DAYS NINE TO 12: ANGKOR WAT, CAMBODIA

IF YOU can no longer abide the person sitting next to you (including, presumably, your other half), this is when everyone has the chance to change seat as part of some sort of aviation musical chairs.

You get three nights in Siem Reap, near Angkor Wat, the largest religious monument in the world (left), built in the 12th century. After the seven-and-a-half hour flight from Cairns, the Raffles Grand Hotel should help iron out any stiffness.

Your group will be treated to a private gala dinner in one of the temples after the hordes have departed, plus a performance of a classical Apsara dance.
