Day 1 – April 4, 2026

After disembarking the ship in Laem Chabang, you will meet the guide and proceed to Ayutthaya, the former capital of Old Siam. The drive will take about two hours, so be sure to eat a hearty meal before taking off.

Strategically positioned on an island between three rivers, the city of Ayutthaya rose to prosperity shortly after being founded in 1350, when the Siamese kingdom flourished through trade between the East and West. It remained one of the world’s most cosmopolitan and commercially important cities until the Burmese destroyed Ayutthaya in the 18th century and forced the residents to move to the new capital of Bangkok.

Even so, the archaeological ruins of its monumental monasteries offer a glimpse into its past splendor and size. UNESCO deemed Ayutthaya a World Heritage site in light of these treasures, the simple grid design of its streets and the city’s extremely advanced hydraulic system of water management.

As you meander through the Ayutthaya Historical Park, you will see an abundance of religious buildings such as Wat Ratchaburana. This Buddhist temple features a magnificent central tower, known as a prang, whose priceless contents were recovered and preserved in a national museum.

Following lunch, you will visit Wat Phanan Cheoeng, a temple located at the confluence of the Chao Phraya and Pa Sak rivers. Its oversized statue of Buddha is one of the oldest and most revered such images of Buddha in Thailand. Behind the temple is a small 18th-century shrine built to honor a Chinese princess with a tragic story.

In the late afternoon, you will arrive at the Kantary Hotel for check in. After a bit of time to freshen up, you will enjoy dinner at the hotel and the remainder of the evening on your own.

DAY 2 – April 5, 2026

Following breakfast and check out from the hotel, you will spend the morning visiting a collection of temples in the countryside beyond Ayutthaya. Each has its own allure.

Wat Yai Chai Mongkon is known for its outdoor reclining Buddha and multi-tiered chedi that held sacred relics associated with Buddha. Wat Chaiwatthanaram was built in 1630 to resemble a renowned Angkor temple in Cambodia, while Wat Phu Khao Thong, whose name translates to the Temple of the Golden Mount, features a stark white chedi. It rises above a flat plain of rice fields.

After lunch at a restaurant, you will transfer back to the port at Laem Chabang and re-embark the ship.

Explore the vibrant capital city of Thailand at your own pace. With transfers and hotel accommodations included all you need to do is decide how you will spend your time here. A Regent Seven Seas Hospitality Desk representative will be available to help you plan your stay.

Day 1 – April 21st, 2018

Disembark the ship and meet your English speaking escort who will accompany you on the motor coach transfer into the city of Bangkok. You will check into the Eastin Grand Hotel Sathorn or similar - one of the premier hotels in Bangkok’s luxury hotel sector. This deluxe property is centrally located in the Sathorn business district with its own direct access to the BTS Sky Train system at Surasak Station literally bringing the city to your doorstep.

Once you check –in, the city is yours to discover. Head out on your own or check at the Regent Seven Seas Hospitality Desk for private car touring options or for general information. Private cars may also be reserved in advance at the Destination Services Desk.

Meals are at your leisure today and at your own expense.

Some of the city’s highlights that are easily accessible from your hotel include (but are not limited to):

Siam Paragon Department Store - Siam Paragon is one of the biggest shopping complexes in Asia and includes a wide range of specialty stores and restaurants as well as a multiplex movie theater, the Siam Ocean World Aquarium (the largest aquarium in South East Asia), Madame Tussaud’s Wax Museum Bangkok, an exhibition hall, the Thai Art Gallery, an opera concert hall, a large bowling alley and karaoke center. The gourmet supermarket is an 8,000 square meter foodies’ heaven grocery store on the ground floor where the domestically-produced items carried often have different enticing flavors or are specialty brands not usually stocked elsewhere in Thailand.

Asiatique Night Market - Asiatique has successfully combined two of the most popular shopping experiences in the city: a night bazaar and a mall. Ten minutes downriver from Saphan Taksin BTS station this once-bustling international trade port has been transformed, with over 1,500 boutiques and 40 restaurants housed under a huge replica warehouse complex. Open from 5:00pm, spending an evening here is no problem: you’ll have good fun browsing the boutiques, picking up gifts or something for yourself; you are guaranteed to find something you would like to eat and if this isn’t enough entertainment, variety shows are performed nightly.

The selection of shops is interesting, with a good range of unusual brands rather than row upon row of tourist trinkets. This bazaar is busy but isn’t overrun by tourists; crowds of locals enjoy coming here too. Asiatique is definitely worth dedicating an evening to.

Silom Road -Located between Sathorn and Suriwongse Road, Silom Road runs from the riverside (Charoenkrung Road) eastwards to Rama IV Road. During the day Silom is the city’s banking and business center, often dubbed the Wall Street of Thailand, whereas after sunset it becomes a very famous nightlife area. Silom offers a broad range of night-time activities ranging from food stalls, restaurants, pubs, bars, night clubs, pavement shopping and massages.

MBK Fashion Mall - MBK Center, also known as Mahboonkrong is a large and popular shopping mall for the bargain hunter. It's not as upmarket and stylish as its neighbours, Siam Discovery, Siam Centre and the glitzy Siam Paragon, but it’s a big market for non-brand names and local fashions, gadgets and consumer goods at give-away prices. At eight stories high, the center hosts around 2,000 stores and services, including the 4-story Tokyu department store, restaurants and entertainment.

The Emerald Buddha or Grand Palace - Probably the most visited and remembered landmark of Thailand, The Grand Palace in Bangkok is where every visitor must pay a visit at least once in their lifetime. The construction of the Grand Palace began in 1782 during the reign of King Rama I, the founder of Chakri Dynasty, to become a royal residence, and it has been the utmost architectural symbol of Thailand ever since. The Grand Palace served as a significant royal residence until 1925 and is now used for ceremonial purposes only. Getting there: One of the easiest, and most pleasurable, ways is taking the BTS skytrain to Saphan Taksin station, located atop Sathorn “Central” Pier. From the hotel, take a Chao Phraya River Express boat to Chang Pier, and then it’s a short walk to the Grand Palace’s main entrance.

Day 2 – April 22nd, 2018

Enjoy breakfast (included) at the hotel. At noon, settle and incidental charges and check out. You may store your luggage at the hotel reception desk. Enjoy a few more hours in the city before meeting back at the hotel for your motor coach transfer back to the port of Laem Chabang.

This incredible journey invites guests to reflect on the past as they experience the present opportunities and beauty of today. Begin with a visit to the sobering Tuol Sleng Museum in Phnom Penh, a sobering reminder of the brutal tragedy brought about by the temporary rule of Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge in the 1970s. Regroup in the Russian Market to experience the present resilience and beauty of the local culture. Take in the traditional design of The Royal Palace and Silver Pagoda, built upon the site of the Banteay Kev, a citadel built in 1813. Then, trek into the ancient with a visit to the wondrous Angkor Wat for an unforgettable experience.

Day 2 – April 6, 2026

Enjoy breakfast at your hotel before setting out. This morning visit Tuol Sleng Museum, originally a local high school which was taken over in 1975 by the Khmer Rouge and converted into “Security Prison 21” (S - 21). During the three years of Khmer Rouge brutality the prison became synonymous with terror. Today the prison has reopened as a museum and offers a grim reminder of the excesses of the Khmer Rouge.

After you have had time to absorb the tragic events, a stop is made at the Russian Market. Named thanks to its popularity with visitors from the former USSR in the 1980s, the Russian Market is probably the city's best source of objects d'art and craft items. Lighten your spirits as you browse the various goods on offer, re-assured that despite the country’s dark history, the good people of Cambodia have persevered.

Your guide will lead you around the market and be on hand to explain some of the more curious items for sale, including wooden and stone carvings, various ritual objects, silverware, and old Indochinese notes and coins.

Next, travel thirty minutes outside of Phnom Penh to the somber 'Killing Fields' of the Khmer Rouge and the mass graves that tells the dark story of Cambodia’s disturbing past.

After lunch at a local restaurant, you will visit The Royal Palace. This structure was constructed earlier this century on the site of the Banteay Kev, a citadel built in 1813. Keen-eyed travelers may spot the design is strongly influenced by The Royal Palace in Bangkok.

Together with your guide, venture inside the Palace's Silver Pagoda and its surrounding compound (the only section that is open to visitors). The Silver Pagoda, also known as Wat Preah Keo, was given its name because of over 5,000 silver tiles (weighing 1kg each) that cover the floor.

Continue your exploration of Phnom Penh at the National Museum of Khmer Art and Archaeology, otherwise known as 'Musée des Beaux-Arts' or 'Musée Albert Sarraut'. This museum is considered one of the finest museums of classical Cambodian art.

This evening enjoy dinner at a local restaurant.

DAY 3 – April 7, 2026

After breakfast and checking out, transfer to the Phnom Penh International Airport for a flight to Siem Reap.

On arrival in Siem Reap you will be met and taken to the Angkor Site to collect your temple passes which are required for touring. Once these have been issued, transfer to your hotel for check-in and a light lunch.

After lunch, venture to the Angkor Wat Temple Complex. You will have approximately 2 hours to explore its archaeological treasures with your guide before returning to your hotel.

Your guide will point out the best spots for taking photos of this massive temple complex as you walk amidst the moss-peppered cobbled pathways, gaze up at the intricately carved tower tops and perhaps climb the steep and narrow temple steps that lead to wide courtyards. Lose yourself in contemplation as you catch the rays of the sun dancing off the bas relief carvings at sunset, the chatter of monkeys reverberating off the temple walls.

This evening dinner is on own.

Day 4 – April 8, 2026

After an early breakfast, check out and transfer to the Siem Reap Airport for a flight to Singapore.

Expected Weather:

Hot! The average mid-day temperatures can hover to upper 30s C (85-90 F), especially in inland areas like Siem Reap. It is important to stay hydrated each day.

What to Bring:

On this tour the key words are comfortable and casual. Remember you are visiting a foreign country and local dress codes should be observed.

*Please avoid uncovered shoulders, shorts or revealing clothing.

*Full length trousers or pants and/or skirts covering the knees are required to be worn when visiting Angkor Wat

Although dinners are not formal, you may want to bring something a bit dressier for that time of day.

Bring a hat or a head covering for sun protection and don’t forget your sunscreen, sunglasses and bug spray (you should have mosquito repellent for sunrise and sunset hours). It’s also a good idea to bring along a small packet of tissues or wet wipes. It is also suggested that guests wear flat comfortable walking shoes (not sandals or open toed shoes / flip flops). Guest are requested to take-off their foot wear and hats when visiting religious sites.

Currency:

Guests are encouraged to bring US Dollars with them as they are most commonly accepted in Cambodia. The local currency is the Cambodian Riel. You should take smaller denominations of US Dollars with you, as they will keep you from ending up with a lot of local change that you will not be able to re-exchange back home.

Electricity:

Rooms are equipped with 220-volt, two-pin US style electrical outlets. We recommend travelling with your own adaptor should you have electronic devices.

Water:

Avoid tap water and drinks with ice in them. Drink mineral water and drinks in sealed containers. Water at the hotels in both Phnom Penh and Siem Reap is potable.

2. The certificate should have attached a picture of the equipment with its description/specifications especially with regards to the type of batteries used (lithium/dry or any other type)

3. These documents need to be sent to the Land Program Team via Reservations at RSSC at least one month prior to travel so that our local operator can begin the notification process with the airline(s).

4. Failure to comply with the above regulations may result in a denial of this equipment at the airport for which Regent Seven Seas Cruises nor our local ground operator be responsible for.
