About Siem Reap, Cambodia
Siem Reap is the hotel base for Angkor, not an embarkation port for The Jahan. Staying here gives travellers time to explore Khmer temple architecture beyond a single excursion from the ship. Check the direction of your departure: the Cambodia hotel stay comes at opposite ends of the two published routes.

About Angkor
Angkor rewards looking closely as well as taking in the scale of the temples. At Angkor Wat, carved galleries tell stories below the towers; at Angkor Thom, the monumental faces of the Bayon give the city a different presence. Siem Reap serves as the land base for this part of the expedition.

About Steung Trang / Embark Ship
Steung Trang links the Cambodian river journey with the overland road to Siem Reap. The Jahan uses this landing for the transfer between the boat and the Angkor hotel stay. When planning luggage and flights, distinguish this river stop from Siem Reap, the gateway for the temple visits.

About Angkor Ban / Prek Bang Kong
Traditional wooden homes and a village temple give Angkor Ban a distinct profile along the Mekong. In Prek Bang Kong, the published visit follows silk through a family workshop. Watching thread become fabric offers a closer view of household craft than the finished pieces displayed in a city market.

About Kampong Tralach / Kampong Leaeng
These Cambodian villages introduce two sides of rural life. The Green School near Kampong Tralach connects education with the farming communities around the rice paddies. In Kampong Leaeng, pottery and palm sugar tell the story through materials instead: clay worked by hand and the harvest from local palms.

About Phnom Penh
In Cambodia’s capital, the Royal Palace and the National Museum introduce the royal and artistic traditions that shaped the city. Tuol Sleng offers a more difficult encounter with the Khmer Rouge period. Allow space for both experiences: the meanings of Phnom Penh’s public buildings extend far beyond their façades.

About Cruising the Mekong
On the passage into Vietnam, the riverbank itself supplies much of the interest. From The Jahan, watch how boats, homes and landing places depend on the water. Expert talks and a cooking session link what travellers see along the Mekong with the ingredients and customs of the region.

About Chau Doc, Vietnam
Fish farming gives Chau Doc’s waterfront its distinctive character. Boats on the Bassac branch of the Mekong pass aquaculture operations before the visit continues into a market filled with delta produce. The contrast between the floating fish farms and the fruit stalls ashore explains why this is such an important trading town.

About Binh Thanh Island / Cai Be
Here the smaller delta canals are best understood at the scale of a sampan. At Cai Be, rice becomes sweets in a local workshop; on Binh Thanh Island, families weave mats from rattan. Together these stops show how river transport connects growers and craftspeople with customers beyond their villages.

About My Tho / Disembark Ship / Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City)
My Tho is where this journey meets the Mekong Delta. The road between the waterfront and Ho Chi Minh City passes Vinh Trang Pagoda, whose courtyards and religious architecture offer a quiet contrast to Saigon. This is a transfer between the riverboat and the city hotel, not a night sailing into Saigon.

About Saigon
Ho Chi Minh City, still widely known as Saigon, provides the urban counterpoint to the Mekong Delta. The Reunification Palace and War Remnants Museum place modern Vietnamese history in context. Water puppetry offers a different way into the city’s culture during the hotel portion of the journey.
