Trip Informations
Why you’ll love this trip
Begin in Bangkok and finish in Ho Chi Minh City – with plenty of opportunities to further explore these Southeast Asian hotspots, maybe add an extra couple of days to enhance your adventure and indulge in more Thai massage and Vietnamese coffees.
Let a local expert bring Cambodia’s ancient history to life as you temple-hop at the Angkor complex with your small group – one of South East Asia's most stunning attractions.
Take a boat tour through the floating village of Tonle Sap Lake – the largest freshwater lake in Southeast Asia – and learn about the locals’ unique lifestyle of living on the water.
Learn the confronting yet important history of Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum (S21) and the Killing Fields of Choeung Ek in Phnom Penh with a full-day experience.
Enjoy a trip that’s packed full of experiences, giving you a great insight into Cambodia, all in a short time – perfect for the traveller passing through or those with limited availability.
Is this trip right for you?
You'll visit several temples on this trip, and this requires a level of modesty. Be sure to bring clothes that cover the arms and pants or skirts that go past the knees. A light scarf is also good for covering shoulders and arms when it’s hot.
There are some long travel days by private and public transport (up to 10 hours on the road) on the border crossing days. These are relatively comfortable vehicles with air conditioning, designated seats and luggage compartments. Your leader and local guides will assist with the border crossings to ensure it’s as smooth as possible, but plenty of patience is advised.
This trip is a great way to see a lot in a short period of time and it can be part of a longer itinerary if you have more time to explore. You might like to check out Best of Cambodia & Vietnam.

We have embarked on numerous tours, but our tour guide truly elevated this trip in Cambodia to an extraordinary level. He ensured we were well-informed, prioritized our safety, and treated us with genuine kindness. Hip Ponloue is an invaluable asset, and I wholeheartedly recommend this journey to others. The beauty of Cambodia, combined with Hip's sincere care and dedication to showcasing the country, made our experience unforgettable.

This trip is really fantastic. For me it has the right balance of organised activities and free time. The guide was really great and provided so many recommendations and info that I wouldn't have found by myself, so it's great that they use local guides. The transport between places was also a lot more comfortable than I expected, so the long travel days weren't actually too bad!

The trip far exceeded our expectations. The guides professionalism, knowledge, and personality contributed much to an outstanding itinerary, including optional activities. Hotels were located in great spots and had lovely staff. Loved having refillable water bottle stations and often stunning swimming pool areas too
