After breakfast, travel 15 km outside the city to the Killing Fields of Choeung Ek, where over 17,000 victims lost their lives during the Khmer Rouge regime. This solemn site offers space for reflection and remembrance.
Return to Phnom Penh for lunch, then continue to the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum (S-21) — once a high school turned prison during the 1970s. Hear stories of survival and courage from one of the few living survivors.
Later, wander through the bustling Russian Market (Psar Toul Tom Pong), where colorful stalls overflow with crafts, fabrics, and curiosities. As the day fades, unwind on a sunset cruise along the Mekong River, with a glass of wine in hand and Phnom Penh’s skyline glowing behind you.

Arrive in the late afternoon and check into your hotel.
In the evening, hop on a vintage Vespa for the “Siem Reap After Dark” tour — an exciting culinary and cultural experience operated by Vespa Adventures. Ride through lively streets, local markets, and hidden
food spots, sampling authentic Khmer dishes and meeting locals along the way. It’s the perfect way to discover Siem Reap’s vibrant nightlife, with a mix of flavor, fun, and local insight.

Enter the ancient walled city of Angkor Thom, once the capital of the Khmer Empire. Pass through the South Gate, then marvel at the enigmatic faces of Bayon Temple, with 216 smiling stone towers gazing serenely in every direction. Continue to the Baphuon, the Terrace of the Elephants, and the Terrace of the Leper King, each adorned with intricate carvings.
After lunch, explore Ta Prohm, where fig trees and silk-cotton roots embrace temple walls in a spectacular dance between nature and architecture — famously featured in Tomb Raider.
In the afternoon, return to Angkor Wat for a deeper visit. Walk its galleries of epic bas-reliefs, climb the central tower for sweeping views, and admire its perfect symmetry glowing in the afternoon light.
