In Cambodia, you will experience countless archeological and cultural treasures. Primary among those is Angkor Wat, the temple complex that stands as the largest religious monument in the world. Originally established as a Hindu temple, Angkor Wat became a Buddhist temple in the 12th century. Designed to simulate the mythological Mount Meru, home of the gods, this breathtaking monument was constructed in the temple mountain design and features concentric galleries ornately carved from sandstone blocks. Now habituated by saffron-robed monks and pilgrims seeking spiritual enlightenment, Angkor Wat holds the treasures of the Khmer people and a peek into Indochinese history.

Ha Long Bay, located n Quảng Ninh Province of Vietnam, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that was home to prehistoric civilizations as far back as 18,000 BC. Bearing great importance in Vietnamese history, this “rock wonder in the sky” has been the subject of many a verse and song. Enjoy the picturesque fishing villages, massive grottos and dramatic limestone cliffs.

In the ancient Vietnamese city of Saigon (formally Ho Chi Minh City today), you will fall in love with the French colonial architecture and grand boulevards. In addition to its vast architectural and cultural history, Saigon is home to hundreds of cinemas, museums, theatres, gardens and world-class restaurants.

In northern Thailand, Chiang Mai holds the Phra Singh, one of the most famous images of Buddha. Tour the ancient city by rickshaw and stroll the many open-air markets, including the famous Night Market.

The famed Golden Triangle, the confluence of the Ruak and Mekong Rivers, marks the location where Thailand, Laos and Myanmar (Burma) come together. A region rich in natural beauty and lifestyles, this area is home to many important temples and spiritual gathering places.
