Just retirmed from a 20 day tour of SE Asia
And it's great to be back. I visited Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand. We saw the Hanoi Hilton, China Beach, the Chi Cu VC tunnels, and the Hue Citadel. In Cambodia we visited Angkor War. In Thailand I took the River Kwai Tour to the real Bridge on the River Kwai.
There were actually two bridges built there by allied POWs. One was wooden, and the other was concrete and steel. Both were destroyed by allied bombing in June 1945. The steel one was repaired, and is still used today. We saw the Death Railway Museum and the Allied POW Cemetery, and took a boat ride to the bridge. Later we took a ride on the Thailand Burma Railway. It was very cool, and very historic.
I highly recommend it. Everything is very inexpensive. In Seam Reap, Cambodia (my favorite city on the tour), draft beer was 50 cents.
