Thailand - Cambodia - Vietnam 3-week Detailed Itinerary

Vietnam (10 days)

Located on the Indochina peninsula in Southeast Asia, Vietnam is renowned worldwide for its colorful culture, scenic landscapes, and fascinating history. A stay in this country is a wonderful odyssey that transitions seamlessly from the city's pulse to the countryside's soul.

Day 1 & 2: Hanoi

As the first destination in the 3 week itinerary Thailand Cambodia Vietnam, Hanoi offers a captivating blend of the old and the new, history and tradition. Let's embark on a two-day adventure to discover the heart and soul of this enchanting place.

One of the best ways to explore the Old Quarter is by riding a classic cyclo

The first day is often busy with transfers, which can be tiring. After checking in at your hotel in Hanoi, usually around 14:00, you might want to take it easy with a relaxed stroll through the Old Quarter. Or, hop on a cyclo for a nostalgic ride through the narrow streets, lined with centuries-old houses and traditional shops. Soak in the lively atmosphere as you explore local markets and satisfy your hunger with some delicious street food.

In the evening, do not forget to watch a traditional water puppet show, a unique art form that has captivated audiences year after year. For dinner, it is a good idea to savor an authentic taste of Hanoi with a bowl of bun cha, a delicious combination of grilled pork, noodles, and fresh herbs, or take a sip of egg coffee, a creamy concoction that is a must-try for any foreigner. If you are feeling adventurous, why not join a cooking class and learn how to create your own Vietnamese dishes?

Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum is a special place where people honor the great leader of Vietnam

Start your second day with a visit to the first university in the country, the Temple of Literature. Then, you head over to the One Pillar Pagoda. As its name suggests, it is a unique structure built on a single pillar.

End your morning at the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, where you can see the remains of the nation's beloved leader. However, it should be noted that this is not a typical tourist spot but a significant historical landmark. To show proper reverence, you must adhere to a conservative dress code, excluding shorts, sleeveless tops, and miniskirts. Additionally, due to heightened security measures, all bags and cameras must be checked at the entrance.

Moving on to the afternoon, visit the serene Tran Quoc Pagoda on the shores of West Lake. As the sun begins to set, you are free to find a cozy location at one of the many lakeside cafes for great views. Some well-known options include:

• Santorini Vibes Cafe: 181 Nhat Chieu, Nhat Tan
• Uptown Terrace: 11 Nguyen Dinh Thi, Thuy Khue
• Hanoi Roastery Coffee: 149 Nguyen Dinh Thi, Thuy Khue

Prices vary depending on your order, but expect to pay from US $1.99 for a drink.

Must-try food

The trip to Hanoi cannot be complete without trying bun cha. For the most authentic experience, go to Bun Cha Huong Lien, a local favorite (around US $2.39 per person). If you have a sweet tooth, do not miss the chance to try egg coffee at Giang Cafe, the original creator of this unique beverage (around US $1.19 per person).

Day 3 & 4: Halong Bay

With its more than 1,600 limestone islands and islets, Ha Long Bay is a vast and idyllic natural wonder in northern Vietnam. Covering an area of more than 1,500 square kilometers, this bay has been honored with UNESCO World Heritage status. One of the ideal ways to experience its beauty is by going on an overnight cruise.

Explore the stunning beauty of Ha Long Bay

Now, imagine waking up to the mesmerizing view of towering limestone karsts and emerald-clear water. Throughout your journey, you also have the chance to participate in a variety of wholesome activities. They are as follows:

• Squid fishing and Tai Chi: Cast your line and try your luck at squid fishing. Afterward, join Taichi exercises on the sundeck and find your inner peace.
• Cave exploration: Venture into the mysterious world of Surprising Cave or Trung Trang Cave and marvel at the intricate rock formations and stalactites.
• Kayaking: Paddle through calm waters and discover the hidden lagoons and grottoes of Halong Bay at your own pace.

What to note: To make the most of your journey, you should consider these tips:

• Duration: If you are in no rush, opt for a 3-night, 2-day cruise instead of a 2-night, 1-day cruise. This gives you more time to explore the bay and relax on board.
• Cruise quality: Choose a 4 or 5-star cruise if you want a more comfortable and luxurious experience. These cruises often come with better amenities, larger cabins, and a higher level of service.
• Transfers: Transfers are usually arranged by cruise lines or travel agencies and cost between US $20 - 40. However, it is highly recommended to book a cruise package that includes hotel transfers. This way, you will save time and avoid hassle, as you will be picked up directly from your hotel and taken straight to the cruise departure point.

Must-try food

While being there, be sure to try some of the local seafood specialties. Popular ones like Oyster, Cha Muc (Grilled Chopped Squid), and Bun Be Be (Noodle with mantis shrimp)

Day 5 & 6: Hoi An

Recognized as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, Hoi An is a charming 'yellow town' that was once a flourishing commercial port. With well-preserved architecture, Hoi An offers a glimpse into the country's rich history and cultural diversity, influenced by Chinese, Japanese, and European traders.

As for the first day in Hoi An, you can start by wandering across the Old Town. There are several ticket booths set up around for travelers to buy tickets. With an entry fee of VND 120,000/ pax (US $6), you are able to gain access to numerous historical sites and landmarks.

It would be a pity not to visit the Japanese Covered Bridge built over the Thu Bon River, which was originally constructed in the 1590s by the Japanese with the aim of connecting it with Chinese quarters. In the same area as the Old Town, it is right within it. You can easily stroll over in a few minutes. Fujian Assembly Hall is another must-see nearby, showcasing beautiful wood carvings and old-style Chinese buildings.

Right then, it is best to take a moment to stroll the streets and unwind. If you are an art buff, you may see yourself feasting eyes on a number of shops selling handcrafted souvenirs.

As your walking draws to a close, treat yourself to a refreshing Mot drink at a small tea shop called Quan Mot on 150 Tran Phu Street. It is a bit further out but still walkable. It will take you around 15 - 20 minutes to commute from Fujian Assembly Hall. Notably, a cup only costs approximately US $0.5, which is incredibly cheap for a detox drink. According to our customers' feedback, they all felt amazed by its special flavor, which can hardly be described in words.

Mot is a popular herbal drink in Hoi An

For people who prefer a faster pace, renting a bicycle is an excellent option. The town is relatively flat, so it is not a challenging task to navigate on two wheels. Cycling allows you to cover more ground in less time and to reach hidden corners that might be difficult to access on foot.

Look for shops with bikes out front near the main tourist areas. The cost often ranges from around US $2 - 4, depending on the type of bike. It is advisable to rent from reputable stores to ensure you get a bicycle in good condition.

On your last day in Hoi An, you can think about booking a guided tour to experience the ancient town from a different perspective. Here are a few popular options:

Must-try food

Make sure you sample cao lau, a unique noodle dish with yellow noodles, crispy pork, and fresh herbs. Mi Quang is another popular choice, featuring wide rice noodles, grilled pork, and a flavorful broth. And do not forget to try banh canh, a type of rice noodle soup with fish cakes and shrimp.

Day 7 & 8: Ho Chi Minh City

Named after the revolutionary former Vietnamese leader and president, Ho Chi Minh City is the vibrant heart of the country’s south. As the economic powerhouse and cultural hub, it is a dynamic city that never sleeps. Yet, amidst the modern skyscrapers and crowded streets, you will find ancient traditions and a long history waiting to be discovered.

Ho Chi Minh City is a major modern hub of Vietnam

After a flight to Ho Chi Minh City, you can first allocate time to broaden your mind about colonial-era architecture in the Central Post Office and Notre Dame Cathedral. Both are architectural marvels created from the blueprints of Gustave Eiffel. Then, continue your trip to the Reunification Palace. This was the presidential palace where the Vietnam War officially came to an end.

If you want to gain a deeper understanding of that, the War Remnants Museum would be an ideal place. It is currently housing exhibits documenting the conflict. The last stop for the day is Ben Thanh Market, where you can find many different kinds of local products, from fresh produce to souvenirs.

All these places are near each other, and you can conveniently walk between them. The total walking distance is about 2 miles (3 km), so it should take you about an hour to walk to all of the sites. However, you will probably want to spend some time at each site, so you should plan on spending at least half a day on this tour.

If you are not up for walking, you can also take a taxi or bus between the sites. However, we think the best way to experience the city is on foot.

Ben Thanh Market embodies the vibrant energy of Saigon

On the next day, it is good fun to dedicate the morning to the Cu Chi Tunnels, an extensive underground tunnel system used by the Vietnam Army during the Vietnam War. This network equips tourists with a good insight into the ingenuity and resilience of the Vietnamese people.

Cu Chi Tunnels help visitors understand better the Vietnam War

After midday, you have two options to choose from:

• First, you make a move to Nguyen Hue and Bui Vien Walking Streets, two of the most popular nightlife districts. Here, you can fill yourself up with tasty street food and feel the dynamic atmosphere coming up strong.
• Second, you get on a relaxing dinner cruise on the Saigon River and admire the city skyline illuminated at night. This is a great way to recharge and enjoy a delicious meal while taking in the sights.

Day 9 & 10: Mekong Delta

The Mekong Delta, a vast network of rivers, canals, and rice paddies, is often referred to as the "Rice Bowl" of Vietnam. This fertile region is also noted for traditional arts, such as Don Ca Tai Tu (a form of folk music) and Cai Luong (Vietnamese opera).

A local coconut candy factory in Cai Be is a great place to start your day. Here, you can get to know the traditional process of making this sweet treat and grab a bite. Afterward, it is time to ride on a trailer that is slow enough to see the sights and take lots of photos before hopping aboard a sampan for a boat trip along the canals. As you glide across the waterways, you will be surrounded by lush vegetation and have the opportunity to visit local fruit orchards.

The biggest and most impressive floating market in the Mekong Delta is Cai Rang

The next morning, you wake up early to depart for the Cai Rang floating market. Arriving around dawn, you will witness the market in full swing, with crowds of people and boats teeming with activities. It is a spectacular sight to behold.

When exploring the market, it should come as a surprise for first-time visitors to see a floating shop that produces and sells rice noodles. On top of that, do not miss indulging in the taste of fresh tropical fruits before returning to the hotel to prepare for your onward journey to Chau Doc Province.

Alternative option

On the other hand, for a more relaxed pace, consider a Mekong Delta cruise. Several reputable cruise lines offer a variety of itineraries, including Song Xanh Sampan, Mekong Eyes Classic, and Bassac Cruise. These typically provide high-quality wooden boats with excellent service, making them ideal for couples and families.

Must-try food:

Floating on the water, you can sample countless yummy local dishes, namely banh xeo (savory, crispy pancakes), hu tieu (rice noodle soup), and banh bo thot not (steamed coconut rice cake). These delicacies are best enjoyed fresh from the boats that line the river.

Cambodia (5 days)

Cambodia, a land of plains and rivers, lies at the heart of the Indochinese Peninsula. Historically, it has been a crucial link between China, India, and Indochina. The country shares its eastern and southeastern borders with Vietnam, making travel between the two exceptionally convenient. Numerous transportation options are available, including air, bus, car, and boat.

Day 11 & 12: Phnom Penh

Phnom Penh, once hailed as the "Pearl of Asia," is the capital and largest city in Cambodia. It stands as a dynamic hub for economy, commerce, culture, and tourism.

After a 5-6 hour speedboat ride from Chau Doc, Vietnam, you will arrive in Phnom Penh, ready to explore its renowned attractions. Your first stop is the Victory Monument, a symbol of Cambodia's independence. Then, if you want to absorb as much of the art and history as possible, you should not waste a moment at the National Museum. No one can resist getting lost in the graceful terracotta structure and inviting courtyard, which creates a serene ambiance.

One thing you would love to do then is to visit the Royal Palace, which is a short walk from the museum. Built in 1866, it has served as the royal family's residence and a stage for grand ceremonies and diplomatic events. Adjacent to the palace lies the Silver Pagoda, a dazzling religious complex adorned with gold, silver, and diamonds. To cap off your day, tuck into a delightful Khmer dinner accompanied by a mesmerizing Apsara dance performance.

Royal Palace has impressed visitors with its graceful Khmer roofs and ornate gilding

Day two promises a refreshing shift in activities. Begin with a serene escape to Koh Dach, a tranquil island accessible by boat from Sisowath Quay. Explore peaceful villages where time seems to stand still and witness local artisans crafting exquisite handicrafts.

After lunch amidst lush greenery, return to the bustling metropolis and experience the buzz of Sisowath Quay. This district has a plethora of dining options, from traditional Khmer eateries to international cuisine. With the fading of daylight, nothing is better than enjoying a drink at a rooftop bar, taking in panoramic views of the city skyline.

Day 13, 14 & 15: Siem Reap 

In northwestern Cambodia, Siem Reap is the most visited province. As the former capital of the powerful Khmer Empire, it is home to a multitude of ancient temples.

On the first day here, set off on an adventure at the South Gate of Angkor Thom, where colossal, enigmatic faces carved into stone stand as a captivating introduction. Continue to Bayon Temple, a 12th-century marvel erected by King Jayavarman VII.

Additionally, it would be so good to venture into the heart of the jungle at Ta Prohm, about 5 - 10 minutes away from the temple by tuk-tuk. Here, nature reigns supreme as towering fig trees and tenacious creepers intertwine with the ancient stones, creating a spectacle of harmony between man and nature.

At the end of the day, witnessing the awe-inspiring Angkor Wat, the largest and most complete temple complex, is nothing but the best. You might feel awesome wandering through labyrinthine galleries adorned with intricate carvings and reflecting pools that mirror majestic spires.

Angkor Wat looks beautiful with the bright sunset shining on it

If you are eager to carry on exploring old temples, the upcoming day offers a captivating itinerary. Start your journey at Banteay Srei, known for intricate carvings and delicate pink sandstone. Next, access East Mebon, a pyramid temple perched on an artificial island. Keep going to Ta Som, where ancient trees intertwine with ruins, presenting a hauntingly beautiful scene. Finally, round off your day at Preah Khan, a sprawling temple complex with expansive courtyards and towering towers.

Thailand (5 days)

Thailand, often called "The Land of Smiles," possesses undeniable allure, with stunning beaches, picturesque mountains, and majestic elephants drawing visitors from across the globe. Moving from Cambodia to Thailand is incredibly easy and convenient, with a plethora of transportation modes available.

Day 16 & 17: Chiang Mai

Nestled in the northern region of Thailand and surrounded by lush evergreen mountains, Chiang Mai offers visitors a serene escape for a truly relaxing vacation. The city has earned a reputation as a tourist haven due to its diverse range of travel styles.

Your first arrival to Chiang Mai is a cultural immersion since you explore the most revered temples in the city. Start at Wat Chedi Luang, where you will be awestruck by the grandeur of towering chedi. Next, it is off to Wat Phra Singh, where you pay homage to the revered Phra Singh Buddha image. When roaming Wat Chiang Man, the oldest temple, you will encounter ancient Buddha statues that have been around for centuries.

The best part is that these three locations are all within easy walking distance of each other, making it effortless to explore them at your own pace. Eventually, you might want to find solace at Wat Suan Dok, a serene monastery enveloped in lush gardens.

Wat Chiang Man is the very first temple built in Chiang Mai

On the second day, prepare to be amazed by the beauty of Chiang Rai. Your first destination is the ethereal Wat Rong Khun, a contemporary white temple that will leave you speechless. Later, it is worth delving into the history of the Golden Triangle, a region where Thailand, Laos, and Myanmar meet. Last, if you want to learn about the history of opium trading in Southeast Asia while enjoying breathtaking views of the Mekong River, a great option is to visit the Opium House.

Day 18, 19, & 20: Bangkok

As the 3 week itinerary Thailand Cambodia Vietnam almost finishes, you will stay in Bangkok. As the capital of Thailand and one of Southeast Asia's largest cities. Bangkok offers a vibrant atmosphere, iconic landmarks, towering skyscrapers, ancient temples, and royal palaces. Every corner of Bangkok holds something captivating, providing endless opportunities for dazzling photos and unforgettable vacation memories.

The first day in Bangkok brings a journey through time. Start the morning trip at Wat Pho, the oldest temple in Bangkok, and marvel at the colossal reclining Buddha. Later, you can step into the opulent world of the Grand Palace, a stunning complex that served as the royal residence.

Then, admire the exquisite beauty of the Temple of the Emerald Buddha. This is a sacred site that holds immense religious significance. In the afternoon, you are welcome to hop on a boat ride along the Chao Phraya River. As evening descends, it is a good bet to enjoy a romantic dinner cruise and be mesmerized by twinkling lights.

Wat Pho is an iconic cultural and spiritual landmark in Thailand
