So you think you’ve seen everything! You’ve walked the beaches of Thailand, you’ve hiked to the hilltribes of northern Vietnam. But can you really say you’ve done it all if you’ve missed out on the most incredible temple complex in Asia? Here is your opportunity to visit Angkor Wat on one of our tours that include Cambodia, Thailand and Vietnam travel all in one travel itinerary.

Choose between Bangkok to Bangkok, Bangkok to Saigon, or Saigon to Bangkok.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

Maximum Group Size: 18
Arrival Transfer: Airport transfer to hotel day 1
Staffing: Fully escorted By Imaginative Traveller tour leader except for Day 5. Guide on Day 3 at Angkor Wat.
Transport: Public bus, pick-up trucks, ferry and occasionally private bus
Activities: Extensive walking at sites
Accommodation: 4 nights simple hotels
Meals: Breakfast included in Cambodia. Allow US$12 per day for other meals
Entrance Fees: Not included. Allow US$20 for 1 day pass for Angkor Wat, US$40 for 3 day pass, allow US$12 for other sites
Local Payment: Must be paid in cash on day 1 of your tour
Transport: These tours use public bus services between Bangkok and Siem Reap. The road is very poor and during the rainy season in particular (May - September), the journey can be arduous and we use pick-up trucks. Although many travellers enjoy this 'jolting' introduction to Cambodia, others prefer to fly between Bangkok to Siem Reap instead. Please see the tour dossier for more details.

WHY NOT EXTEND YOUR STAY?
The tour ends on arrival in Ho Chi Minh City, but it doesn’t have to! You could link up with our ‘Vietnam Adventure’ trip and end up in Hanoi. What a fantastic way to see South East Asia!
