Travel from Thailand to Cambodia and follow the road to the former kingdom of the Khmers. Experience the extravagant beauty of the temples of Angkor with a local guide and examine the exquisite Cambodian bas-reliefs. Perhaps take the opportunity to visit Tonle Sap Lake or a nearby local village.

Visit Phnom Penh and reveal the chilling events of Cambodia's past at S-21, the notorious Khmer concentration camp, and Choeung Ek, the site of the infamous Killing Fields. In free time, the Royal Palace reveals a different side of Cambodian history, while the Russian Market is a good place to pick up a traditional krama.

Feel the wind whip past while travelling down the Mekong Delta in a speedboat, crossing into Vietnam along the way. See the floating houses of Chau Doc, watch fishermen ply their trade and maybe even travel up Sam Mountain to admire a dramatic sunset over the Vietnamese and Cambodian border.

If arriving early, explore the diverse range of sights in Ho Chi Minh's tourist spots, get a birds-eye view from a rooftop bar or slurp a steaming Vietnamese pho at a street stall. Delve into an underground world of guerrilla warfare in the incredible Cu Chi Tunnels before visiting the War Remnants Museum.

Make tracks to Hoi An and discover centuries-old temples, charming houses and gilded community halls. The many art galleries, shops and cafes are also a great way to while away time in one of Vietnam's most charming riverside towns.

Head out on an overnight Halong Bay cruise on a private junk boat. Floating on turquoise waters which flow between the stunning weathered limestone peaks, is one of the real tour highlights.

Back in Vietnam's capital, there's free time for some optional last minute activities including a cyclo tour or shopping expedition. Or simply relax with a bia hoi in an atmospheric street cafe and recount highlights of a memorable trip.
