PHNOM PENH: A GRACEFUL WHIRL OF GLITTERING CULTURES
If one visit is a must,
then it has to be the Royal Palace - designed by the French and
Khmer architects in 1866. Its whole structure is based on the
ancient art of Khmer sculpture. An ensemble of prominent monuments
stretching on some 16 acres, it offers visitors a garden dotted with
many palaces and pagodas, a real wonder anyone could never forget.
One of the alluring places to visit is the famous Silver
Pagoda, a sanctuary containing the ashes of the Cambodian Royalties.
It was named as its 5000 silver floor tiles were put together, each
carved with French lily flowers. This temple is a real invitation to
a journey through times, showcasing a huge collection of sacred
items, such as the Buddha statues set with diamonds and ruby besides
other precious stones and metals artworks.
Very close from
these splendors stands the National Museum for Fine Arts and its
relaxing wonderful esplanade. This museum shows masterpieces of
Khmer arts and handicrafts, most of them coming from Angkor temples.
It tells the whole ancient history of Cambodia, from pre-historic to
post-Angkor era (after the 14th century). A climax after all
those discoveries, one cannot leave Phnom Penh without attending an
Apsara dance show, an amazingly graceful classical Khmer art that
used to be shown to Cambodian royal family members only. Nested at
the cultures' confluence too, Phnom Penh will fill you with a whirl
of emotions.
|
CAMBODIA, MUCH MORE TO OFFER THAN ANGKOR TEMPLES
Cambodia is well known for being the home of one of the most extraordinary
human-made structures: the Angkor Wat. Of course a delight to its 3 million
visitors a year, who just planned a short-time visit of this World's Wonder. But
how many of them will seize the opportunity to visit this amazingly
heritage-rich country in a more in depth manner? Actually both the Khmer country
and its people do bear a magic charm that bewitched quite many so far! The
countryside and rain forest competing with the sea sides of sandy beaches and
pristine waters; breathtaking natural landscapes with lively ancient cultures
and deep spiritual roots, without forgetting Phnom Penh, its capital, once known
as the "Pearl of Asia", and considered one of the loveliest of the French-built
cities in Indochina in the 1920s. Cambodia also has recently invested in
developing hotels and infrastructures throughout the country making the visit of
the Kingdom a comfortable and pleasurable experience. I personally encourage
everyone to visit Cambodia in depth and spend more time to discover the true
wonders of the Kingdom.
Edouard George, President of Phoenix

NEW UNESCO CERTIFIED SITE
Mekong Delta's Kien Giang reserve has just received a UNESCO certification.
Occupying more than 1 million acres, it is the largest biosphere in Southeast
Asia. It consists of 3 parts: Phu Quoc National Park (home to important coral
reefs and 529 plant species, of which some are endangered species); U Minh
Thuong National Park (mangrove forest and ecosystem); and Kien Luong coastal
forest (endemic fauna and birds).
HANOI BANS TRAFFIC IN OLD TOWN
Hanoi is celebrating its 1000th Year. Events will be organized in the city
from September to October 2010. During this time, authorities have decided the
temporary closure of some roads in the Old Quarters. This situation should lead
to difficulties in accessing some hotels.
|

VISA ON ARRIVAL IS ATTRACTIVE
After 2 months of implementation, visa on arrival proved to be attractive to
foreign tourists landing at the country's international airports. Between May
1st and June 30th, if 8 visas were issued at Mandalay Airport, which is only
internationally linked with Kunming, China, not less than 4990 visas were issued
at Yangon International Airport. The application process takes just a few
minutes, and a 28-days tourism visa on arrival costs only 30 US$.
|
DOMESTIC AIRLINES TO EXPAND FLEETS
Private airlines announced they will boost their capacity on domestic and
international routes. Air Bagan will purchase two Airbus A-320s for use on
international routes and two ATR 72-500s for domestic operations. Meanwhile Air
Mandalay plans to add two new ATR 72s to expand its domestic services.
|

ENCOURAGING NUMBERS, BUT...
The Lao National Tourism Administration (LNTA) is optimistic that tourist
arrivals this year will reach the target of 2.15 million people, even though the
10% increasing trend was affected by the political unrest in Thailand, as most
visitors to Laos travel through Thailand.
|
BOUN THAT LUANG'S FESTIVAL IN VIENTIANE
Boun That Luang's religious festival, the country's most important national
holiday, will be held in and around Vientiane's That Luang stupa, the national
symbol of Laos. It is a three-day religious festival celebrated at full moon in
November. It begins with pre-dawn gathering of ten thousands of pilgrims from
Laos and Thailand at That Luang who listen to prayers and sermons chanted by
hundreds of monks representing all Lao wats. The festival ends with a huge
fireworks display.
|

LIVING PHOTOGRAPHY IN SIEM REAP
Created in 2005, the completely free of charge Angkor Photo Festival is the
first such event to be organized in South-East Asia. 6th edition will happen
from 20th to 27th November, 2010, welcoming some 60 professionals from Europe to
Asia and showcasing emerging South-East Asian photographers through some 20
exhibitions and outdoor slideshows in different locations in Siem Reap. Besides
showing quality artworks, its strong educational goals set it apart from other
photography events. During their stay, international renowned photographers
tutor will offer free workshops for emerging Asian photographers. Likewise,
young Asian photographers will supervise photo workshops for the underprivileged
Anjali children's project. http://www.photographyforchange.net/

HIGHLIGHTING NORTH-KOREAN HOTEL FACILITIES
North-Korea's visitors might wonder about the hotel facilities that will
welcome them during their stay in this very rarely visited country. All our
programs include night stays in State-run hotels that suit Western standards of
comfort and facilities. Might it be in the huge building of Pyongyang's
Yanggakdo Hotel, with its convenient rooms all equipped with attached bathrooms;
or in the former Koryo Kingdom's capital city Kaesong Folkcustom Hotel, which
features traditional Korean old houses amidst green gardens and
pathways. Likewise, Myohyang's Hyangsan Hotel and Sijung's Hotel have it all
to make a stay as close as possible to nature's wonders. Each with attractive
restaurants and efficient service, your stay in North-Korea will be without a
doubt a pleasant and enjoyable one.

 PHNOM PENH – RAFFLES HOTEL LE ROYAL RARE LUXURY STYLE AND OLD-WORLD
CHARM
First established in 1929 under the guidance of visionary French architect
Ernest Hébrard, Raffles Hotel Le Royal is a hotel with rare attributes of
history and style. If it had in its early days a diverse international clientele
comprising of adventurers, artists and writers, journalists and royalty, it went
through so many historical milestones of the country.
Finally it turned
to be a modern world-class hotel after its careful restoration programme in
1996. Now a leading 5-star hotel with upper-class facilities and amenities, it
still imparts an old-world charm through its style and décor. Since its
renovation it has been endlessly rewarded for its ultimate standards in
facilities, spas, fine food restaurants and wine cellars and quality of service.
Raffles Hotel Le Royal showcases now a unique luxury world and at the same time
it allows experiencing Phnom Penh's historical legacy.

LAST MONTH'S FORGOTTEN POSTCARD ON BOARD L'AMANT
My dearest friends,
I am now laying on the sun-deck of "L'Amant". Far
from the bustling Ho Chi Minh City, Johnny and I are navigating up Mekong
River's majestic course at the soothing speed of our luxurious boutique style
vessel. On the third day of our journey we are now striding along the deck as if
it was our home, with all the care provided by its kindest crew and
staff.

Both of us are dazzled by the changing environment of this trip:
landscapes' beauty which looks sometimes unreal; sleeping-like towns which have
a huge past and heritage; and those floating markets gathering people each early
morning with so many vibrant colors and tastes. Ben Tre, Cai Be, Vinh Long, Sa
Dec. We are just back today from the visit of the House of the Chinese, where
Marguerite Duras experienced so much emotions with her Lover. We are now back on
the boat which was named in his honor and we have a nice thought of Jane, who
performed her role so well on the screen and for you as well my
dears! Tomorrow we will dock at Chau Doc and go through Cambodia. It is still
far from Angkor wonders but we'll be there soon. First, we will discover the
incredible cultural heritage of Phnom Penh's royal town, its countless pagodas,
its serene spirituality and relics of its happy or painful past. Phnom Penh, the
Pearl of Asia… All these glitters in our dreams are no longer far away.
Actually it is now becoming a reality. As close as we are in thoughts of you to
share this graceful leisure time. Brad, who is now at his cooking lesson (!),
would for sure add here his kindest regards.
Your Vanessa

PICTURE OF THE MONTH

From Indochina's era to the dramatic Khmer Rouges' regime
upto to the modern-day Cambodia, this venerable lady has upheld her religious
belief, just like the Khmer people, who have a deep rooted ancestral spiritual
heritage, amidst the wonders of Angkor Wat temple.
|
SPECIAL PHNOM PENH
TOWN'S TOURS GUIDED BY SPECIALISTS OF CAMBODIA
Phnom Penh's deep social and cultural history can be discovered on its own.
However, Phoenix Voyages recommends you to benefit from the insights of
specialized historians and sociologists, who will highlight a wide variety of
historical marks. A new half-day tour, either in "tuk-tuk" or minibus, will lead
you through Chinese and colonial districts, before stopping by Chaktomuk
Conference Hall. One of the Sangkum era's masterworks, built before the Khmer
Rouge regime started and made the town nearly empty of its inhabitants. More
than a mere historical and architectural stroll, an essential analysis of its
political and cultural contexts to understand Phnom Penh today!
|
TUOL SLENG – THE DARK SIDE OF MANKIND
One visiting Phnom Penh and Cambodia nowadays always wonders how these people
can overcome the recent painful history they lived in the late 1970's, when Pol
Pot's Khmer Rouge regime planned genocide for an estimated 1.5 million of
people. Once a nice school called "Hill of the Mango Tree" it was transformed
into a terrifying prison and torture centre known as "S21", during its four
years of atrocity. Some 20'000 people and children were detained there and duly
registered with names and photos before being tortured to death. No one was able
to escape, and during its liberation in 1979, only 7 people were found alive.
Now known as Tuol Sleng, the "Poisonous Hill", this visit is not to be
recommended for children or highly impressionable people, as it shows the
darkest side of human being in Khmer recent history.

Singapore Airlines combined with Lufthansa, or Finnair combined with Qantas are
very competitive - e.g. around $6100 + taxes to Europe.
If you are planning to travel please let your
consultant know so that we can let you know if anything new comes along
that might suit you.

Cathay Pacific
- new seats in economy class - a fixed back & it tapers in above your knee
level so allows a lot of extra leg room - also the seat in front of you is not
going to descend into your dinner! The seat pocket is now behind your
legs, so it is all good for the taller traveller.

Qantas
still have some amazing fares to Los Angeles, San Francisco & New York.
V Australia's business class is still set at
a very reasonable level.



Air New
Zealand, Qantas & Virgin Atlantic
"premium economy" classes are also very popular - that
little extra comfort without the big price tag.
Etihad
&
Abu Dhabi: Abu Dhabi is fast developing as a destination in itself
with a Guggenheim Museum, a Louvre Museum from Paris & there will even be a
Ferrari World - seems like something for everyone. Architecturally it is
going to be exceptional, so perhaps consider Etihad.
Adelaide does not
have a direct flight, but we can use Qantas flights (Etihad codeshare) to
connect via Melbourne.
We have some very good promotional material
for Abu Dhabi in the office & you are very welcome to borrow from our library.

Air
Austral
is flying direct from Sydney to La Reunion (St Denis) & then on to Paris.
For a
slightly different stopover, why not try La Reunion. A good opportunity for
some French language practice too! La Reunion is a department of France (as is
Tahiti & New Caledonia).
Wildlife Safari's have introduced some very
interesting & reasonable packages including La Reunion & Mauritius.
The
A380 aircraft
is
glorious!
Qantas, Singapore Airlines, & Emirates all operate these
aircraft.
Margaret, Kate & Merilyn have all experienced travel on the A380
- we firmly agree that it is a superior product. It is quieter, more
spacious & airy - a very pleasant experience in business & also economy class.
The feedback from clients in the Premium Economy Qantas cabins has been very
positive.

NEW DESTINATIONS for 2012 |
|

Cruising
in the Baltic region is still #1 for most cruise lines, so the fare levels have
remained pretty constant.
However, other cruise destinations are offering great
fares. The Mediterranean & Alaska have some very competitive fares—enjoy a 5*
cruise at very reasonable rates.

The
Dalmatian Coast remains a firm favourite, with Italy & Greece close behind.
The ease
of cruising is the key—unpack once, visit a new destination each day & have
everything included—accommodation, transport, meals. It could not be easier.
River cruising is still popular & there are new ships coming into service on the
rivers all the time. The Russian waterways especially are benefiting from ships
that are a little more luxurious than in the past.
For land
travel, China, Vietnam & Cambodia are still popular, however, we continue to be
mostly involved with Western Europe.
Themed travel is
popular—cooking, bike riding, walking, theatre….. if you have a special
interest & would like us to find some sources for you, please let us know.
One
destination that is more prominent this year is the
Camino de Santiago de Compostela.
There are some wonderful touring options for the Camino (for all or part of the camino). It is interesting that there are so many different routes across the
north of Spain, so many variations are possible.

PASSPORTS and VISAS |
|

Travel to the
United States now requires an online visa to be applied for at least 3
days prior to departure (ESTA).
This must be done by the traveller -
please ask your consultant for directions to the website.
Visas are still required for a few
countries around the world - China, Russia, some South American countries &
more. It is interesting to note that a traveller can transit
China with a stop under 48 hours & it is not necessary to have a visa -
so long as accommodation is confirmed & the traveller has an onward ticket to
show on arrival.

An Australian passport must have at
least 6 months validity for travel via some countries - even an overnight at
Kuala Lumpur will require this.
Before any flight bookings can be made
by Angas Travel, we must see a copy of your passport. With heightened
security issues around the world it has become vitally important that the name
on the ticket is exactly as it is in the passport. One letter wrong & the
whole ticket has to be reissued & fees then apply.
