And, of course, who could ever forget the family of 5 on one motorbike – or the motorbike carrying a refrigerator for delivery! A great introduction on our first trip to Southeast Asia. We were terrifically impressed with Smithsonian Journeys. We also did the extension to Angkor Wat and Phnom Penh — with an equally gifted in-country tour guide.
