Tuesday, 28 September 2010 1:55 PM

Whilst the cheapest way to explore South East Asia is all alone, wandering wherever you choose, a guided tour can give you a great insight into the culture and history of the region. Goway tours are offering a three-day trip covering the three major Khmer temples of Angkor Wat for just $369 (£226) including accommodation.

The temples of Angkor, built from 802 – 1218AD when the Khmer civilization was at its height, represent one of Cambodia’s most enduring architectural achievements. From the citadel of Angkor, the kings of the Khmer empire ruled over a domain that stretched from what is now southern Vietnam to Yunan, China and from Vietnam westward to the Bay of Bengal.

The deal includes air-conditioned travel between the temples of Angkor Tom, Ta Promh and Preah Khan, as well as first-class hotel accommodation in nearby Siem Reap and two meals per day.
