Thank you, everyone, for the helpful replies!

Thanks!

Thank you, everyone - really appreciate the posts!

In all of the reviews I've read about Smile Tours, Thi has been the only guide I've read about. But, when I emailed asking if she would lead our (small) tour, she said that she only leads large tours. Do any of you have experience with her guides and if so, how were they?

Thanks so much for the tips!

We're going to Cambodia, Vietnam, Singapore, HK and Thailand, and may need to call Canada. Any suggestions you have for cheap phoning options would be greatly appreciated.

John, you're a star - thanks so much for the really helpful information!

Thank you for your feedback - much appreciated!

We're interested in the shore excursion our cruise line is offering that goes from Sihanoukville to Phnom Penh : Toul Sleng Museum, Choueung Ek center and Royal Palace, lunch, but is the 9 hour return bus ride in one day worthwhile?

oops...I meant SEABOURN (not SilverSea)

SEABOURN - Singapore - Bangkok - Ko Kood (Thai), Sihanoukville, Ho Chi Minh, Da Nang (Hue), Halong Bay, Hong Kong

Sorry---just learned about SilverSea option - any thoughts?

SILVERSEA - Singapore - Bangkok - Ko Kood (Thai), Sihanoukville, Ho Chi Minh, Da Nang (Hue), Halong Bay, Hong Kong

A huge thank you for all your help! Which is the best for interesting ports (we're not interested in going to beaches)?

1) REGENT - Bangkok, Ko Samui, Sihanoukville, Ho Chi Minh (2 days), Muara (Brunei), Kota Kinabalu (Malaysia), Boracay Island (Philippines), Manila, Kaohsiung (Taiwan), Taipei, Hong Kong

OR

2) OCEANIA - Singapore, Ko Samui, Bangkok, Sihanoukville, Ho Chi Minh (2 days), Chan May, Ha Long Bay (2 days), Hong Kong

Thank you!!!

Any recommendations for a cruise in Asia? We want to go to Angkor Wat and at least 4 countries on a ship with at least 600 passengers. Regent Seven Seas & Crystal - are they worth it? I've read several poor reviews about Regent Seven Seas - is it that bad? How about a 20-day Oceania Nautica or Insignia cruise? Any help would be much appreciated! Thank you.

Thank you. I'll look into those.

Besides Crystal Cruises, are there any cruise lines offering Big Band theme cruises?

Fantastic. Thanks for the excellent info. Much appreciated.
