Highlights & Hidden Gems of Vietnam, Cambodia & Thailand

Hanoi → Bangkok 19 days Up to 10

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.

What you'll do

  • Start in Hanoi and explore the capital's old streets
  • Cruise the limestone karsts of Halong Bay
  • Explore the temples of Angkor Wat
  • Visit the ruined former capital of Ayutthaya
  • Finish in Bangkok
Good to know
  • Partially guided — some days are led, others left free for you to explore
  • Rated easy, so it suits a range of fitness levels and ages
  • Covers three countries in 19 days, so travel days are part of the pace
What travellers actually say

Worth it if you want seamless logistics and knowledgeable local guides across three countries. Think twice if you prefer a slower pace—the itinerary is packed.

  • Local guides consistently described as knowledgeable, warm, and skilled at connecting travellers with real local people and culture.
  • Tour coordinators (Janet, Hung Moon, Hannah) went beyond basics: responsive pre-trip planning, visa problem-solving, flight arrangement help, genuine availability throughout.
  • Itinerary is genuinely busy and packed. One reviewer noted it's 'a very busy schedule' despite being 'well worth it'.
  • Transfers, hotels, and meals all handled smoothly with no logistical issues reported across eight independent reviews.
