From Phnom Penh to Bangkok, cross cultures and landscapes on an 8-day overland journey filled with flavor, calm waters, and jungle calls.
This 8-day journey from Phnom Penh to Bangkok traces a lesser-traveled path through Southeast Asia, where bustling cities, quiet islands, and remote jungles come together in a story of contrasts and connection.
It begins with a warm welcome in Phnom Penh. After a smooth VIP arrival, Cambodia’s capital reveals itself through the sights, scents, and sounds of its bustling markets and fading colonial quarters. A tuk-tuk ride brings the rhythm of the city to life, while a visit to Tuol Sleng offers a powerful and reflective glimpse into the country’s past.
From the city’s pulse, the journey leads south to Koh Rong. This island escape invites stillness; white sand, turquoise waters, and the freedom to simply wander. It is a place where time stretches and the sound of the sea replaces the rush of the road.
Then, inland to the rainforest. Only accessible by boat, Cardamom Tented Camp is a haven for nature lovers and conservationists alike. Guided by Wildlife Alliance rangers, travelers explore on foot and by kayak, tracing old poaching trails and listening for monkeys overhead. Comfort here is measured in quiet moments and jungle sounds.
Crossing the border into Thailand, the journey pauses in Trat, a tranquil town framed by hills and sea. From there, a scenic drive leads to Bangkok with a visit to a traditional fishing village and, if time permits, a stop at a temple garden filled with vivid sculptures exploring Thai concepts of karma.
As the sun sets, Bangkok’s Chinatown comes to life. A tuk-tuk street food tour winds through bustling alleys, where dim sum, dumplings, and traditional desserts sizzle and steam. Each dish tells a story of migration, community, and culinary heritage, bringing the journey to a flavor full end.
This overland journey is designed to combine immersive discovery with moments of quiet reflection. It invites travelers to move slowly, listen closely, and experience Southeast Asia not just as a destination, but as a vibrant tapestry of place and people.
