About this trip
This 16-day route takes you through Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand, covering a lot of ground from northern cities to southern beaches. You start in Hanoi before heading out to Halong Bay for an overnight cruise, then move down the coast to Hoi An and on to Ho Chi Minh City.
From Vietnam you cross into Cambodia to see Siem Reap and the temples of the former Khmer capital, before finishing with a beach stretch on Thailand's largest island.
It's a broad, multi-country itinerary suited to travellers who want a proper overview of the region in one go rather than lingering in a single place.
What you'll do
- Explore Hanoi's old quarter and French colonial streets
- Overnight cruise through Halong Bay
- Wander the old town in Hoi An
- Time in Ho Chi Minh City
- Visit the Angkor temples near Siem Reap
- Beach days on Thailand's largest island
- Covers three countries in 16 days, so expect a fair amount of moving on
- Partially guided, with a mix of led activities and time on your own
Worth it if you value seamless logistics, attentive local guides and cultural immersion over Thailand beach time. Think twice if you need extensive relaxation—the itinerary is packed until Phuket.
- Staff like Thang, Rosie and Chris were exceptional—proactive, available and genuinely solved problems mid-trip.
- Pacing worked: Vietnam and Cambodia explored deeply; finishing in Phuket allowed proper decompression after cultural intensity.
- Guides had real depth—Peng in Cambodia particularly strong—making sites feel authentic rather than rushed checkbox tours.
- Itinerary is genuinely packed until the final Phuket stretch; not ideal if you dislike early starts or prefer slower travel.
