Thailand disguised as a Buddhist monk, racing to Pol Pot's tombstone in Cambodia, or traveling by elephant only to be propelled into a night of bizarre clubbing in discos and border town casinos, the On-the-Edge team is more than likely in the background pulling the strings.
