Rushed itinerary for SEA starting from Thailand.
Hey guys, would love your input since I have never been to SEA.
So I'll land on the 26th this month in Bangkok, and will head home no later than 21-22nd September from Bangkok as well.
I'm currently researching all I can and figuring out my visas and stuff. This will be my last +3 weeks trip in my foreseeable future so I am trying to use every bit of time I have to explore, especially countries that there are no direct flights to from my country like Cambodia or Vietnam. However I also wouldn't like to rush things or cram in many cities/countries just to say I've been there.
The countries I had in mind are: Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam and Laos. For my nationality I am required a visa for all of them. Thailand, Cambodia and Laos I can get a visa on arrival (with respect to arrival point/border crossing) but for Vietnam I am required a visa from an embassy, not even an e-visa. I read around and it seems like Phnom Penh seems to have the speediest and cheapest option to get a visa from the embassy of Vietnam there. So my initial itinerary would be the following:
-
Bangkok (arrival)
-
Siem Reap
-
Phnom Penh (and Apply for my visa there, would have to be there in a weekday)
-
Ho Chi Minh
-
????
-
Bangkok (departure to home)
Now from here I need your suggestions, do I slowly make my way to reach Hanoi? Any other nice cities along the coast?
For my time, 26ish days, would you suggest that I skip Laos and take a flight from Hanoi to Chiang Mai then head south to catch my plane from Bangkok?
Any other cities that you find interesting that go along with my plan? And how many days you think will be good in each?
I apologize for asking without much research, but I had to spend hours reading about visas and what not, I almost cancelled my trip because of how complicated it initially seemed. And I still have to research more. It seems like it's gonna strict me so I wouldn't be able to go wherever or enter a country from whatever port. It really sucks having a third-world country passport.
Thanks!
