About this trip
Sixteen days across three countries, moving from the streets of Hanoi to the limestone karsts of Halong Bay, then on to Chiang Mai and Bangkok in Thailand, before finishing on Bali.
Expect a mix of culture, food, and scenery rather than one long beach stay. You'll cook in a Chiang Mai village, eat your way through Bangkok, cruise overnight on Halong Bay, and end on Bali's coast.
Accommodation is boutique or well-located 4-star throughout, with the option to upgrade to something more luxurious if you'd rather.
What you'll do
- Overnight cruise on Halong Bay
- Cooking class in an ethnic village near Chiang Mai
- Street food outing through Bangkok
- Time exploring Hanoi's old quarter
- Bali's beaches and cultural sites to close the trip
- Covers three countries in 16 days, so you'll be packing and moving on regularly
- Suits couples, families, or groups keen on culture and food alongside downtime
- Hotel upgrades to luxury are available if you want a more comfortable stay
Worth it if you want maximum highlights across three countries without planning legwork. Think twice if you need luxury hotels, solo socialising, or dislike long travel days.
- Tour operators like Ms Ha provide exceptional daily support and coordination across all logistics.
- Local guides are knowledgeable and passionate; personal drivers with English speakers provided most days.
- Hotels are consistently 3-star basic; expect substandard quality in Thailand and Bali especially.
- It's separate day trips not a cohesive group; solo travellers won't reliably meet other guests.
