A Grand Southeast Asia Escape in 18 Days (Thailand,Vietnam,Bali)

Bangkok → Bali 18 days Up to 15

About this trip

Eighteen days across three very different countries, moving from Vietnam's history and buzz through Thailand's temples and markets to Bali's beaches. It covers a lot of ground, so expect a mix of city time, cultural sites and proper downtime by the end.

You'll go from the Cu Chi tunnels and Halong Bay in Vietnam to Bangkok's markets and temples in Thailand, before finishing on Bali's coast to unwind.

This is a broad introduction to Southeast Asia rather than a deep dive into any one place — good if you want variety and haven't been to the region before.

What you'll do

  • Explore the underground tunnels of Cu Chi
  • Cruise the waters of Halong Bay
  • Visit Bangkok's floating markets
  • Take in Thailand's temples
  • Relax on Bali's beaches
Good to know
  • Covers three countries in 18 days, so travel time between destinations is part of the trip
  • Suits families and those wanting a flexible pace with room for customisation
  • Runs over Christmas and New Year for travellers wanting to spend the holidays abroad
What travellers actually say

Worth it if you value personalized itineraries and responsive local guides. Think twice if you need a set pace—this trip flexes constantly to suit guests.

  • Guides consistently praised for knowledge, English fluency, and going beyond standard tour scripts with personal stories.
  • Organizers (Thang, Long, Lucy) handle changes mid-trip gracefully; one guest changed itinerary several times without friction.
  • Phu Quoc beach time is genuinely restorative, but multiple guests wished they'd stayed longer there.
  • Trip relies heavily on Vietnam Airlines; one guest faced an 8-hour flight delay requiring full itinerary rescheduling.
