One Night in Bangkok
In and around Southeast Asia
An adventure we have been planning for some time, taking in Thailand, hopefully a side trip to Myanmar, followed by a boat trip down the Mekong River to Luang Prahbang. Ha Noi beckons after a few days in Laos. Three weeks travelling through Vietnam visiting Halong Bay, Sapa, Hue, Hoi An, Nha Trang and Ho Chi Minh City. Onwards again to Siem Reap and the majestic Angkor Wat, then its home via Phnom Penh and Bangkok where we get to spend our one night in Bangkok.
