Vietnam and Cambodia offer a variety of activities to suit all interests. In Vietnam, take a street food tour, go on a motorbike tour, or attend a water puppet show. In Cambodia, take a cooking class, visit a floating village, or ride a bamboo train.

The temples of Angkor are a must-see attraction in Cambodia, and exploring the Cu Chi Tunnels is a fascinating experience in Vietnam.
