Vietnam & Cambodia Luxury Escape with Song Saa Private Island

8 AM Bangkok hotel pickup. 2.5-hour scenic transfer south, starting our bike journey from a tranquil Buddhist temple. Gentle ride through charming villages, followed by delicious Pad Thai lunch. Evening arrival at a stunning Gulf of Thailand resort with coastal walks and views of Koh Samet island.

We start early to beat the heat, then hop on our bikes after a quick drive. Along the coast, we ride on a gently rolling road lined with food vendors and cafes, perfect for breaks. After lunch and maybe a swim, we pedal on to Chanthaburi, reaching our cozy resort on the outskirts, nestled by an irrigation channel.

Morning: Bike around Chanthaburi, visit Catholic quarter, morning market, and fruit orchards. Stop at Durian Land. Lunch, then van to Thailand/Cambodia border. Meet Cambodian team. Arrival in Battambang before sunset.

This morning, we’ll join a tour led by students from Kinyei, a local group that helps people learn new skills. They run a biking program called Soksabike. We’ll ride around Battambang’s villages to see how people live and work, especially when it comes to food. You’ll see how they make rice wine, dried bananas, and a snack called Kralanh (bamboo sticky rice). It’s a fun way to learn about life here.

This morning, we’ll ride through trails in Angkor archaeological park. We’ll see lesser-known temples like Preah Khan and Ta Som, and have lunch at a local house. Sometimes, we’ll see lots of tourists, but we’ll avoid the crowds. We’ll finish our ride before sunset, maybe with a drink. Then, we’ll go to a great restaurant in Siem Reap for dinner with special family recipes.
