Angkor Wat is the kind of place every world traveler should experience and this convenient 3-day Grand Overland Tour makes it all possible. Begin at the pier in Laem Chabang and set off for Bangkok, one of Southeast Asia's most compelling cities. Your narrated drive introduces you to an eclectic city of gilded temples, floating markets, and warm, friendly people. Before flying to Siem Reap, you'll soak it all in, promising one day to return.
Day two of your itinerary takes you deep into the past. After a hearty breakfast at your hotel, you'll join your expert guide for a captivating journey showcasing the astounding architecture of one ancient temple after another. Highlights include the haunting beauty of the Ta Phrom Temple. Once hidden in the jungle, this graceful temple is draped with the massive roots of huge over-hanging fig, banyan and kapok trees.
You'll also marvel at the intricate artistry of pink sandstone reliefs at the Banteay Srey Temple and, at Angkor Thom, you'll feast your eyes on the majestic beauty of the Bayon Temple and the Terrace of the Leper King.
But nothing surpasses Angkor Wat, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Picture a place so imbued with sacred power that it can capture the imagination and soothe the soul. As you wander through the ancient splendor of the Khmer civilization, you'll gaze into the heart and mind of Jayavaram VII who built his temples "for the good of the world" and to "rescue all those who are struggling in the ocean of existence."
Here, where over 100 temples were erected between the 9th and 12th centuries, you'll find a shimmering portal into a vibrant past. Lending physical form to the mythical intricacies of Hindu cosmology, Angkor Wat symbolizes the center of the physical, metaphysical and spiritual universes. As you explore with your English-speaking guide, you'll discover first-hand why Angkor Wat is so high on the list of must-see travel destinations.
Then transfer to the airport for your flight to Ho Chi Minh City. Dinner will be served at your hotel in Ho Chi Minh City. Settle into your comfortable room and end your evening with a kaleidoscope of exotic images lulling you to sleep.
Tomorrow the adventure continues your tour to view the bustling Ho Chi Minh City. Visit the Reunification Hall, National History Museum and enjoy a Water Puppet show. Photo stops at the Notre Dame Cathedral, the French Colonial Post Office, and the City Hall provide indelible images of this intriguing city. And you'll view many of the most noted sights from the Hotel d'Ville and the Ben Thanh Market to Ho Chi Minh Park!
You'll also shop at the Minh Phuong Lacquer Factory, tour the Sea Goddess Temple in Chinatown, and enjoy a bountiful buffet lunch with traditional music. And you'll make a photo stop at the historic Rex Hotel before continuing the transfer to the port city of Phu My where you'll rejoin your ship and continue your cruise.
