Arrive early to explore the chaotic capital of Vietnam. Hanoi is an alluring city of contrasts, best discovered by cyclo or on foot. Walk along Hanoi's pagoda-studded lake and perhaps visit some of its rich cultural sights.

Join a scenic boat tour across the emerald waters of Halong Bay, sailing past secluded lagoons and limestone karsts. Indulge in a gourmet seafood lunch, soak up the sun on deck and taking a refreshing dip.

Explore the Old Quarter of Hanoi on foot and wind up next to Hoan Kiem Lake. Choose to visit the mausoleum complex dedicated to Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam's founding father.

Travel through Hue on a bicycle discovering ancient royal treasures or take a boat trip along the Perfume River. Don't miss the Imperial Citadel with its ruined Forbidden Purple City and nine bronze urns.

Journey over the Hai Van Pass, calling into China Beach. Explore the peaceful countryside around Hoi An on a bicycle ride to gain insight into rural life, or perhaps master cuisine in a cooking class.

Relax on squeaky sand beaches or snorkel the offshore reefs of Nha Trang. Vietnam's premier beach playground boasts a number of nearby islands to explore on a leisurely boat trip.

Farewell Vietnam and board a public bus bound for Phnom Penh. Learn about Cambodia’s tragic recent history at haunting Tuol Sleng Museum and the Killing Fields.

Hit the beach in one of the country’s most popular holiday destinations. While in Sihanoukville, take the opportunity to explore surrounding islands on a boat trip or visit the lush Ream National Park.

Return to Phnom Penh and discover more sights in this beguiling city. Perhaps wander through the bustling market stalls of Psar Thmei or relax with a traditional massage.

Admire the fading French architecture of Kompong Cham. This charming city and surrounds is also the perfect place for a two-wheeled adventure.

Don't miss Cambodia's extraordinary temples of Angkor - just a short ride away from the town of Siem Reap. The sight of these iconic ancient wonders framed against a sunset backdrop has to be seen to be believed.

Cross the border into Thailand and cover the home stretch to Bangkok. Why not relax on a slow-going longtail boat or check out the verdant gardens of the Grand Palace.
