With narrow streets, crumbling buildings and a laid-back pace of life, Hoi An is one of the most appealing and unintimidating places in Vietnam to wander under your own steam, exploring the riverside cafés and indulging in a bit of people-watching. If you fancy something more active, meanwhile, you might like to rent bicycles and head out into the surrounding countryside. The choice is yours, as day five will be yours to spend however you wish.

After a busy day of exploration, day 11 makes for a relaxing contrast as you board a cruise on the great Tonle Sap Lake – the largest freshwater lake in Southeast Asia. One of the highlights of the cruise today will be visiting the floating village of Kampong Phluck, where the houses are built on stilts above the water. Depending on when you visit, these may tower above the water level or appear to be floating on its surface.

After a picnic lunch, you will return to Siem Reap for a relaxing afternoon before heading out by tuk tuk to the jewel in Cambodia’s crown: Angkor Wat. Built in the early 12th century, Angkor Wat is the largest religious monument in the world and forms the centrepiece of the Cambodian flag, which should give you some indication of its importance to the Cambodian people. During the late afternoon there will be fewer visitors than during the day, so you will be able to enjoy the miles of incredible carvings with minimal crowds.
