Day 1: Bangkok Arrival (D)

Upon arrival at Bangkok’s international airport, you are met by an Our representative at the gate and whisked through customs and immigration. Afterward, transfer to your hotel, nestled conveniently along the banks of the Chao Phraya River.

Day 2: Bangkok (B/L)

Begin your exploration of this modern Southeast Asian city by visiting the Grand Palace, one of the most beautiful examples of the ancient Siamese court. The sprawling, garden-dotted compound includes ornate statues of mythological creatures and more than 100 colorful buildings — many decorated in glittering mosaics and topped with shining golden spires. Also on the grounds is the 18th-century Wat Phra Kaew, Thailand’s most important shrine, where the Emerald Buddha is kept. Little is known about this famous statue, except that it is made of green jade or jasper and that it symbolizes the independence, strength and good fortune of the country. The afternoon is at leisure to unwind in your hotel, take advantage of its award-winning spa, or peruse and shop in some of the nearby high-end galleries and boutiques. This evening, join fellow our travellers at a welcome cocktail party and dinner.

Day 3: Bangkok/ Siem Reap, Cambodia

Fly to charming Siem Reap, where you are met at the airport and expedited through immigration and customs. Transfer to your hotel for a few hours at leisure before setting off in the late afternoon for an exploration of Angkor Wat, an architectural and artistic masterpiece of the mighty Khmer Empire. From Angkor Wat, Khmer kings ruled over a vast territory that extended from the tip of what is now southern Vietnam north to Yunnan in China and west to the Bay of Bengal. Your expert guide shows you the best spots for taking photos of this massive temple complex as rays of sun dance off the exquisite bas relief carvings on its walls and the steep steps of its pyramids.

Day 4: Siem Reap

Travel early this morning to Ta Prohm — entangled in the surrounding jungle foliage and one of the most romantic temples of the Angkor complex — as it is bathed in the golden light of sunrise. Explore the temple at leisure amid exotic bird calls, climb over its crumbling stonework overtaken by creeping strangler figs and take winning photographs before other visitors arrive for the day. Afterward, discover Angkor Thom, a heavily fortified city built in the 10th century by King Jayavarman VII; the mysterious Bayon Temple, with its 172 large-scale faces bearing beguiling smiles; and the Elephant and Leper King Terraces. All are breathtaking, timeless examples of masterful Khmer engineering and artistry. After a traditional Khmer lunch, explore two less-visited areas: Banteay Srei, known for its intricate pink sandstone carvings, and Banteay Samre, dedicated to the Hindu deity Vishnu and one of the most complete temple complexes of Angkor.

Day 5: Siem Reap/ Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam (B/L)

Fly this morning to the largest and most vibrant city in Vietnam. Formerly known as Saigon, Ho Chi Minh City is a bustling hub of activity, in sharp contrast to the traditional ambience of life in Hanoi and the far north of the country. This morning, visit the 19th-century Thien Hau Pagoda, the most important pagoda in Ho Chi Minh City, that serves as a site for prayers to the Buddha as well as to the Chinese deity Thien Hau Thanh Mau, goddess of the sea and protector of sailors. Meander the streets of the surrounding neighborhood of Cholon, the city’s colorful Chinatown, with its Chinese delis, ancient quarters and homes of prestigious local businessmen. Later this evening, gather for dinner at one of Ho Chi Minh City’s culinary hot spots.

Day 6: Ho Chi Minh City (B/L)

This morning, explore the expansive Cu Chi Tunnel network, a key Vietcong resource during the Vietnam War. These tunnels, which total hundreds of miles in length, once housed storage rooms, makeshift hospitals and sleeping quarters that accommodated rebel fighters for up to two weeks at a time. Heavy bombing by U.S. forces did not halt movement through the tunnels, making this an unusually successful defense for the Vietcong. Later, savor the unique flavors of Vietnamese cuisine — a legacy of the various cultures to have passed through the country — before returning to your hotel, where the rest of the day is at leisure to rest or explore the city.

Days 7-8: Ho Chi Minh City/ Danang/Hoi An (B/L)

This morning, arrive in Danang and continue to your resort located on sparkling China Beach, where you settle in during the remainder of the morning. After lunch, visit the charming traditional town of Hoi An, once a flourishing port and meeting place of Eastern and Western cultures under the Nguyen lords. Set off on a sunset boat trip (weather permitting) and get a glimpse of local life as the sun dips into waters punctuated by fishermen’s traps. The next day is yours to enjoy the amenities of your luxurious villa, including several swimming pools; an elegant, serene spa; a tennis court; a state-of-the-art health club; and a coconut treelined private beach. You may also choose to discover Hoi An at your own pace.

Day 9: Hoi An/Danang/Hanoi (B/L)

Today, arrive in charming Hanoi in northern Vietnam, the country’s cultural heart that still bears the traces of centuries of changing cultures and dynasties. The city retains pockets of French colonial architecture and wide boulevards as well as hints of Chinese influences in its temples and gardens — though a modern café culture also flourishes, lending a sophisticated European flare. This evening, attend a traditional water puppetry show, or roi nuoc, for which Hanoi is famous. The theater performance is set in a pond, where 18- to 38-inch puppets are maneuvered by rods and wires concealed under the water to tell stories of daily life in Vietnam.

Day 10 : A full-day sightseeing Ninh Binh (B/L)

Float on the Ngo Dong River amidst the otherworldly “karst” formations, caves, and rice fields of this protected outdoor area, a site which many visitors compare to Vietnam’s famous Halong Bay. Following your trip, you’ll take a break for an included lunch at a local restaurant.

(OP1) Following your mid-day meal, continue to Hoa Lu by vehicle, the ancient Vietnamese city founded by the Le and Dinh royal dynasties. Explore the remains of the temples that dot the area, including the three-story Bich Dong pagoda from the 15th century, plus the temples of Dai Hanh and Dinh Tien Hoang.
