Upon your arrival in Siem Reap, our team will warmly welcome you and begin your journey with a visit to the Rolous Group, once the capital of King Indravarman I. These early Angkor temples showcase the beginnings of Khmer art and architecture, offering a fascinating glimpse into the empire’s formative years.
Next, we’ll drive to the exquisite Banteay Srei, often called the “Citadel of Women.” This temple is renowned for its pink sandstone and intricate stone carvings, some of the finest in all of Angkor.
Continue to Preah Khan, a vast temple complex built in the 12th century by King Jayavarman VII. This site once served as a center of learning and is filled with impressive carvings, quiet corridors, and towering trees reclaiming the ruins.
After a full day of exploration, return to your hotel and enjoy some well-earned leisure time.

Homma
3 April 2025 ★★★★★We spent a few days in Taipei and Jiufen over the weekend. Unfortunately, the weather in Jiufen wasn’t the best-quite misty and rainy—but we still enjoyed shopping, relaxing at the hot springs, and trying the local street food. The high-speed train ride was very comfortable. Would love to return to Jiufen again one day!

13 March 2025 ★★★★★Stephen from Travel Asia Co.nz was recommended by my friend, and she planned our 6D5N private tour for 8 of us perfectly. Everything was smooth—from hotel check-ins arranged for quick showers before/after the train, to splitting our group for day trips (5 to Ayutthaya, 3 to the floating market). Even our luggage was delivered to the next hotel-amazing service! Chiang Mai was a highlight with stunning views, Doi Suthep, hill tribe visits, and the elephant sanctuary. Our guide Yeow was friendly, caring, and very experienced. In Bangkok and Ayutthaya, we enjoyed a peaceful boat ride and a climb at Wat Phu Khao Thong—big thanks to David for guiding us safely. It was a well-organized, memorable trip. Great job, Wendy and team!

6 February 2025 ★★★★★We booked a very last-minute trip to Thailand for two families with young kids, and Travel Asia Co.nz made it all happen smoothly. Wendy was super responsive - she quickly proposed a flexible itinerary covering everything from transport and meals to tickets and timing. She even checked in with us daily to make sure we were happy. Our guide, Stephen, was an absolute gem-mature, caring, and great with the kids. He spoke excellent English, adjusted plans to fit our needs, and even helped us avoid tourist traps with helpful local tips. The vehicle was brand new, spacious, and very comfy. We truly felt cared for throughout the trip. Thank you, Stephen, Tien, and the team for a wonderful experience. Hope to travel with you again!

Wendy was very helpful and responsive before the trip, and she worked closely with us to meet our needs. With the help of our tour guide, we completed all the planned activities smoothly and were amazed by the beautiful scenery-especially around Phang Nga Bay and the temples in Chiang Mai. We took so many great photos! Our group included seniors in their 70s and 80s, and thanks to the guide’s care and attention, everyone managed the trip comfortably. The food was delicious, and the accommodations were very comfortable too. Big thanks to Travel Asia Co.nz-we had a wonderful time, and we’ll definitely choose them again for our next trip to Thailand!
