Experience Overview
This expertly led premium cycling adventure covers three Southeast Asian countries with divergent histories and subtly different cultures. From the energetic streets of Bangkok to tranquil paddy fields, to the magnificence of Angkor’s temples and alluring Phnom Penh. We experience a piece of everything these remarkable countries have to offer while staying in premium accommodation, including three nights at the Lynnaya Urban River Resort & Spa in Siem Reap.
Heading into Vietnam, we enter the Mekong Delta, a spectacular patchwork of paddies and waterways before our journey ends in Ho Chi Minh City, where the frenetic pace and vibrant street life contrasts starkly with the rural areas we have cycled through.

Trip For You
This Premium Adventure is rated Activity Level 3 (Moderate) and classified Road. For more information on our trip gradings please visit our Activity Level Guidelines page. If you have any queries about the difficulty of the trip please do not hesitate to contact us.
Nine days of cyclingAverage daily distance 33mi (54km) per day with 95 percent vehicle support
Terrain and route: The roads are generally well-paved in Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam, with some easy dirt roads in Thailand and Vietnam. Conditions will be hot and humid and there are some long days, but there are very few hills. Traffic levels in Southeast Asia are higher near the larger towns, so you should be comfortable riding occasionally in traffic. Though many of the roads are in good condition you should expect potholes and occasional poor road conditions.
Group Description
Generally, we use different support staff and vehicles for each country, but all groups will be accompanied by one expert cycling Tour Leader from start to finish, either Thai, Cambodian or Vietnamese. The tour leader will be assisted by a second cycling leader and (if required) local guides.
Eating Drinking
All breakfasts, five lunches and six dinners are included.
The food on this trip is a real highlight for many. Southeast Asian cuisine is known for its abundance of freshly prepared dishes with strong aromatic flavours. There is a focus on herbs and citrus to ensure each dish packs a punch; chilli does feature highly too but is easily avoided.
Typically, most dishes come with rice and many are often served in a banana leaf with a variety of dips and herbs served separately.
The three countries visited ensure a different culinary experience every time you cross the border: ensure you try freshly made pad Thai noodles from the street stalls of Bangkok; the fish amok curry in Cambodia for a creamy coconut-based fragrant curry; and banh xeo (huge sizzling pancakes) in Vietnam.
Western food is available almost everywhere except in the Mekong Delta region.
Vegetarians are well catered for but please inform us before departure of any special dietary requests.
Please note, the availability of certain specialised products for restricted diets (eg gluten-free or dairy-free) is minimal or non-existent and we strongly recommend you bring these specialised dietary items from home.
You may find it beneficial to bring energy bars or gels with you from home to use during a ride. However, on Premium Adventure cycling departures, an included snack kitty is provided usually consisting of fresh fruit, nuts, biscuits and local snacks along with drinks and electrolyte powders.
Transportation
Throughout the tour, we use a private air-conditioned minibus/coach. There are a couple of long driving days on this trip (up to seven hours). Road conditions are sometimes poor, and progress can be slow.
We use different vehicle set-ups in each country, as our vehicles do not cross international borders.
Thailand: We have 100 percent vehicle support. There will be one or two support buses, plus a support truck for the bikes and baggage.Cambodia: There is 95 percent vehicle support, with vehicles to carry both clients and bikes.Vietnam: There is 80 percent vehicle support, with vehicles to carry both clients and bikes nearby if needed in the Mekong Delta.
Tet Holiday Period (Vietnamese New Year)
During the Tet holiday period, 28 January to 3 February 2025 and 16-21 February 2026, our itinerary is subject to minor change as, despite booking hotels and trains in advance, rooms and seats are difficult to obtain during this busy festive period when people are travelling home to celebrate with their families. It is unlikely that changes will occur, but if required, suitable alternative premium accommodation will be used.

Weather Information
In Thailand and Cambodia, the weather is hot and humid year-round. The dry season runs from November to April with the monsoon between May and October. April and October are transition months. The dry season is characterised by hot days and generally clear skies, though you can expect the odd shower. The monsoon is characterised by short bursts of rain and can be a very atmospheric time to travel but an umbrella may be useful.
In Vietnam, the weather patterns are very similar to Cambodia – expect year-round temperatures from 25C to 39C (77F to 102F). The rainy season will normally run from June to September when you should expect short showers, but the sun will normally break through for extended periods.
From the end of March to May, the temperatures become very hot and humid with temperatures into the high 30Cs (around 100F) between Bangkok and Siem Reap as this is the build up to the monsoon season.
Spending Money
You will need about US$300-US$370 for meals not included, which will allow you to eat well. Apart from the food, you should allow money to cover drinks (a little more if you like a beer/alcohol) and souvenirs.
Tipping
On this Premium Adventure, tipping for any local support staff is included, and will be taken care of by your tour leader (or in some cases through our local agent). So need no for any tipping kitty contributions or to make your own tips during the trip.
Our ‘included tips’ will normally cover drivers, local specialist guides, certain hotel staff, and serving staff for included meals. Amounts will be in line with the local standard. Of course, if you wish to make a further tip for some extra special service you may do so.
Tips for the Tour Leader are not included. Whether to tip at all and the amount is entirely at your own discretion, but as a starting point we suggest around US$3-US$6 per person per day for the duration of the trip.

Premium hotels and resortsRelax at the end of each day in our expertly curated, handpicked accommodation on this Premium adventure. Each has been chosen for its location, comfort, style, and unique characteristics. The hotels typically used can be found on the day-to-day itinerary. Below are just some of the notable accommodations on this trip. Bangkok: U Sathorn Bangkok Hotel (night 1) The U Sathorn is a peaceful oasis in bustling Bangkok. The rooms (decorated with a contemporary take on the French colonial style) are set around a central courtyard, in the middle of which is the pool. There’s also the J’aime restaurant, founded by chef Jean-Michel Lorain, owner of the Michelin-starred La Côte Saint Jacques in Burgundy. It has an upside-down design concept (with a piano on the ceiling!) and an innovative fine-dining menu. Siem Reap: Lynnaya Urban River Resort & Spa (nights 5-7) Relax at this intimate riverside resort, which sits in the heart of Siem Reap. For ultimate peace, there’s the Nirvana Spa, which offers a traditional Khmer massage, plus tropical gardens and a freshwater pool. The Palate restaurant serves modern Cambodian cuisine made from fresh, local ingredients, and has a sky bar for cocktails with a river view. Cai Be: Mekong Riverside Boutique Resort & Spa (night 11) Unwind while enjoying Mekong Delta hospitality at this riverside boutique resort. Find ultimate relaxation with a treatment or two at the Oasis Spa or with a dip in the outdoor pool. There’s also the Mekong Medley restaurant, which serves local and international cuisines, plus two bars: one by the pool, the other at the restaurant (where you can enjoy your drink on the balcony for views over the Mekong). Ho Chi Minh City: Alagon Saigon Hotel & Spa (nights 12-13) In the heart of Ho Chi Minh City, and close to the main attractions, the Alagon is well placed for exploring.

Itinerary
Welcome to Bangkok. You are free to arrive at any time today. There will be a welcome group meeting and briefing with your leader in the early evening followed by an included group welcome dinner. Your main luggage will be transported ahead of you to the start point early in the morning so please bring this with you to the welcome meeting; just hold onto what you need for the night/morning – you will be with your luggage again by mid-morning tomorrow. Premium accommodation: U Sathorn Bangkok, Bangkok (four-star)
It’s an early start as we venture out of Bangkok to the ancient town of Ayutthaya. Our two-hour transfer takes us into the heart of this fascinating site and we start cycling by the huge reclining Buddha. Much of the old town was destroyed by the Burmese in the 18th century and we will cycle through the remaining shrine towers and enormous temples to appreciate the past magnificence. Premium accommodation: The Kantary Ayutthaya Hotel, Ayutthaya (four-star)
Today we follow minor roads through rural landscapes, including rubber and eucalyptus plantations, and tapioca and rice fields. We stop for lunch at a local restaurant along the way. There are a few easy rolling hills, but the route is mostly flat. The ride ends when we join a busier road before driving the final short distance to the town of Kabin Buri by bus. For dinner, join our tour leader and group for traditional Thai cuisine. Premium accommodation: Kantary Kabinburi Hotel, Kabin Buri (four-star)
Leaving our hotel early, we ride towards Tha Krabak where we can stop by a reservoir for a swim and a view of the untouched jungle on the other side. We will break for lunch along the way before cycling on quiet but well-maintained scenic roads en route to Aranyaprathet, 6mi (10km) from the Cambodian border. Premium accommodation: The VELO's Hotel & Pumptrack, Aranyaprathet (four-star)
After breakfast, we bid farewell to Thailand and drive to the busy border, completing customs formalities as we cross into Cambodia at Poipet. Due to years of civil war, Cambodia is poorer and less developed than its neighbours. Apart from growth in the capital and around Siem Reap, countryside life is still much the same as it has been for centuries. Arriving into Cambodia, we transfer to Siem Reap (approximately 2hr 30min). Here the group spends the next three nights at the intimate Lynnaya Urban River Resort & Spa – the perfect base to explore Angkor. This afternoon's shorter ride from Siem Reap takes us past Wat Athvea, a modern temple in the grounds of the ruins of an Angkorian temple and ends at a market and picnic area outside Siem Reap. Premium accommodation: Lynnaya Urban River Resort & Spa, Siem Reap (four-star)
Today we may choose to have an early start to avoid the inevitable crowds drawn to the wonders of Angkor. The various temples are spread over a wide area and are linked by shady avenues; meandering our way between them by bike provides a unique perspective. Our cycle tour will include: the jungle-covered Ta Prohm, with amazing fromagier tree roots clinging to the ancient stones; Angkor Thom, with the Bayon temple of 37 towers (originally 49) topped with the four faces of the king; and, of course, the incredible Angkor Wat, with its huge moat, long causeway and massive towers. Premium accommodation: Lynnaya Urban River Resort & Spa, Siem Reap (four-star)
Today we cycle outside the main Angkor complex to the outlying temple of Banteay Srei, 22mi (35km) from Siem Reap town. Our route takes us past paddy fields and through pretty villages. Banteay Srei was built in the 10th century and contains some of the finest examples of Khmer sculpture. Although much smaller than the later temples, here all the buildings are covered in exquisite carvings. We also stop along the way at a village where we'll have to chance to meet the local people and learn from them about their way of life, including the art of Khmer noodle making. Here we can taste this popular Cambodian dish and sugar palm. In the afternoon, as we cycle back to Siem Reap, we can stop at a few of the lesser visited Angkor temples. Siem Reap town is pleasant to wander around; the market has plenty of interesting and excellent shopping opportunities and there is a vibrant nightlife. This afternoon there may also be time to visit the Tonle Sap Lake, which is a branch of the Mekong River. Time permitting, this optional trip includes a boat ride to see floating fishing villages. Anyone wanting to do this visit may need to miss part (or all) the ride back to Siem Reap, depending on timings. Cycle approximately 43.5mi (70 km) if riding the full distance to and from Banteay Srei. Premium accommodation: Lynnaya Urban River Resort & Spa, Siem Reap (four-star)
Today we rest our legs and take a private transfer (approximately seven hours) to Phnom Penh, with a couple of stops along the way. We visit Sambor Prei Kuk, the most impressive group of pre-Angkorian monuments in Cambodia with some of the oldest structures in the country. We'll also pause for a traditional Khmer lunch at a community restaurant here. The road is currently undergoing some resurfacing, so some sections will be bumpy. We should arrive in Phnom Penh for late afternoon, the perfect time for a sundowner on the Mekong. Premium accommodation: Patio Hotel and Urban Resort, Phnom Penh (four-star)
The fortunes of Phnom Penh have shifted dramatically during its history and the terrible years of the Khmer Rouge and subsequent civil war through the 1970s and 1980s have scarred the country. During our stay, we visit two sites that give us a vivid impression of some of the horrors. There is the Genocide Museum, which is the former Khmer Rouge prison known as S-21 or Tuol Sleng, in the city centre. And 9mi (15km) out of town is the Killing Fields, a mass grave and execution site for the former inmates of S-21. While visiting Tuol Sleng and the Killing Fields may not appeal to everyone, we feel they give us an important understanding of what the country and its people had to endure just a few decades ago. Now, the city is on the rise again and is a fascinating place with fine examples of French colonial architecture. We will also tour the Royal Palace with its Silver Pagoda. Afterwards, there is also excellent shopping at the Russian market if you wish. There may also be the option to enjoy a sunset cruise on the Mekong, your leader will advise locally. Premium accommodation: Patio Hotel and Urban Resort, Phnom Penh (four-star)
This morning, we transfer south of Phnom Penh to the town of Takeo. Here the road becomes quieter and we mount our bikes for the 31mi (50km) ride to the Phnom Den/Tinh Bien border. Once we bid farewell to Cambodia (and border formalities have been completed), we cycle approximately 19mi (30km) to the Vietnamese town of Chau Doc, situated along the banks of the Hau Giang River. This evening, we dine overlooking the river and get our first taste of southern Mekong cuisine. Premium accommodation: Victoria Chau Doc Hotel, Chau Doc (four-star)
This morning we depart our hotel and transfer to Chau Giang ferry for a short transfer before cycling along a lovely, quiet backroad, lined with small villages and dwellings, before lunch at a local restaurant. We then visit the ancient village of Long Dien B, home to female artists known for maintaining their ancestors’ special technique of glass painting. Here we have the chance to observe and learn about this traditional culture and art over a cup of tea. The rivers and canals of the Mekong Delta form an amazing network of waterways. The area is famous for its abundant rice production, but many are now moving to more profitable fish farming and fruit and vegetable growing. Afterwards, we transfer to the Mekong Riverside Boutique Resort & Spa, where we stay overnight. The evening is tranquil as we have dinner at the resort and enjoy Delta hospitality. Premium accommodation: Mekong Riverside Boutique Resort & Spa, Mekong Delta (four-star)
Those who wish can rise early to enjoy the sunrise and kayak on the Mekong from the resort before breakfast (optional). We then leave by boat, stopping en route to see Cai Be floating market, a small-scale traditional trading spot. A little further on, we make a short stop to see cottage industries producing items such as popped rice, pancakes, wine and other homemade products. We start our ride towards Cai Lay, where we take a scenic route through orchards and along the Mekong riverbank. Back on the bus in My Tho, we drive on to the heat, hustle and bustle of Ho Chi Minh City, still usually known as Saigon. This is an exciting and absorbing city where scooters pack the streets and temples stand alongside modern developments. Premium accommodation: Alagon Saigon Hotel & Spa, Ho Chi Minh City (four-star)
The whole day is free for you to explore Ho Chi Minh City, do some shopping and relax. There are several interesting things to see: the Saigon River, Ben Thanh market, Reunification Palace and Notre Dame Cathedral are all within easy walking distance. Alternatively, a short cyclo (cycle taxi) ride will take you to the War Remnants Museum, which has an extensive photographic record of the Vietnam/American War. Please be aware that some images at the museum are very graphic. For those interested, the leader can arrange an optional visit to the Cu Chi Tunnels, which are two hours outside the city. Used by the Viet Cong during the war, the network covers three levels with approximately 150mi (240km) of tunnels. Originally these were very narrow, but some areas have been widened to allow tourists to explore the system. Claustrophobes may prefer to stay outside in the sunshine. In the evening, we have a final farewell dinner together, feasting on delicious Vietnamese specialties. Premium accommodation: Alagon Saigon Hotel & Spa, Ho Chi Minh City (four-star)
The trip ends this morning after breakfast in Ho Chi Minh City. If you'd like to extend your stay and discover more of this vibrant city, please enquire with your sales representative at time of booking about requesting additional accommodation.

Paul Dempsey - Traveled, February 2024
Cycling SE Asia at its best Amazing support crews, great routes and experiences creating memorable moments and making new friends. Most Inspirational Moment Thailand amazing food, great routes and support crew who as well as being safe, provided a bit of fun for those that fancied a little challenge. They produced fantastic video clips of our time there. Now that was a premium touch. Thoughts on Group Leader Chai was amazing. Without a doubt made this trip bringing us all together with a smile, a laugh and so knowledgeable about the countries visited. A true leader. Advice for Potential Travellers Pack light. Lots of moving between hotels and not a lot of time to unpack Suggestions Couple of the hotels should not be used as not premium and the last hotel needs to have a pool as it is the only day you really get a chance to relax. Remove those two and the other hotels were great.

Cycle Indochina & Angkor- Premium Adventure “Highly professional support team and an excellent trip leader. Everything went extremely smoothly to the extent we didn’t need to think or worry about a thing. The places we went to and people we met were fantastic. An overall excellent experience. Only one small niggle – I ordered an electric bike and there were issues to the extent that I had to revert to using a standard bike. Luckily I am fit enough that it was not a problem, but if people are relying on electric bikes to enjoy the holiday, it could be a show stopper for them.” Most Inspirational Moment Rit - our leader was FANTASTIC! There is so much about the holiday that was amazing it is hard to specify. Thoughts on Group Leader He was JUST BRILLIANT!
