Useful Tips

If you have more time in Bangkok, consider a day trip to Ayutthaya. If you have less time in Singapore, skip Sentosa Island and focus on the city sights. In Phnom Penh, the S21 Genocide Museum is an alternative to the Tuol Sleng Museum. Remember to check opening times for attractions and make reservations in advance to avoid waiting in line.
