Hi. My boyfriend and I are planning to visit Thailand and Cambodia in March. The plan is to visit Cambodia and see Angkor Wat, and the rest of the days in Thailand. We would love to spend more time in nature, not in the big cities. We will have maybe 14 to 16 days in total. Do you have any tour that you would recommend? We were thinking about Vietnam also, but then we have realised that would be too much for that period of time? Thank you in advance for your advice!
