About this trip
This 18-day route runs from Ho Chi Minh City to Phuket, covering Vietnam's cities and countryside before finishing on Thailand's beaches. It's a broad sweep — war history, river life, old towns, temples, and coastline all feature.
You move through the Mekong Delta by boat, wander Hoi An's old streets, take in Hanoi's landmarks, and sleep aboard a cruise in Halong Bay. Thailand brings Bangkok's temples, a Chiang Mai elephant care visit, and beach time in Phuket.
It suits travellers who want a lot covered in one go rather than a slow pace in any single place.
What you'll do
- Explore the Cu Chi Tunnels and Ho Chi Minh City's history
- Cruise the Mekong Delta and visit a floating market and coconut candy factory

- Overnight cruise in Halong Bay
- Visit Bangkok's Grand Palace and Wat Phra Kaew, then elephant care in Chiang Mai and beach time in Phuket
- Covers Vietnam and Thailand in 18 days, so most stops are short before moving on
- Mix of city touring, boat trips, and beach downtime — good for those who want variety over depth
