As per the trip title our 12-day adventure was designed to visit many of the better known locations in both countries including Hanoi, Ha Long Bay, Hoi An, Ho Chi Min City, Angkor Wat and Phnom Penh. We traveled by a combination of minibus, boat and plane during our time in these two countries which maximized our time to visit the many interesting locales.
Angkor Wat
Angkor Wat Trips
Angkor is the standout archaeological site in Southeast Asia, with more than 100 stone temples built by Khmer kings over 400 years. Of all the structures, however, it is Angkor Wat that shines brightest – a Hindu temple so vast that it is said to have taken 300,000 people and 6,000 elephants to build. Elsewhere, there is plenty more to see on Angkor Wat tours. Another highlight is the Bayon, which features 54 intricately carved gothic towers complete with enormous carved smiling faces. Though much of Angkor has been restored, the Ta Prohm temple was deliberately left with its jungle covering; you get a real sense of what the French explorers would have seen when they rediscovered the site in the 1870s. This remarkable place is definitely one for the bucket list.

Antonia Muir Vietnam & Angkor – Premium AdventureThe entire group of 12 people had diarrhoea during the holiday. Also it was clear that firstcomers had paid the full price (having been told by Exodus that they only needed 4 people to make the trip viable) that while late bookers and those booking through Trailfinders paid a substantial discount!
Xiaolin WU Cycle Indochina & AngkorJust cam back from the Indochina trip, really enjoyed it. Made a video about it, if the future travellers want to know what to expect. https://youtu.be/wxvuuzrSLDE?si=H0rPRX3B_j199x1N
Would be nice if we had extra day in Bangkok. And the free day in Saigon could be a bit more organised.
