This exhilarating trip highlights the diverse cultures of three South East Asian countries, Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand and it’s packed with heaps of adventure as you travel overland by train, road and boat. Begin in north Vietnam and discover the charms of graceful Hanoi before taking the train down to a city that’s steeped in history and culture, Vietnam’s former imperial capital, Hue. A short drive through some remarkable rural and coastal scenery brings you to Hoi An. We spend some time in this wonderfully preserved ancient port town, a favourite of every traveller to Vietnam.
Further south at the beach resort-city of Nha Trang you’ll cruise the offshore islands and relax in the sun before once again catching the overnight sleeper train down to the steamy southern city of Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon). Drive overland into Cambodia and after spending a day exploring its capital Phnom Penh, continue by bus around South East Asia’s largest freshwater lake to Siem Reap. From here you’ll explore what is regarded as one of the world’s greatest archaeological monuments, the magnificent Angkor temple complexes.
Your adventure is by no means over yet as you journey to the former French colonial outpost of Battambang. From Battambang you drive to the Cambodian/Thai border town of Poipet over rough and undeveloped roads, in local mini-vans. The roads improve and you continue on to exciting Bangkok and journey’s end in the comfort of an air-conditioned coach.
