About this trip
Thirteen days across Thailand and Vietnam, covering two countries known for their temples, waterways, and long, layered histories. You start in Bangkok and Chiang Mai before heading into Vietnam, travelling the length of the country from north to south.
It's a broad introduction rather than a deep dive into any one place — the idea is to give you a feel for both cultures and how they differ, from Thailand's cities and temples to Vietnam's landscapes and history.
The trip is partially guided, so expect a mix of led activities and time to explore on your own.
What you'll do
- Take in the pace and energy of Bangkok
- Spend time in the calmer, more traditional city of Chiang Mai
- Travel through Vietnam from north to south
- See temples and waterways that reflect the region's long history
- Partially guided — some days are led, others left for you to explore independently
- Covers two countries in 13 days, so it moves at a fair clip
- Can be booked as a custom or small group trip

Worth it if you value seamless logistics, knowledgeable guides and immersive cultural coverage. Think twice if you need downtime—13 days is relentless, and hotel quality varies.
- Guides like Thang and Long proactively communicated daily details and even visited hotels in person.
- Tour handles complex logistics flawlessly: multi-country borders, hotel swaps, document help, 24/7 support.
- Upgraded hotel rooms didn't guarantee quality; some dated or below 4-star standard despite the cost.
- 13 days is intensely packed with sightseeing; consider adding beach relaxation days at the end.
