The War Remnants Museum in Ho Chi Minh City is dedicated to the conflict with the United States, showcasing remarkable exhibits from that period; notably, the "Requiem Photographic Exhibition" which features photographs by journalists who tragically died in the war.
The Silver Pagoda in Phnom Penh, also known as Wat Preah Keo, is a stunning and culturally significant temple located within the Royal Palace complex. Named for its gleaming silver floor, which consists of over 5000 silver tiles, the pagoda houses many national treasures, including a revered emerald Buddha and a life-sized gold Maitreya Buddha encrusted with thousands of diamonds.
Siem Reap. From the detailed bas-reliefs and the expressively sculpted apsaras to the architectural wonder that is Angkor Wat, the Angkor Archaeological Park serves as a testament to the extraordinary sophistication of the ancient Khmer Empire.
Luang Prabang houses over 1200 monks and the golden spires of its numerous temples reach towards the heavens. Experience the Tak Bat at dawn, where monks and novices line the streets to receive alms.
Ho Chi Minh City, or Saigon as it’s still known by locals, has a French colonial past that resonates in its architecture and lively café society. Yet this is a quintessentially Asian city where life, in all its noise and colour, is lived on the streets. Just outside the city borders are the Củ Chi Tunnels – over 200 miles of underground tunnels and chambers below the city that played a crucial part in the Vietnam War.

Delve deeper into Indochina’s captivating landscapes on a four-night Mekong Explorer Cruise, concentrating solely on Cambodia’s timeless pastoral serenity or travelling back in time as you sail upriver from Ho Chi Minh and the thriving Mekong Delta, past floating villages, historical vestiges and gilded pagodas to the Art Deco landmarks of Phnom Penh.
The glimmering spires of the Royal Palace, the fluttering saffron of the monks' robes and the luscious location on the banks of the mighty Mekong... Cambodia's capital can be a real assault on the senses. Motorbikes whiz through laneways without a thought for pedestrians; markets exude pungent scents; and all the while the sounds of life – of commerce, of survival – reverberate through the streets. But this is all part of the attraction.

For those seeking ancient culture and history, Cambodia's World Heritage Site of Angkor, near to the city of Siem Reap, is well worth the pilgrimage. Built between the 9th and 13th centuries by the Khmer kings, the ancient city is home to the spectacular temple complex of Angkor Wat, where, despite being over 11 centuries old, over 100 temples remain. This vast archaeological park and sprawling monument to the golden age of Khmer civilisation is best viewed at sunrise or sunset; and the more adventurous can experience a birds-eye view by hot air balloon. But often side-stepped, Siem Reap is worthy of much attention in itself, with its lovely riverside location, burgeoning cultural scene and one of the region's buzziest dining and drinking scenes.

Luang Prabang slows your pulse and awakens your imagination with its combination of world-class comfort and spiritual nourishment. Sitting at the sacred confluence of the Mekong River and the Nam Khan (Khan River), nowhere else can lay claim to this UNESCO-protected gem's romance of 33 gilded wats, saffron-clad monks, faded Indochinese villas and exquisite Gallic cuisine.

Head to Hanoi, the vibrant capital, and find wide boulevards, shimmering lakes and narrow streets dotted with temples, where early risers are rewarded with the sight of the city's inhabitants exercising by Hoan Kiem Lake – a surreal experience. But for those wanting something with a different pace, try cooling off in this sultry weather with a beer at Bia Hoi Junction. You won't be disappointed.
