In summer 2013, my girlfriend and I spent six week travelling through four countries in South-East Asia. This is how we did it.

Our first adventure was two nights in the hustle and bustle of Bangkok, gateway to South-East Asia:

Next up we jumped on a bus to Koh Chang and escaped civilisation for a piece of paradise:

We entered Cambodia via Koh Kong:

Our next island adventure came at the stunning Koh Rong:

Back on the mainland we stayed at Sihanoukville:

Then we took the road to Siem Reap:

We explored the majestic Temples of Angkor:

Phnom Penh and The Killing Fields was a harrowing but fascinating trip:

The S-21 Prison was if anything harder to bear but a visit everyone should make:

We entered Vietnam, our third country in SE Asia, and visited Saigon and the War Remnants Museum:

Whilst in Saigon we also checked out the Re-Unification Palace and Ben Thanh Market:

Further up the Vietnamese coast we went snorkelling in Nha Trang:

Our next destination was the beautifully quaint Hoi An for a tailored suit, a photo tour and Vietnam Day:

Then it was on to Huế for motorbikes and monasteries:

Fron Hanoi we visited Halong Bay, perhaps the most beautiful place on Earth:

We hopped back to Thailand and Phuket, to decide where to go next:

Koh Phi Phi blew us away with its beauty after the devastation of the 2004 tsunami:

It’s more than a view. I truly believe my great-grandkids on Mars may one day still talk about post-tsunami Phi Phi:

We took a trip to the beach from The Beach:

Over in Krabi, we discovered Thailand’s most beautiful island ain’t even an island:

Patong Beach showed us a part of SE Asia gone wrong:

Our first impressions of Singapore were pretty awesome:

At my first Singapore Grand Prix we made it into a Hong Kong newspaper:

We ended our SE Asia trip in style with a stay at the incredible Marina Bay Sands complete with infinity pool:
