Overview:

Thailand has retained its unique culture, traditions and language and has been home to highly developed civilizations even before the Thai themselves arrived. Begin in Bangkok, one of the world's most exciting cities and one of extremes. It is a city that is larger than life, with its futuristic high-rise buildings juxtaposed against the glittering Grand Palace.

Next, on to Cambodia. Arrive in Siem Reap in northern Cambodia, to see the incredible Temples of Angkor, which occupies an area twice as large as Manhattan. But, there is more to this country: endearing Phnom Penh, with its mix of French colonial and Khmer influences, the great lake of Tonle Sap, rural landscapes filled with stilt houses and rice paddies, and a warm, friendly people rebuilding their country and reclaiming their heritage.
