Bangkok to Saigon
This overland journey takes you from Bangkok to Saigon and tour combines the best of Laos and Cambodia - two of Indochina's treasure troves.
After years of war, peace and tranquillity have come to Laos and this small land-locked nation is slowly opening its doors and offering the intrepid traveller a warm welcome. We travel by a wide variety of local transport, including bus, songthaew, tuk-tuk, Mekong River boat, mini-van, train and pirogue. Accommodation is in simple hotels and guesthouses.
A flight across to Cambodia enables you to uncover the mysteries of the ancient Khmer civilization. Our journey of discovery begins in Siem Reap, where we'll explore what is regarded as one of the world's greatest archaeological monuments - the magnificent Angkor temple complexes. A bus journey takes us to the Cambodian capital, Phnom Penh, where we spend the day exploring this re-emerging city and visiting the sad and sobering "Killing Fields" of Choeung Ek. Then it's on to the former French colonial outpost of Kampot, before driving to the beach resort town of Sihanoukville, before returning to Phnom Penh.
The final leg of our journey takes us to Vietnam, where we end our trip in the vibrant city of Saigon.
