Experience Southeast Asia on a 17-day overland journey through Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand—explore rich cultures, beautiful landscapes, and meaningful moments off the beaten path
There’s something magical about traveling overland—watching the scenery change gradually as cultures shift from one border to the next. Embark on our 17-day multi-country adventure through Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand. This is more than just a trip; it’s a carefully curated tapestry of local encounters, stunning landscapes, and immersive cross-border storytelling.
The journey begins in Ho Chi Minh City, where travelers dive into Vietnam’s dynamic energy, exploring wartime history, colonial architecture, and buzzing street markets. From there, the adventure follows the Mekong River south through Vinh Long and Chau Doc, with enriching stops to learn about rural livelihoods through hands-on workshops in rice paper making, coconut candy and other local delicacies.
From Chau Doc, cruise by speedboat into Phnom Penh, Cambodia’s vibrant capital, where glittering pagodas and rich history await. As you arrive, dive into the local flavors with traditional Khmer BBQ and a cold glass of Cambodia’s national beer.
Over the next few days, guests dive into the country’s layered history—from the majesty of the Royal Palace and Silver Pagoda to the moving sites of Tuol Sleng and the Killing Fields. Then, it’s time to switch gears with a peaceful train ride to the coast.
The journey continues with a relaxing escape to the island paradise of Koh Rong, where crystal-clear waters and soft white sand beaches offer the perfect tropical pause. At night falls, the ocean comes alive with the glow of bioluminescent plankton—tiny stars dancing in the water, creating a magical, otherworldly shimmer beneath your fingertips.
From there, travelers head north, stepping back in time to explore the mystical grandeur of Angkor Wat in Siem Reap, and uncover hidden gems such as Sambor Prei Kuk and the colonial charm of Battambang.
Finally, the journey crosses by land into Thailand, culminating in the vibrant heart of Bangkok. Discover the city’s cultural highlights aboard a traditional longtail boat—but with a twist. Venture off the typical tourist path and explore the canals like a local, offering a more intimate and authentic glimpse into everyday life along the water.
This overland journey is designed for travelers seeking depth, diversity, and slow discovery—a unique way to experience Southeast Asia beyond the flight path, connecting with each country at a more meaningful, human pace.
