    Bangkok & Beyond

    Start your journey in Bangkok with two full days to adjust to the time zone. Visit Wat Pho and Wat Arun before 8:30 AM to avoid crowds. You can explore Khao San Road at night. Book afternoon longtail boat trips through the back canals since morning traffic can slow transfers. One traveler notes: "The traditional Thai massage included in the tour was perfect timing after temple-hopping. Ask for 'gentle pressure' if you're not used to Thai massage intensity."

    
  • Days 4-9

    Thai Islands

    Travel south to Khao Sok National Park where you can stay in floating bungalows on the emerald lake. Next up are Koh Phangan and Koh Tao for beaches and snorkeling. The ferry between islands takes about 2 hours. Sit on the upper deck for better views and less seasickness. Book Koh Tao snorkeling trips in the morning when visibility is best at spots like Nang Yuan Island.

    
  • Days 10-13

    Southern Thailand

    Visit the Phi Phi Islands and Phuket. Take morning ferries to avoid rough afternoon seas. Book accommodation near Maya Bay for classic beach views but expect crowds. As one traveler points out: "The best photos at Maya Bay are actually from the viewpoint above, not the beach itself. Hike up early before the midday heat kicks in."

    
  • Days 14-24

    Cambodia Experience

    Fly to Siem Reap to see Angkor Wat. Get there by 5 AM for prime sunrise spots. Take a 6-hour express bus to Phnom Penh to visit the Killing Fields and S21 Prison.

    Vietnam Journey

    Begin in Ho Chi Minh City to see the Cu Chi Tunnels and War Museum. Fly to Hoi An for its lantern-lit streets and tailoring. A visitor advises: "Book your tailor visits on day one in Hoi An—quality pieces need at least 2-3 fittings over several days." Travel north on the scenic Hai Van Pass to Hue. Take an overnight train to Ninh Binh to see limestone karsts. Finish with an overnight Halong Bay cruise before exploring Hanoi's Old Quarter.
