Southeast Asia in Style

This luxury tour is designed for travelers wanting a two-week tour that includes Southeast Asia's most enjoyable cities, fascinating cultural attractions, and most luxurious hotels and resorts.

Begin in Bangkok, with several nights at the legendary Oriental Bangkok. Travel by private longtail boat through Bangkok's residential canals, learn about Buddhist art and beliefs at the glittering temple Wat Phra Keow and Wat Po, indulge your senses at Bangkok’s markets, and view traditional Thai art and architecture at the Jim Thompson Museum and the Prasart Museum. Also enjoy Bangkok's wonderful cuisine and spas.

Continue to Cambodia to explore Angkor—the ruins of the ancient Khmer empire. Visit Angkor Wat, an enormous temple city built as a model of the Hindu universe in stone. Nearby is Angkor Thom, a former capital believed to have once housed a population of approximately one million people around its Bayon, Terrace of the Elephants and Terrace of the Leper King. See how the jungle grows over and through Ta Prohm, and stop at the serene Preah Khan, originally a monastery and teaching center. Drive through the countryside to the popular Banteay Srei (“citadel of the women”), a petite temple with elaborate carvings in pinkish sandstone. Watch the sun set over Angkor from atop Phnom Bakheng. Observe local students learning traditional Cambodian arts. Also visit lesser known temples and let us arrange special activities according to your interests (options include bike riding, cooking classes, private yoga, visits to orphanages and children's centers, photography excursions, shopping, and village tours). Accommodation is at the exclusive Amansara resort.

Next, fly to atmospheric Hanoi, Vietnam’s artistic and intellectual capital. Explore the fascinating Old Quarter and its hundreds of specialty shops selling silk clothing, lacquerware, embroidered linens, furniture, bamboo, cooking utensils, ceremonial objects and more. Also visit Hanoi’s main cultural attractions, including the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, his House on Stilts, the One Pillar Pagoda, the Fine Arts Museum and the Temple of Literature. Explore the backstreets and lakes by cylo. Watch a performance of water puppet theater. Sample street food and dine in French colonial villas converted into gourmet restaurants. Enjoy people watching at stylish cafes. Shop for impressive modern art in the city’s many galleries.

From Hanoi, fly to northern Thailand for three nights at the outstanding Four Seasons Resort Chiang Mai, nestled between terraced rice fields and high mountains. Tour mountaintop temples and Chiang Mai's craft districts. There's also a free day to enjoy the resort’s renowned cooking school, spa and infinity pool, or to book golfing or an excursion to an elephant camp and hill tribe villages. Spend one last night in Bangkok, at the Sukhothai Hotel, before departing Thailand.
