Itinerary
Day 1: Phnom Penh
Arrive at any time, and choose to kick back at the hostel, or head out to explore the city before meeting up with fellow Roamies in the evening. Soak up the vibe of bustling Phnom Penh on a thrilling cyclo tour around the busy streets. Hungry? Good, because we stop by one of best restaurants in Phnom Penh.
Day 2: Phnom Penh/Siem Reap
Hit the road and settle in for the drive today-don't worry, you'll have plenty of stops along the way. Deep fried tarantula anyone? Test your fear factor at the infamous skun insect and spider market offering a wide selection of deep fried creepy-crawlies for you to sample. Close your eyes and CRUNCH! After regaining your senses, you'll visit a silk farm for a demonstration of this age-old weaving practice; a perfect place to pick up a souvenir or two. Continue on to Sambor Prei Kuk, a UNESCO world heritage site which predates Angkor by 100 years. Explore these less-visited ruins and fill your feed with awesome pictures of the forest-encased ancient temples. Arrive in Siem Reap with plenty of time to check out the nightlife. Cheers to another epic day!
Day 3: Siem Reap
Ready for adventure? You have the full day to choose from a multitude of activities. Visit Tonle Sap floating village or go for the big ticket item and visit the massive temple complex of Angkor Wat. Choose to channel your inner tomb-raider and explore with a local guide-your followers will thank you for these shots. Ready to eat? Jump in a tuk tuk and head to the G Adventures-supported New Hope training restaurant for a scrumptious Khmer dinner. Ready to party now? The evening is yours to hit the night market or join a bar crawl along Siem Reap's famed "pub street." Who needs sleep anyways?
Day 4: Siem Reap/Bangkok
Road trip! Head out to cross the Cambodia/Thai border with a stop for some shopping at the massive Rong Kluea market. Continuing through Thailand, you'll visit the remote Wat Sothorn Wararam Woraviharn–a temple revered by local Thai's and not often visited by travellers. Need a snack? Your CEO will purchase some local delicacies for you to try–freshly squeezed palm fruit juice and charcoaled grilled sweet glutinous rice wrapped in banana leaf. Yum! Continue on to your hostel in Bangkok and get ready for a night out like no other. Let's hit Khao San Road! Follow your CEO along Bangkok's famed party street and check out the lively bars and clubs. Grab a Singha lager or a bucket and mix and mingle with the throngs of partiers from around the world. This could very well be the best night of your life. Bring it on!
Day 5: Bangkok
Say goodbye to your Roamies and depart at any time.

Absolutely loved it! Only reason didn't score a 10 is because there was a lot of driving on day 4, but appreciate that boarder control can be unpredictable and mean less stops, so not a criticism

The trip was fantastic but a slightly smaller size would have been better as we were at full capacity of 24 and the group split off quite frequently.

The style of travel doesn't suit everybody. If you are up for seeing and doing as much as possible and running off little sleep then I would highly recommend the tour. If you are looking to relax at any point though there is no opportunity for that.

I had such a great experience and the tour was paved perfectly. I'm a huge fan of how the tour avoided unnecessary flights between cities and supported local communities and businesses.

Some of the activities we did not get the greatest guide to inform us of the background and activities. However all the people were nice so nothing wrong on that part. The Hostels were ok, the highlight was the Lub D hostel in Siem Reap and the trip to Angkor Wat.

our tour guide (tong) was absolutely amazing, and we were absolutely immersed in the culture of the country, people, and places we went to that. Would not have happened if I had been travelling on my own.
