Just 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.

Phnom Penh Trips
The vibrant capital of Cambodia, Phnom Penh, was known as the Pearl of Asia in French colonial times and perhaps still should be today. Situated on the confluence of three rivers, it has an extensive waterfront, which is always a hive of activity; it’s a great place for a wander and a spot of people-watching. Phnom Penh’s two ‘must-see’ sites are the beautiful Royal Palace and the Silver Pagoda, so named for the solid silver tiles that make up its floor. The Tuol Sleng Museum of Genocide, or S21, graphically displays the horrors of Pol Pot’s regime, which systematically ordered the murder of between two and three million Cambodians. It is a sobering and enlightening place to visit.

Lisa Conopo Cambodia AdventureCambodia has been on my bucket list for some time. This trip covered all the places I wanted to visit; Phnom Peng, Kampot, Battambang and the majestic Angkor Wat. The addition of the island of Koh Rong was a bonus with its sandy beaches and crystal blue sea.
Simone Pfluegl Thai Indochina ExplorerThis trip is a wonderful blend of both city energy and the countryside life of Southeast Asia. We visited Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand on this trip. Starting in Ho Chi Minh City, we discovered the history and rich culture of Vietnam, including a home stay with a Vietnamese family who taught us how to make authentic local food. After, we moved on to the tranquil sights of Cambodia, including the UNESCO world heritage temple of Angkor Wat and a day on a lush tropical island. To round off the trip, we enjoyed the vibrant energy of Bangkok.
