Thailand to Laos: Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Luang Prabang & Hanoi

Bangkok → Hanoi 14 days Up to 25

About this trip

Fourteen days moving through Thailand, Laos and Vietnam, covering a lot of ground with a guide leading the way throughout. You start in Bangkok's chaos, head north to Chiang Mai's hills, cross into Laos for river and lagoon time in Luang Prabang, then finish in Hanoi's old quarter.

It's a fast, varied route rather than a slow soak in one place — a mix of city energy, jungle, and water, with local food and nightlife woven through each stop.

Group travel with an Adventure Leader throughout, so logistics and border crossings are handled for you and you're free to focus on what's in front of you.

What you'll do

  • Tuk-tuk tour through Bangkok
  • Jungle trek around Chiang Mai
  • Swim in Laos' turquoise lagoons
  • Explore the streets and history of Luang Prabang
  • Wander Hanoi's old quarter
Good to know
  • Fast-paced — you cover three countries in two weeks, changing base often
  • Fully guided throughout, good if you'd rather not plan border crossings and transport yourself
  • Rated easy, but the pace means little downtime between stops
What travellers actually say

Worth it if you want seamless SE Asia logistics with quality guides and genuine group connection. Think twice if you're unfit for active days or need pristine accommodation.

  • Guides genuinely knowledgeable, fluent English, and responsive to spontaneous requests from travellers.
  • Group leader Mai exemplified the trip's strength: guides who actually care about your wellbeing and experience.
  • Biking described as easy is false; physical fitness matters more than marketing suggests.
  • US dollars for Laos border must be pristine, new, unmarked notes or border won't accept them.
