But can you really say you’ve done it all if you’ve missed out on the most incredible temple complex in Asia? Here is your opportunity to visit Angkor Wat using our routes designed with your travel plans in mind. Choose between Bangkok to Bangkok, Bangkok to Saigon, or Saigon to Bangkok.

Transport:

These tours use public bus services between Bangkok and Siem Reap. The road is very poor and during the rainy season in particular (May - September), the journey can be arduous and we use pick-up trucks. Although many travellers enjoy this \'jolting\' introduction to Cambodia, others prefer to fly between Bangkok to Siem Reap instead. Please see the tour dossier for more details.
