Places you'll stay
Siem Reap
The ancient stone silhouettes of Angkor rise just a short drive from Siem Reap, making the city the primary gateway for visitors eager to explore the Khmer Empire’s temple complex. Siem Reap sits in northwestern Cambodia as the capital of its namesake province and serves as the country’s second‑largest urban centre. Its reputation as a tourism hub grew after the city was named the ASEAN City of Culture for 2021–2022 at a regional ministers’ meeting in October 2020.
Ho Chi Minh City
There’s no better place to get a feel for urban Vietnam than the energetic streets of Ho Chi Minh City. This is Vietnam's largest city and one of the country's most free-spirited destinations. Still referred to as ‘Saigon’ by locals, it is known for hordes of motorbikes, mouthwatering food, and hip coffee shops.
Moments to look forward to
Cu Chi Tunnels
Drive a little ways outside of Ho Chi Minh City to discover what remains of the Cu Chi Tunnels. These tunnels were crucial to the North Vietnamese resistance.
Angkor Wat
Covering 162.6 hectares, the temple complex at Angkor Wat holds the record as the world’s largest religious structure. Built between 1113 and 1150 CE in the ancient capital of Angkor, it now functions as a Theravada Buddhist site in Siem Reap, Cambodia, while its silhouette appears on the national flag.
Mekong Delta Cruise
A wooden sampan glides past rows of banana trees, then slows beside a floating market where vendors shout in Khmer while balancing baskets of fish on their heads. The Mekong Delta Cruise in Cambodia follows the lower Mekong from Phnom Penh toward the Tonle Sap confluence, offering a close‑up view of river life that rarely appears in guidebooks. It is a multi‑day journey that combines transport, accommodation and guided interpretation on a single vessel, and it operates entirely within Cambodian borders.
