Vietnam, Laos & Cambodia Traveler's Companion Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia are emerging as some of Asia's most intriguing destinations. Right across the cultural spectrum, Indochina offers a rich historical past and amazing cultures - an almost endless list, beginning with the magnificent Hindu and Buddhist monuments of Angkor Wat, the Cham ruins of Vietnam, and the region's earliest Buddhist landmark, Wat Phu in Laos. Smaller but no less attractive are the temples and pagodas that are scattered across the primarily Buddhist countries of Laos and Cambodia. Tribal minority groups inhabit the more remote highland areas in all three countries - minorities whose lifestyles, costumes, and festivals remain almost unchanged from a century ago. Rich, too, in natural beauty; with the magnificent limestone karsts that dot Vietnam's Ha Long Bay, the panoramic mountainous terrain of the Tonkinese Alps in northeastern Vietnam, Laos' southern Mekong Island, Cambodia's remarkable Ton Le Sap Lake, and the barely discovered beaches and islands of the south. Forests and national parks offer a chance to discover nature and a host of unique endemic species. Discovery is only limited by time and your desire to see more. The "Traveler's Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia Companion" offers the best of these three countries, presented by former war correspondent Derek Maitland and travel photojournalist Jill Gocher.
