...palm-fringed canals. The Oberoi Vrinda, however, does it better than most. With just eight cabins and wonderful cuisine (you won't get enough of the spicy prawn curry), this is a marvelous way to catch glimpses of Indian life-from women washing clothes on the banks to fishermen selling their catch from boats. Some shore-based sight-seeing is included, while cultural programs and traditional dances enliven the evenings. The standard four-day cruise costs $2,000. Visit www.oberoivrinda.com...
...rarely able to adjust to the rigors of the wild. Efforts to reintroduce orangutans into Indonesia's fast-disappearing forests have met with scant success, for example.

...Actually, the one thing we all have in common is our style," says Ken Salazar. The new Rocky Mountain Democrats are populist, unpretentious, egalitarian and tough.

...Although modest in size, Knai Bang Chatt provides all the activities of a much larger resort. Among these are excursions to islands lying close off shore, boat trips with local fishermen or tours of nearby Bokor National Park. Yoga classes, meditation sessions and Khmer massage are available. There's also an expansive sea-facing infinity pool. The French cuisine (with a Khmer touch) uses fresh local seafood and produce and is superb. Menus are drawn up in consultation with guests, and meals are served on terraces or in the open-air dining pavilion. The communal areas at Knai Bang Chatt...
