Vietnam, Cambodia & Laos offer unrivalled attractions in the form of ruins, colonial remnants, stunning scenery, ethnic diversity & exotic food. Their shared history is evident, but it is their distinct differences that render the area such a fantastic travel experience. In Vietnam, vivid rice paddies climb up mountainsides or sit alongside beautiful Coastal scenery; feverish Ho Chi Minh City plays noisier, more moneyed brother to the enchanting, romantic Hanoi. Cambodia is home to the magnificent Angkor Wat, the zenith of Southeast Asian architecture. Phnom Penh offers the glistening Royal Palace, eclectic markets and poignant relics of a turbulent past. Laid-back Laos provides a beautiful backdrop. From the picturesque gilded temples of Luang Prabang to the chilled out Mekong islands of Siphandon, it's hard not to be inspired by this exquisite country. Vietnam (including Hanoi & the north, Hue, Hoi An, Danang, Ho Chi Minh City) Cambodia (including Phnom Penh and Ankgor) Laos (including Vientiane, Luang Prabang, Plain of Jars & Vieng Xai)
