floor-to-ceiling windows reveal panoramic riverscapes. Unwind in the privacy

of your design suite—whether from the comfort of your California King bed,

private terrace, or daybed—as the Mekong quietly unveils its magic.

Together, we celebrate the onward journey towards the heart of this mighty

river with a Khmer Apsara performance, an indigenous tradition memorialized

on the temple walls of Angkor Wat.

the magnificent silverware favored by Khmer royalty. We continue to

traditional potters and palm sugar producers in the village of Andong

Russei. There’ll be a chance to explore while riding mountain bikes or

chauffeured by tuk-tuks. We’ll pedal through rice paddies to watch

climbers scale the sky-piercing palms towering over us.

In the morning, we visit Phat Sandai, a remote village where schools,

churches, and even the police station float along the riverbank. Learn

about the locals' unique way of life and efforts to conserve biodiversity in

the area. For a truly immersive experience, kayak past floating houses and

cool off in the shaded canopy of aquatic trees. After a cooking

demonstration followed by lunch, we set off by skiff to Phnom Neang

Kangrey, before continuing to a handicraft village by tuk-tuk. Alternatively,

guests may opt for a hike through shaded forest trails or cycle through the

scenic countryside to the Phnom Touk Meas biodiversity area.

tuk, with stops at the Royal Palace, Silver Pagoda and the National

Museum of Genocide, or explore the Toul Tumpoung Market.

head off by van to Long Son Pagoda for a panoramic view atop Sam

Mountain. Ask the monks about their age-old Mahayana Buddhist

practices before returning via the bustling morning market. Optional 18-

kilometer bike ride on Long Khanh Island to see paddy fields and get a

snippet of local life.

In the afternoon, we visit a typical Mekong Delta village called My An Hung,

performed by villagers, followed by a unique Unicorn dance. A 17-kilometer
