Siem Reap Town - Gateway to the Temples of Angkor Nestled between rice paddies and stretched along the Siem Reap River, the small provincial capital of Siem Reap Town serves as a gateway to the millennium-old temple ruins. Designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, the Angkor Archaelogical Park encompasses dozens of temple ruins including Bayon, Banteay Srey and the legendary Angkor Wat, whose artistic and archaeological significance and visual impact put it in a class with the Pyramids, Machu Pichu and the Taj Mahal. Unlike many other world class monuments, the ruins of Angkor are as yet unspoiled by over-development. More

Vientiane, with a population of just over half a million, is the centre of Laos culture, commerce and administration and is considered as being mad busy in comparison with the other Laotian urban conglomerations. Located on the banks of the Mekong River, Vientiane, like many South East Asian cities, is a place of contrast. Rice and vegetable fields are well hidden behind tree-lined pathways, where French-style buildings stand next to Buddhist monasteries and monuments, each telling a story of the country's rich, cultural and somewhat troubled past.
