Overview:
Discover the beauty, magic and rich history of
Cambodia,
Vietnam &
Thailand.
Since the days of the Roman Empire, “the Orient" has been
synonymous with “luxury": the home of silks, spices and delicate
porcelain. Today this region of the world remains famous for its
elegant shops, exquisite hotels, luxurious spas and fine
restaurants. You will travel beyond the typical tourist
itinerary and be with expert guides who will share their
personal stories and the struggles in their countries.
Cambodia and Vietnam, both ex-French colonies,
are countries marked by struggle but also shaped, defined and
strengthened by it. Vietnam in particular has absorbed many
outside influences and combined them into a unique national
character. The results are delightful - Confucian morals,
French-inspired architecture and cuisine, and a contemporary art
tradition with echoes of Chagall and Picasso. Cambodia, while
rising to meet the challenges of the 21st century, has also
preserved its ancient treasures in stunning Angkor Wat and
retained the gracious beauty of traditional folkways.
