Smiles of Thailand & Vietnam: A 16-Day Journey

Bangkok → Ho Chi Minh City 16 days Up to 15

About this trip

Sixteen days across Thailand and Vietnam, moving from Bangkok's temples to the hills of Chiang Mai, then on to Halong Bay, Hoi An, Ho Chi Minh City and the Mekong Delta.

It's an easy-paced, partially guided trip, so you'll have guided sightseeing mixed with time to explore on your own, making it a good fit for families or anyone easing into group travel.

Expect a mix of temple visits, mountain scenery, a boat cruise, old town streets and a look at rural life in the Mekong Delta — a broad sweep of two countries rather than a deep dive into one region.

What you'll do

  • Visit Bangkok's temples and palaces
  • Take in the mountain scenery around Chiang Mai
  • Cruise the waters of Halong Bay
  • Wander the old streets of Hoi An
  • Explore Ho Chi Minh City
  • See rural life in the Mekong Delta
Good to know
  • Partially guided — expect a mix of guided activities and free time to explore independently
  • Easy pace, suited to families and first-time group travellers
  • Covers both Thailand and Vietnam in 16 days, so it's a broad overview rather than a slow, deep look at either country
