DAY 1

Fly to Cambodia

Arrive at Siem Reap airport and be transferred to the hotel.  Overnight: Siem Reap

DAY 2

Floating Village Half Day

In the afternoon, visit one of Siem Reap’s authentic floating villages. Located on the north-western tip of the Tonle Sap, Me Chhrey village allows for an authentic floating village experience. The small village is home to families who unlike other floating communities still live in wooden house boats. The village moves throughout the year, depending on the water levels of the lake. At the end of the dry season when the lake’s water levels are at its lowest, the villagers move closer to shore and live primarily from agricultural activities on land. By visiting a local home you get a better understanding of life on the lake and your guide would be more than happy to translate your questions to your hosts. Return to the port and visit the Silk Farm of Artisans d’Angkor, located a 15-minute drive away. Here people with underprivileged backgrounds are given an opportunity to improve their livelihoods by reviving the ancient crafts of making art and producing silk. A local representative accompanies you and walks you through the farm and explains all the steps necessary to produce quality silk. Return to town for a free evening.

Meals: Breakfast. Overnight: Siem Reap

DAY 6

Phnom Penh - City Tour

The Royal Palace was built by the French in 1866 on the site of the old town. The main building on the compound is the Throne Room. It was built in 1917 in the traditional Khmer style and has a tiered roof and a 59‐meter tower, which is influenced by Angkor Thom’s Bayon Temple. On the compounds of the Royal Palace, the Silver Pagoda stands out in its own distinctive way. The Pagoda’s steps are of Italian marble. On the inside, the floor is comprised of more than 5000 silver tiles, which together weigh nearly 6 tonnes. The pagoda houses a magnificent 17th century Emerald Buddha statue and a 90kg gold Buddha studded with 9584 diamonds. Right next to the palace, the National Museum of Phnom Penh was designed by French historian George Groslier also following traditional Khmer architecture. Finally visit the Wat Phnom located on a man‐made hill, 27m high. Then, have lunch. Although far from pretty, learning more about Cambodia’s recent history is essential and helps to increase one’s perception of Cambodia’s development and the people’s mentality. When on 17 April 1975 Phnom Penh fell, the Khmer Rouge evacuated the city with force leaving and left the capital as a ghost city. Pol Pot turned the former High School of Chao Ponhea Yat into the S‐21 (Tuol Sleng) prison camp where “enemies of the regime” were tortured and later killed. All of its prisoners were registered and photographed and nowadays these pictures deck the narrow halls of the Genocide Museum of Tuol Sleng. It is believed that over 17.000 people were imprisoned at Tuol Sleng, all of them but seven known survivors, eventually found their death. Prisoners who did survive the torture of Tuol Sleng were brought to Choeung Ek, which is known as “The Killing Fields”. This seemingly peaceful area located 17km from Phnom Penh was for everyone entering the site the end of the line. Nowadays it is home to a memorial stupa containing over 5000 skulls, which allows the Khmer people to return and honour their ancestors who died by the Pol Pot regime.  Meals: Breakfast and lunch.  Overnight: Phnom Penh

More about Cambodia

More about Vietnam

Vietnam is on the eastern edge of Indochina and borders China to the north, Cambodia and Laos to the west. One of the first things you'll notice about this Southeast Asian country is that despite its tumultuous history, it's a land of very welcoming people that has a strong, rich and uniquely Vietnamese culture. Stunning beaches, beautiful pagodas and palaces, lush mountain landscapes and bustling cities are all part of its charm. Travellers will often argue over whether they love Ho Chi Minh City of Hanoi more, because both are such wonderful cities to explore. Wandering the ancient streets of World Heritage-list Hoi An is a highlight and cruising Halong Bay lives up to the hype of the guide books. Also, make sure you come with plenty of space in your suitcase, because the shopping is some of the best in the world!
Vietnam boasts stunning natural beauty, historic sites and a rich culture. Combine this with the awe-inspiring temples and picturesque countryside of Cambodia and in you’re in for a real Asian travel treat. This comprehensive tour package covers all the highlights with guided sightseeing tours. Also included is 4-star hotel accommodation, transportation, internal flights and airfare from Australia.
