About this trip
Nineteen days across three countries, starting in Hanoi and finishing in Bangkok, taking in Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand in one loop. Expect a mix of cities, temples and a bit of coastal downtime along the way.
The route runs from Halong Bay's limestone waters through to the temples of Angkor Wat, then on to Ayutthaya's ruins before Bangkok. It's a broad sweep of Southeast Asia rather than a deep dive into any one place.
Pitched as easy-paced and partially guided, with family and group departures, so there's room to explore some spots at your own speed.
