Day 1 Bangkok
Exotic markets, eager tuk-tuks, slow-going longtails and serene temples welcome you to Bangkok. Shop till you drop, enjoy a soothing massage or savour the many flavours of Thai cuisine.
Days 2-4 Siem Reap/ Angkor Wat
Don't miss the extraordinary temples of Angkor - they're but a short tuk-tuk ride away. Perhaps also stop at the Landmine Museum en route to support efforts to eliminate these hazards, or peruse Siem Reap's markets for a trinket or two.
Day 5 Kompong Cham
Enjoy Kampong Cham's fusion of frontier charm and French-colonial character - stroll the streets to admire the faded European architecture or hire a bike to explore rustic surrounds.
Day 6 Homestay
Travel further into the Cambodian countryside, to our village homestay. Staying with a friendly local family, this is a unique opportunity to experience rural everyday life and to enjoy a homemade meal.
Days 7-9 Sihanoukville
Find a spot to call your own on the secluded beaches which fringe Sihanoukville or take a boat trip out to nearby idyllic islands offshore. If mangrove forests, monkeys and exotic birds appeal, head to the Ream National Park for a boat safari.
Days 10-11 Phnom Penh
Find graphic reminders of the country's tragic history in the bone-chilling Tuol Sleng Museum, filled with black-and-white photographs of Pol Pot's prisoners or gain insight into brighter times in the shimmering Silver Pagoda.
Days 12-13 Ho Chi Minh City
The adventure comes to an end amid swarms of motorbikes and street stalls in Ho Chi Minh City.
