Culture vultures looking for a Far East fling taking in the best of old and new.

Culture overload? Take some time out on one of Vietnam’s beaches.
1
BANGKOK
We fly you directly into Bangkok, where designer boutiques meet floating markets and ancient temples fight for attention with towering sky-scrapers. We give you three nights here at the cool, contemporary and sophisticated Metropolitan Bangkok Hotel and a day with our guide to show you the sights.
2
SIEM REAP
From Bangkok we fly you to Siem Reap for four nights at the lovely La Residence D’Angkor. Watching the sun come up over the Angkor temples rates as one of our most magical experiences. Our guide will take you off the beaten tourist trails for intimate encounters with temples still half-buried in Camobodian jungle.
3
PHNOM PENH
Next is Cambodia’s lively capital, Phnom Penh, with charming (if crumbling) French-Indonesian architecture and a heart-breaking history. Spend two nights here at Raffles Hotel Le Royal Phnom Penh to soak it all up.
4
SAIGON
From Phnom Penh, we take you by boat to the Vietnamese border where you meet the Basaac Cruise along the Mekong to Vietnam. This lovely old wooden boat takes you on an over night journey at a tranquil pace to see floating markets and Mekong village life. Your boat drops you off in Saigon (or Ho Chi Minh), a vibrant city home to some excellent museums. The labyrinthine Cu Chi tunnels tell of Vietnam’s war-torn past. After three nights in Saigon, we transfer you to the airport in time for your flights home or on to the beach.
