Siam Reap's claim to fame is Angkor Wat. Remember Lara Craft in the Tomb Raider? It is said that to do justice to Angkor Wat, one has to spend at least three days there. According to Lonely Planet, the Temples of Angkor are "must-see - ancient Hindu-Buddhist temples of monumental proportion". While Luang Prabang is "an easy-going capital with French and Buddhist architecture."
The plan I have in mind is to fly from Kuala Lumpur into Luang Prabang. Then fly from there directly to Siam Reap or through Bangkok. From Siam Reap, there are flights back to Kuala Lumpur. This plan will take about five days.
There are also bus services between Luang Prabang to Bangkok via Cambodia's capital Vientiane (about 22 hours) and between Bangkok and Siam Reap (about 10-14 hours). This plan will take maybe two days longer than the flying option.
Another possible plan is to visit only one country at a time. In this case, it'll have to be Cambodia first and Laos second. This plan will probably take between three to five days for Cambodia and a day or two shorter for Laos.
