Having emerged in recent decades as two of the most alluring destinations in Southeast Asia, Cambodia and Thailand now attract millions of visitors each year who come to enjoy their tropical scenery, electric nightlife, delicious local food and awe-inspiring historical sites. On this Roamie trip hosted by G Adventures, travelers will make their way from Phnom Penh to Bangkok over the course of five days, while staying in hostels and partaking in an exciting array of activities. Beginning in Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia, travelers will spend the first two days biking through the city and sampling local delicacies before driving to Sambor Prei Kuk. These ancient ruins, now recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, date back to the 7th century and were once the royal sanctuary and capital of Chenla Empire. After witnessing the temples, travelers will stay a night in the Siem Reap, the second largest city in Cambodia. On the third day, travelers will be free to explore the city and participate in any activities they desire — go on a guided nature tour, eat at a Khmer training restaurant, or even visit the world-famous temple of Angkor Wat. Built in the 12th century, this temple complex is considered to be the largest religious structure in the world, encompassing over 400 acres. Travelers will cross the border into Thailand on the fourth day, stopping at the Rong Kluea market, a popular site for trade between Thailand and Cambodia, which boasts of nearly 1400 individual shops. Travelers will arrive in Bangkok and be led through the city, experiencing the lively party atmosphere and vibrant nightlife for one final evening before returning home the next day.
