YouTube Video Description

Join us for our journey through Cambodia and Vietnam with Avalon Waterways! We created a daily vlog of our adventures so that you could experience this mysterious and magical part of the world with us. Day 6 begins with a visit to Wat Hanchey, a temple complex outside of Kampong Cham, where we receive a water blessing from local monks. After walking the grounds of Wat Hanchey and taking in the lovely views of the Mekong river, we hop back on the ship and head to Angkor Ban where we enjoy a walking tour and a visit to a local school!
