Southeast Asia vacation idea
Thailand & Cambodia: Bangkok, Chiang Mai & Angkor Wat
A 16-day guided journey through Thailand and Cambodia, from Bangkok and northern Thailand to the temples of Angkor.
Why This Trip Stands Out
This is a strong first Southeast Asia tour for travelers who want major cultural highlights, historic cities and Angkor Wat at an approachable guided-tour price.
- Bangkok’s temples, markets and city life.
- Historic Ayutthaya and Sukhothai.
- Chiang Rai and Chiang Mai in northern Thailand.
- Three nights in Siem Reap for the Angkor temple complex.
- A longer 16-day itinerary with transportation and sightseeing organized.
