Indochina Itinerary – Thailand, Cambodia & Vietnam Tour
![travel vietnam indochina Indochina Itinerary – Thailand, Cambodia & Vietnam Tour](https://static1.detourista.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Indochina-Itinerary-Featured-Image-3x2-1200x628.jpg)
The Indochina trail is South East Asia’s most infamous travel route. A popular itinerary crosses 3 countries, namely Thailand, Cambodia & Vietnam. It often extends to Malaysia, Laos, Myanmar, and Singapore.
This trip is very exciting, especially among travelers embarking on their first multi-country journey in the region. I highly recommend it because you’ll be able to see many awe-inspiring sights including the Grand Palace & temples in Thailand, majestic Angkor temples in Cambodia & energetic urban scene in Vietnam. Of course, all the while enjoying the different cultures and cuisines along the way.
I’ve followed the Indochina trail and have been to these Southeast Asian countries separately many times. Because of its popularity, the trip is very doable even with little planning.
How to spend 7 days in Indochina? Check out my recommended Indochina itinerary below. The sample itinerary is easy to follow or customize in case you plan to go for 5 days, 2 weeks (14 days) or more. Scroll down to see the detailed do-it-yourself (DIY) itinerary blog, followed by a budget/expenses breakdown and lots of extra travel tips.

Bangkok can get quite hot during midday hours. Here are some suggestions on places you can go in Bangkok. Choose one that suits the kind of places you want to see: (1) Jim Thompson House, (2) Bangkok mall or (3) Wat Saket (Golden Mount temple), Giant Swing & Wat Suthat.
Jim Thompson House — For culture lovers. Houses the impressive art collection of Jim Thompson, an American expat famous for revitalizing the Thai silk industry in the 1950s and 1960s. The site also features traditional Thai-style houses surrounded by cool greeneries.
Bangkok mall — You’d want to go here not only for shopping & air-conditioning, most shopping malls in the city also have large food courts that serve a variety of affordable Thai food. Top picks include Siam Paragon, Central World & Platinum Mall.
Wat Saket (Golden Mount temple), Giant Swing & Wat Suthat — If the heat is bearable and you want to maximize your sightseeing in Bangkok, these are excellent places to explore near the Grand Palace and Khao San Road.
0130 pm: Start Grand Palace and Bangkok temples tour
![travel vietnam indochina Bangkok Grand Palace](https://static1.detourista.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/014-Bangkok-Grand-Palace-Bangkok-Bangkok-Thailand-100421-130454.jpg)

Day 2: Beyond Bangkok
0830 am: ayutthaya day tour.
The Ayutthaya Historical Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site filled with ancient temple ruins & famous Buddha statues. It’s one of my favorite places to visit near Bangkok!
Travel time between Bangkok and Ayutthaya is around 1h30m to 2 hours. You can choose to go on a (1) DIY trip to Ayutthaya or (2) join a day tour from Bangkok. Both are excellent options. The better choice depends on whether you prefer to explore Ayutthaya on your own or going with a guided experience with hassle-free transport included.
Ayutthaya day tour packages from Bangkok
Click below and choose a join-in tour inclusive of air-conditioned transport, professional guide & temple entrance fees.
0830 am: Floating Markets day tour
This is the most popular day tour from Bangkok! Visit the floating markets if you want to see a more varied mix of scenery, aside from temples and city sights.
If you are traveling in a group, I recommend that you hire your own transport so that you can maximize your sightseeing. Or, go with a join-in tour with hassle-free transport from Bangkok included.
Floating Markets day tour packages from Bangkok
Book a full day tour if you want to visit more sites in addition to the famous Damnoen Saduak Floating Market. The half-day tour is an good option if you prefer a shorter day trip and want to prioritize more time in Bangkok.
0930 pm: Bangkok at night

LEG 2: CAMBODIA
Day 3: thailand to cambodia, 0800 am: bangkok to siem reap bus.
The land journey from Bangkok to Siem Reap spans a bit over 400 kilometers. Travel time by bus is around 9 hours. It’ll eat up the better part of your day. To avoid time lost changing buses & potential scams at the book direct transfers that include the border crossing, with a reputable company.
Reputable bus companies include Giant Ibis, which offers pickup in Khao San Road, and Transport Co. (Nattakan), which departs from the Morchit (Mochit) / Northern Thailand Bus Station. You also have the option of booking from your hotel/hostel if you want to enjoy pickup directly from there. Or, book online to avoid fully-booked buses and guarantee a seat in your preferred bus schedule.
Bangkok to Siem Reap bus tickets
The bus fare is around USD 23-31 per person per way. Click below to see current prices, bus schedules & online booking.
See discounts Compare fares
It’s important to arrive at the pickup point 30 minutes to 1 hour before departure time. Carefully check the schedule, pick-up and drop-off areas.
Also, always remember that Pinoys enjoy Visa-free travel in Cambodia. Do not believe anyone who says that you have to pay to cross the border.
0500 pm: Siem Reap arrival & hotel check-in
Stay in Siem Reap central area, near Pub Street, at Siem Reap riverside or Charles De Gaulle boulevard.
0600 pm: Siem Reap at night
Siem Reap isn’t just a gateway to Angkor, it has its own exciting attractions too. Scroll down for top things to do in Siem Reap at night.
![travel vietnam indochina Siem Reap Pub Street](https://static1.detourista.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/011-Siem-Reap-Pub-Street-Siem-Reap-Siem-Reap-Cambodia-100413-195256.jpg)
Experience the cosmopolitan nightlife along Siem Reap’s infamous backpacker district.
Siem Reap night markets

Siem Reap shows
![travel vietnam indochina Apsara Dancers](https://static1.detourista.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/012-Apsara-Dancers-Siem-Reap-Siem-Reap-Cambodia-100416-223624.jpg)
Enjoy a traditional Khmer Apsara dance, usually packaged with a filling dinner buffet, or one of the many show performances in Siem Reap.
Indulge in a relaxing spa/massage
Day 4: siem reap + angkor temples, 0500 am: start angkor temples tour.
The long land travel will be all worth it after you get to see Angkor Wat and other temple ruins in the Ancient City of Angkor. With a 1-day tour from Siem Reap, you can already see most of the major temples. Greet the sunrise at Angkor Wat and spend the whole day exploring other must-see sights in the ancient city including Ta Phrom, the “tomb raider” temple, Bayon and sunset on the top of Phnom Bakheng.
On a short visit, I recommend that you follow the standard “Little Circuit” route. It’s the most popular tour that includes the most impressive temples.
Angkor Wat entrance fee
One Day admission ticket — USD 37 per person.
3-Day admission ticket — USD 62 per person.
7-Day admission ticket — USD 72 per person.
Join-in or private tour package — Join-in tours are best suited for solo travelers who are looking to share the cost of transport/guide. The itinerary typically includes the 3 major temples: Angkor Wat, Bayon & Ta Phrohm. Click below to check join-in and private tour prices, discounts & itinerary schedule.
Private tuk-tuk / car charter — If you are traveling in a group, you can hire your own tuk-tuk, private car or motodop (motorcycle taxi). Getting a transport charter is recommended if you want to maximize your sightseeing from sunrise to sundown.
Motorbike / bicycle rental — Cost-effective option if you want to go on your own. Take note, the temples are spread across a large area. Going by push bicycle can be quite tiring and unbearably hot, especially if you are not conditioned to traveling long distances & the heat.
0530 am: Sunrise at Angkor Wat
![travel vietnam indochina Angkor Wat sunrise](https://static1.detourista.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/006-Angkor-Wat-sunrise-Siem-Reap-Siem-Reap-Cambodia-100415-072510.jpg)
Angkor Wat is located 7 kilometers away from Siem Reap city center. Travel time is around 20 minutes by car/tuk-tuk. To see the sunrise at Angkor Wat, I suggest that you depart from your hotel at 5 am or earlier.
Travel hack : The sunrise time varies depending on the time of year. Before you go, make sure to check your weather app or search “Siem Reap sunrise time” on Google.
Ancient city of Angkor
![travel vietnam indochina Ta Prohm (temple)](https://static1.detourista.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/007-Ta-Prohm-temple-Siem-Reap-Siem-Reap-Cambodia-120926-172125.jpg)
Temples and ancient sites to visit beyond Angkor Wat
The major spots are marked with an *asterisk:
Prasat Kravan
Banteay Kdei
Chau Say Tevoda
Angkor Thom West Gate
Phimeanakas
*Angkor Thom South Gate
0500 pm: Sunset at Phnom Bakheng
![travel vietnam indochina Sunset at Phnom Bakheng (temple)](https://static1.detourista.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/009-Sunset-at-Phnom-Bakheng-temple-Siem-Reap-Siem-Reap-Cambodia-100419-191425.jpg)
Only around 300 people are permitted to go up Phnom Bakheng temple at a time. During the peak tourist season, best to arrive earlier at around 4 pm.
0700 pm: Siem Reap at night
1030 pm: siem reap to phnom penh night bus.
The 460-kilometer land journey from Siem Reap to Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam takes around 13 hours. Although shuttles are faster, I recommend that you take the more comfortable bus.
Consider checking out of your hotel/hostel before going on your tour of Angkor to avoid being charged an extra night. Most places will let you keep your bag/luggage at the concierge for free, even after checking out.
Siem Reap to Phnom Penh bus tickets
The bus fare is USD 10-15 per person. Click below to see current prices, bus schedules & online booking.
Day 5: Phnom Penh
0600 am: phnom penh arrival and half-day city tour.

Places to visit in Phnom Penh

Ho Chi Minh hotel check-in
Stay in District 1, near Nguyen Hue Walking Street, Pham Ngu Lao or Bui Vien street.
Ho Chi Minh at night

Head to Nguyen Hue Walking Street for a scenic evening stroll. If you’re not ready to call it a night, enjoy cool drinks & sweeping views from one of many rooftop bars in Ho Chi Minh.
Day 6: Beyond Ho Chi Minh
0730 am: mekong delta river cruise / chu chi tunnels.
One of the best things to do for your full day in Ho Chi Minh is to go on an excursion outside the city. Book a tour package for hassle-free trips.

Your travel expenses will largely depend on your traveling style and how much you plan to spend on activities, accommodations & food. To help you set your own budget, here are budget estimates if you follow the 7 days and 6 nights (7D6N) itinerary posted above. Make sure to review all discounts & online booking prices.
I’ve included backpacker budget estimates for food & accommodations to give you an idea of how cheaply you can do the trip. As you know, actual budgets/expenses may be different depending on many factors including personal traveling styles, time of visit, etc. If you have money to splurge on hotels, food, and extra activities, simply use the expenses posted to calculate your estimated budget.
Can you travel cheaper? The entrance fee + tour/transport to Angkor Wat alone takes up a huge chunk of the total budget. It’s expensive, yes. You can easily achieve a budget of less than USD 40 per day if you skip the attractions completely… DON’T! because they are really worth the price.
The most popular place to stay for budget travelers is Khao San Road area. It is an easy base to explore Bangkok & beyond because of many hostels, travel agencies & transport options that can be found here.
Want better views & comfort? Try the mid-range & luxury hotels on the Chao Phraya Riverside.
If you’re after the exciting shopping scene in Bangkok , stay near the BTS/MRT train stations preferably in the area of Siam, Silom, Sukhumvit, or Hua Lamphong BTS station. A big advantage of staying nearby is fast access to Suvarnabhumi Airport (via the airport express), and major transport hubs like Morchit (Mochit)-Northern Thailand Bus Station & Hua Lamphong Railway Station.

Indochina Travel Tips Before You Go
Do i need a visa, how to cross the border between thailand-cambodia-vietnam, what bus company to go with, where to book bus tickets online, useful travel apps & websites for indochina, how to get mobile internet, how to get money/cash, how to book cheap flights to indochina, should i book my indochina hotel online, pre-book your indochina tours & attraction tickets online.
Filipinos (Philippine passport holders) do not need to apply for a tourist visa before arriving in all three countries featured on this itinerary.
Pinoy travelers can enjoy Visa-free travel in Thailand for stays of 30 days or less. There’s a maximum of 2 visits annually if arriving by land. Don’t worry because you’ll only be crossing once.
For Cambodia and Vietnam, the maximum stay is 21 days.
If anyone tells you that you need to pay anything when crossing the border, insist that Filipinos are not required to apply for a tourist visa and refuse their offer. Walk straight to the official immigration booths at the checkpoint. Before leaving, carefully check the new stamp on your passport & make sure that the validity date indicated is past your last day in the country.
Go with a reputable bus company, which will provide a representative that will guide you through the border crossing process.
Upon reaching the border, in Thailand, for example, you will need to clear the Thailand immigration checkpoint and get the exit stamp on your passport.
Then, get off the bus and walk to the Cambodia side of the border. Do not leave important things on the bus. Also, take a picture of the bus no./plate no. and ask the bus driver/representative if it’s the same bus that will take you to Siem Reap. If yes, it’s okay to leave your big luggage. Just bring your valuables with you.
At the Cambodia side, line up for the immigration checkpoint, get an entry stamp and look for the onward bus to Siem Reap.
Expect the same procedure when crossing between Cambodia and Vietnam.
The process above only applies to “direct” buses.
Giant Ibis is quite reliable. They offer direct bus transfers between Bangkok, Siem Reap, Phnom Penh & Ho Chi Minh. The bus fare is a couple of dollars more expensive than competitors, but you’re assured of a safe and comfortable ride. This will be especially appreciated during the border crossings where scams are commonplace.
Transport Co. (Nattakan) is also a good option for the Bangkok-Siem Reap route.
Go with Capitol Tours or Mekong Express for bus travel between Cambodia and Ho Chi Minh.
There are also cheaper buses (not as well maintained as the options above) and shuttles (faster but less leg room/comfort). You can book these directly with your hotel/hostel. Upside is that they typically provide free hotel pick-up. Downside is that you won’t be sure of the quality of the bus company.
Pick a booking site below that offers the best rates, schedule & comfort. Buy your tickets ahead to avoid fully-booked seats.

Google Maps — Remember to download the offline maps before you go to access the map even if you don’t have mobile data.
Use the directions feature if you plan to get around Indochina on your own. I love this feature because I often like to wander around places that I visit & see the sights on foot. The directions on Google Maps is also super useful because it displays train & bus routes in Indochina. It only works online, so you will need internet access.
Maps.me — Excellent Google Maps alternative that automatically saves offline maps.
Grab — I use this reliable ride-hailing app frequently as an alternative to taking the taxi. To see the fare estimates, click below to install the app on your phone & manually set the location to in Indochina. Take note of the prices displayed for your pre-trip budget plan.

XE Currency — Free & easy currency converter.
Google Translate — Very useful when communicating with locals who do not understand/speak English.
Agoda & Booking.com — My go-to for convenient hotel bookings & cheap rates. For home/apartment rentals, check listings on Airbnb .
Skyscanner & Momondo — These top flight search apps make it super easy to compare airfares from multiple airlines. Download the app & sign-up to the price alerts for updates on cheap flights.

TripAdvisor — Great for restaurant reviews & recommendations. One of the features that I use often is the “cheap eats” filter & the map view.

Stay connected online by purchasing a local prepaid SIM card, renting a pocket WiFi hotspot or getting a roaming data plan from your current telcom provider. Having mobile internet not only makes it possible to share your travel moments instantly, you can also travel better by having access to all your favorite travel apps.
Click below to view internet/mobile data package rates & discounts on:
Bring cash in US Dollars (USD) for the whole trip. Or, major currencies like Euros or British Pounds. Don’t exchange a lot at the airport because rates are the city center are usually better.
To avoid bringing large amounts of cash or worry about exchange rates, book your accommodations, tours, & tickets online.
The Philippine Peso has terrible exchange rates in Thailand, Vietnam, and Cambodia. I suggest that you bring cash in USD (or any major currency). Or simply withdraw local currency from an ATM. Before you go, make your ATM card (with Visa / Mastercard / Cirrus logo) is cleared for international withdrawal.
Here are the local currencies for your reference:
Thailand — Thai Baht (THB / ฿)
Cambodia — US Dollar is the unofficial second currency. It’s accepted almost everywhere in the country & the exchange rate you will get is quite fair. Officially it’s Cambodia Riel (KHR / ៛) but you don’t need to worry about exchanging money to riel.
Vietnam — Vietnamese Dong (VND / ₫)
If you are flying to within the next 2-3 months, the general rule to spend less on flights is by booking sooner rather than later. In case you are booking well ahead of your trip, keep a lookout for airline promo fares & seat sales.
The easy way to find cheap flights that you can book right now is to use flight search engines. These sites compare prices on different airlines to show you the cheapest prices. Check multiple flight search engines listed below:
Always check promo fares before booking. Visit the airlines’ official website, mobile app, Facebook, Twitter & other social media accounts for updates.

5 Days Indochina Itinerary
Yes, 5 days in Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam is doable. The trip will be rushed & exhausting especially if you’re not used to fast-paced travel. I’ve met many travelers who have done & enjoyed a trip regardless. The five day Indochina itinerary is quite popular among travelers who want to maximize their long weekend vacation leave. You can still use the 1 week itinerary above as a general guide. Simply, take out the full-day excursions beyond Bangkok and Ho Chi Minh. Here’s a summary of the 5 day itinerary covering Bangkok, Siem Reap, Phnom Penh and Vietnam:
2 Weeks Indochina Itinerary
If you have two weeks, one month or more, here are more places you can include in your itinerary:
Vietnam — Mekong Delta, Phu Quoc, Mui Ne, Dalat, Nha Trang
Cambodia — Phnom Penh, Sihanoukville
Thailand — Ayutthaya, Pattaya, Hua Hin, Chiang Mai, Krabi, Phuket, Ko Samui/Ko Tao/Ko Phangan

September 4, 2017 at 4:30 pm

December 25, 2017 at 9:29 pm
Good day sir, may I ask if is this the same process if my trip start from Vietnam to Cambodia to Thailand?
December 26, 2017 at 1:13 am
Yes, it’s the same.
Just keep this in mind: When you’re crossing by land to Thailand, the Thai immigration has a policy that you must present a minimum of THB 10,000 baht per person or 20,000 per family at the border. This “show money” can be in cash & in any popular currency. If the immigration offer tells you that your cash must be in THB, insist that their website states the money can be in any “equivalent” currency. You can check this page for more info.

Hi! Thank you so much for this itinerary. I have to say this is so far the most informative itinerary I’ve read. Thank you so much on taking time to be very informative as possible.
March 12, 2018 at 1:14 pm
Hi! Should I bring USD or would it be better to withdraw from the ATM? I’ll be in Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand and Malaysia for 12 days.
March 12, 2018 at 4:20 pm
I find it easier to withdraw from ATMs when I travel, but I usually bring USD in case of emergency.
March 28, 2018 at 11:42 pm
hello Marcos, me and my boyfriend is planning for our first ever international tour together. this will be a big help for us to visit this 3countries in our 2nd anniv. I just want to ask if we could have a city tour when we arrive there?
March 29, 2018 at 9:24 am
Cool :) Which city do you mean?
April 12, 2018 at 10:02 am
If i go by bus, if i happened to run out of usd, can i withraw from my debit card before i show them my money? Do they have atm’s there?
April 12, 2018 at 10:51 am
I’m not sure if there are ATMs at the border (though you’re likely to find one nearby). I recommend that you already have money in hand at the border. If you are on a direct bus/shuttle transfer, you might inconvenience the other passengers if you go looking for ATMs.
April 13, 2018 at 12:47 am
All of the above :)
Is it possible to extend our trip by ending at Malaysia via bus from Vietnam?
April 13, 2018 at 2:35 pm
All of the above :) hihi
is this possible? Thailand-Cambodia-Vietnam-Malaysia?
April 17, 2018 at 5:54 pm
Hi Mary, if you’re going to travel from Vietnam all the way to Malaysia BY LAND, you will need to pass through Cambodia and Thailand (again).
I HIGHLY suggest that you fly from Ho Chi Minh to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Flying will be cheaper and much much much faster. It will probably take you at least two days to go from Ho Chi Minh to Kuala Lumpur by bus.
If you really want to go by land. You should start from Vietnam, pass through Cambodia, then Thailand. Finally, travel south to Malaysia.
January 6, 2019 at 9:48 am
Hi , This itenerary is so helpful for us thank you so much …
Just want to ask how many days are applicable to travel from this country and also malaysia and singapore? Over all 5 country’s, because were planning our trip on march to april and hopefully 5 country will do…

I posted Singapore + Malaysia itineraries here:

Good day. Do you think there will be a problem for transgender people for this tour?
July 15, 2018 at 5:59 pm
I believe it won’t be a problem. In Thailand, for example, local transgender people are popularly called “Lady Boys.” Transgender people are generally accepted/norm in Thai society.

Hi! i booked from PH to Cambodia then return flight is from Cambodia to PH, plano ko sana magpunta din ng Thailand, is that possible? Makakabalik pa ba ko ng Cambodia ?
July 29, 2018 at 1:59 am
Yes, you can travel from Cambodia to Thailand and back to Cambodia. Depends on how long your trip is. If it’s 3 days, I suggest you just stick to Cambodia. 5 days, possible but half of your trip will be spent on the bus rides, which I don’t recommend. 7 days or more is doable. Kindly read the guide for travel time details.
July 26, 2018 at 1:24 pm
Hi. I read your indochina article and was wondering if it’s not scary to travel from Siem Reap to Phnom Penh during night. Also, the bus from Phnom Penh to Ho Chi Min, will it automatically stop at the border for the immigration process? And my ate and I are both Philippine passport holders, what should we bring at the Cam – Viet border? Thanks!
July 29, 2018 at 1:54 am
Hey Aira, nothing specifically dangerous traveling that bus route at night. Go with a reputable company like Giant Ibis to be safe. As always, take general precautions when you travel anywhere. If you buy a bus ticket with pickup in PP & drop off in HCMC, yes, the bus will stop at the border. Then, the driver to someone will let you finish clearing the immigration. At the other side, you take the same bus company to HCMC.
I’ve already posted tips on bus companies and where to book. Kindly review the guide above. You can also check these guides: https://www.detourista.com/guide/ho-chi-minh-trip/ https://www.detourista.com/guide/siem-reap-trip/

Hello. I would like to ask regarding money when I entered tri-city. Is it a need to bring USD and exchange to local currency everytime Ill be in the different country?
December 31, 2018 at 8:35 pm
Not necessarily USD (any major currency will do), but yes you’ll need money in the local currency… with the exception of Cambodia, since USD is widely accepted there. I usually withdraw local money from an ATM. If you’re not spending a lot in each country, however, and want to avoid bank withdrawal fees, it might be more cost-effective to just bring USD bills (or any major currency) and go to a money changer.

Yes of course!
You can still use the itinerary above as a guide. If you’re not visiting Vietnam, you can either fly out from Siem Reap/Phnom Penh or go by land/air back to Bangkok.
March 20, 2019 at 11:01 am
This is helpful and very detailed itinerary. May I ask if there’s direct bus from Ho Chi Minh to Bangkok? My plan is to skip Cambodia so I have plenty time of both country.
March 26, 2019 at 10:00 pm
Hi Alvin! If you’re skipping Cambodia, I recommend that you book a direct flight instead of traveling by bus.
March 22, 2019 at 12:46 am
Hi! This iti is very detailed! ? We are going to use it for our Indochina trip this December 1-7.
Question: 1. While you are on your half day city tour in Phnom Pehn where did you leave your luggage? 2. Is it cheaper to do DIY or get tours via Klook?
March 26, 2019 at 1:35 am
Thank you for sharing this itinerary. I’m planning to visit Indochina this August but from Vietnam-Cambodia-Thailand route. Is there any direct bus trip from Ho Chi Minh to Siem Reap without stopping in Phom Penh?

Not that I know of. You can check the booking sites if there are any direct buses available.

Hi Leila, this is a travel blog, not a tour agency that offers travel packages. You can use the travel tips above as a reference when planning your Indochina trip.
October 18, 2019 at 12:02 pm
Hi! I was wodering, how did you do the Siem Reap + Angkor temples? I mean, did you negotiate a tuktuk ride downtown at 5:00am then explore temples by foot? And where do you get an entrance fee? I am doing an itinerary for next year trip and I’m confused to whether book at Klook for a tuktuk ride or not because it seems that the tuktuk tour of Klook starts at 8am and does not match yours. I want to follow your itinerary; sunrise at Angkor Wat and sunset at Phnom Bakheng. Your blog is helpful, btw! Thanks!
October 22, 2019 at 2:25 pm
This itinerary is absolute bomb! Considering that each country has its own currency, do you have any tips on currency exchange? Do you do it beforehand or at the destination itself?
October 28, 2019 at 5:35 pm
What are possible problems in the Philippine immigration before going out for tour.
November 3, 2019 at 2:14 pm
How much did you spend for the Indochina tour? Like, a total cost if possible.
November 3, 2019 at 2:18 pm
In Php currency please. Thanks in advance.
November 14, 2019 at 12:40 pm
Hi Marcos :) Indeed a very informative and detailed blog :) Thank you for sharing :) My question is how many passport stamps did you had for this trip? I just wanted to collect passport stamps that’s why I’m looking for budget travels :)
November 27, 2019 at 6:14 am
Thank you so much for the very helpful and informative blog you’ve made Marcos. Keep posting and making blogs so we could have better options and choices on our trip, too. Goodluck and God bless on your next wanderlust.Keep posting?
November 27, 2019 at 11:56 am
Thanks you Mrs.Vhing! Enjoy your Southeast Asia trip :)
November 27, 2019 at 5:01 pm
Hi Detourista, do you have a sample itinerary for a 4-6 Asian countries in just 7-10 days?
November 28, 2019 at 8:18 am
Thanks for this helpful itinerary! Just wanted to ask few questions though.
1.Where did you leave your luggage when you did a half day city tour at Phnom Penh? 2. Which is more appealing, sunrise at Angkor Wat or Sunset? 3. Which country do you recommend for buying cheap souvenirs?
January 13, 2020 at 3:56 pm
how much approximately cost for indochina trip
January 26, 2020 at 2:57 pm
Hi Mr. Marcos, your detailed itinerary is very helpful..just have some query, do you think it will be fine if I’ve got a one way ticket going to Vietnam (I mean going directly to Vietnam) then travel by land going to Cambodia and then Bangkok, from Bangkok back to home country.
February 1, 2020 at 9:57 pm
Yes it’s okay
February 11, 2020 at 9:38 am
Hi! Is there a regular bus from bangkok to cambodia? Direct buses leave at 9am and we don’t have much time to tour around. We plan to leave at 12pm but will there be a bus or a shuttle? Thanks.
April 27, 2020 at 12:35 am
Hi! how did you acquire sim cards for the 3 countries? I know from thailand i can probably pick up something from the airport when I arrive. And in vietnam I know it can be delivered to our hotel and just pick it up when we check in. But how about in cambodia?
April 27, 2020 at 12:44 am
SIM cards are also available at the airport and city center shops once you arrive in Siem Reap. Just research ahead on how to get to your hotel/hostel. The staff should know a good place to buy nearby.

Vietnam Vacation & Tour Packages | Top 10+ Vietnam Trips 2024 – 2025
After a hundred years of colonization and destruction, Vietnam has gradually stepped out of all the remnants of the war, and vigorously transformed into a resolutely fast-developing, self-esteem country’s booming metropolis. Vietnam’s allure is not just exposed through the massively luxury colonial mansions of the French but also favored by nature with breathtaking landscapes and unique heritage sites. Staring a fantasy landscape of limestone islands in Halong Bay, rambling around vibrant Hanoi Old Quarters, immersing in the purely indigenous life of ethnic minority in Sapa, kite-surfing the tropical sea waters of Mui Ne or crawling through incredible Cu Chi Tunnels in Saigon cannot leave your journey greater experiences. A Vietnam vacation covering long-standing cultures, epic history, mouthwatering cuisine, and friendly local people is really worth your time, money, and desire.
Viet Vision Travel has been specializing in tourism for over 18 years, which makes us one of the most trusted tour companies in Southeast Asia. We offer authentic Vietnam tour packages, unique multi-country tours, private cruise trips, and professional travel services. Our team of enthusiastic travel experts is always happy to help travelers to customize their travel of a lifetime.

Great Service
Lynn helped plan our Northern Vietnam vacation packages. She assisted in organizing our ideal cruise in Halong Bay. She was patient with us while we figured out our schedule and changed our minds more than a few times. It took over a month for our family to decide, and she was still there to help with our last-minute decisions. I will keep Viet Vision Travel in mind for any other Vietnam tours.

"We went on the Vietnam Trip last year with our two boys age 8 and 11. What a great trip! We were stunned by the fantastic Vietnamese people, the wonderful views, the terrific food and the stellar way that VeloAsia assembled our trip. This was truly one of our best family vacations." —Karen and Rich Goss
![travel vietnam indochina travel vietnam indochina](https://www.indochinatravel.com/images/biking-ninh-binh.jpg)
Take in a bit of history just outside Saigon, where you can visit the intriguing Cu Chi Tunnels where South Vietnamese fighters lived in these underground tunnels for years during the Vietnam War, and even had doctors and stores set up under the ground. This is a sobering and educational reminder of the dangers and hardships of war. We'll also expose you to living history, meeting with fighter pilot Mr. Hong My in his Hanoi Old Quarter home to hear of his dogfights above Hanoi during the war.
For a more light-hearted trip, we'll head to the mountains in Sapa in the far north of the country. Here you can trek through emerald-green rice terraces and meet friendly local groups who still retain their unique culture and traditional ways.
If your family enjoys active travel, will love kayaking through the stunning karst landscapes of Halong Bay. Just two and a half hours outside of Hanoi is one of the world's most incredible geological settings. Here, you can paddle past towering limestone karst formations and traditional Vietnamese wooden boats. The waters are very calm here, and a pleasant for boating and kayaking with children of all ages and ability.

Young Entrepreneur
Have a budding entrepreneur in the family? Your kids know about Flappy Bird? The app was made by a young coder in Saigon. Asia is rising and over the last decade China and Vietnam have had the most dynamic economies in the world. A watershed moment for Vietnam was the 2010 opening of an Intel's billion-dollar plant in Ho Chi Minh City, Intel's largest plant to date. In Hanoi and Saigon, we'll organize meetings with students in their classrooms and young entrepreneurs for your older children to understand firsthand the human element of these growing economies. We specialize in tech startups, but can arrange meetings in almost any industry from manufacturing, agro products (Vietnam is now the world's second largest producer of coffee beans), to design.
Junior Iron Chef
As No Reservation's Anthony Bourdain points out, there's no better place to travel by your stomach than Vietnam, a place inhabited by "a skinny people obsessed with food." And cuisine is a highlight of any family trip in Vietnam. Vietnam offers delightful hands-on adventures in cuisine, from fruit carving and learning to roll spring rolls with your chef on Halong Bay (right).
Or enjoy an "Iron Chef" cook-off between family members in Hoi An, hunting and preparing several favorite Vietnamese dishes such as banh beo, a Vietnamese crepe, for a hard-to-please panel of judges.
Hanoi Artist Encounter
![travel vietnam indochina travel vietnam indochina](https://www.indochinatravel.com/images/children-learning-lacquer-art-hanoi.jpg)
Hanoi currently enjoys one of the most vigorous emerging art scenes in the world and we can arrange private meetings with many of the country's top artists, engaging in interesting activities for children such as a hands-on learning about how traditional lacquer is made working on actual pieces of artists.
Bomb Shelter Tour
A fascinating multimedia space in the recently-discovered war-era bomb shelter. The educational experience teaches with signage, sound, and is led by a local historian. There were historic accounts of a Vietnam-era bunker designed to protect hotel guests during bombing raids, but nobody recalled where it was located or if it even still existed until recent renovations struck the massive concrete walls of the bunker.
Vietnam Cycling, Trekking & Outdoor Family Tours
Kayaking in Halong Bay
![travel vietnam indochina travel vietnam indochina](https://www.indochinatravel.com/images/kayaking-halong-860.jpg)
On a Vietnam family tour, our most popular family destination is Halong Bay. Halong Bay was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1998 and stunning geographic anomoly where thousands of limestone peaks create a natural barrier to the wind-blown waters of the South China Sea. The karst wonderland was a favorite hiding place for pirates (and the James Bond villain in Man with the Golden Gun). These calm waters are wonderfully suited for kayaking and despite the negative things you've read about Halong Bay, we use only a handful of quality luxury charters that cruise away from the crowds into the pristine areas of the bay.
![travel vietnam indochina travel vietnam indochina](https://www.indochinatravel.com/images/family-kayaking-halong-bay-880.jpg)
Boating and Cycling the Mighty Mekong Delta
![travel vietnam indochina travel vietnam indochina](https://www.indochinatravel.com/images/DSC_0040_resize.jpg)
Our Mekong family tour travels some of the quietest back roads in the country, with frequent side trips by the delta's primary mode of transport — sampan (boat). Drift in small sampan through bustling market places and riverfront villages, stopping into homes, cottage industries, and crafts villages, along the way. Cycling through the bustling markets is always a highlight.
![travel vietnam indochina travel vietnam indochina](https://www.indochinatravel.com/images/halong_valentine880_banner.jpg)
Halong Bay Tours
Halong Bay is an astounding UNESCO World Heritage Site with hundreds of picturesque limestone peaks—the calm waters wonderfully suited for kayaking close up to the limestone formations that offer fantasy water landscapes of exploration. Large caves that served as hidden bunkers for pirates, revolutionaries, and bandits we will now explore on foot and kayak or simply laze on deck watching the mesmerizing scenery drift by.
![travel vietnam indochina travel vietnam indochina](https://www.indochinatravel.com/images/carty_250.jpg)
If you want an idea of how beautiful Halong Bay is, watch the French film Indochine. Now imagine cruising or kayaking these same placid, emerald waters through caves into hidden lakes and white-sand beach coves, your small kayak gliding beneath towering limestone peaks...
There is no other place like this in the world, a cruising experience on par with the Blue Voyage along Turkey's coast. Indeed, the romantic setting of rugged island peaks and bays dotted with sailing junks has inspired a whole genre of Vietnamese painting.
Our private cruises of two to four days in length are of the highest quality yet as affordable as many package tours. Our three-day tour is the perfect compliment to a visit to North Vietnam — a short three-hour drive from Hanoi. Meals and long-distance transport are on our "mother ships" — spacious wooden cruisers equipped with comfortable suites, deck and dining rooms. Meals designed by culinary specialist, Diep To, are abundant and delicious highlighting local seafood cooked up fresh. Vegetarians can be accommodated.
Halong Bay Three-day Itinerary
Day 1: Hanoi to Halong Bay via private car. Board your private junk, enjoying lunch as we motor out onto the bay, pausing to sightsee in Hang Dau Go (Hiding the Timber Cave), the largest grotto in the Halong area. In the afternoon, we'll escape the flotilla of other tourist boats, escaping into our own private part of the bay for kayaking and a beautiful sunset over Halong. After, a delicious seafood dinner, followed by drinks under the stars.
Day 2: Full-day on the bay, exploring grottoes, coves, inland lagoons, floating villages, and beach coves. Seafood lunch, dinner and overnight onboard.
Day 3: Halong Bay. Half-day kayaking on the bay followed by farewell lunch with crew before return to Hanoi by private car.
Tariff: Our private luxury Halong Bay cruises start at US$1,280 (inclusive of private boat and round trip transfer from Hanoi in private car).
Kayaking is optional, but enables up close access, through karst into hidden lagoons where no boat can go. We use imported one and two-seat models are perfect for beginners and for more experienced kayakers.

ITC Photography Series presents: VIETNAM AND ANGKOR
How do we develop a personal vision? With the advent of digital photography, everyone has become a "photographer" yet there are few who really see and create images that are compelling and dynamic. In this course, we will work with each participant to help them develop his or her unique vision; the workshop will culminate in a collection of images that will be visual gifts to us all.
There are two separate but interrelated processes: the first is being both conscious of what we choose to include in our viewfinder and of course, what we choose to exclude. Secondly, once we have captured an image that speaks to us, what enhancements can we make using the tools of digital photography to either augment or transform the image so it coincides with the intention we had when we chose to click the shutter?
The destinations in Vietnam and Cambodia have been chosen to provide maximum visual possibilities.
In the pre introductory meeting, we will review each participants work, give feedback, and optionally, have each person write a short paragraph or two on what they like about photography, what is their purpose in making images and what are the themes that they want to express in their work. In the meeting after our trip to Vietnam and Cambodia, we will review the images created. Each participant will be asked to pick between 6-10 of their favorite images to be discussed in a friendly critique. We will then work together as a group interpreting selected images through Photoshop.
Mark Tuschman has been a professional photographer with nearly 30 years of experience. His primary commercial work has been for healthcare and pharmaceutical clients and he is known nationally as an excellent photographer of people in their environments. His personal work involves working with non-profit organizations in the field of women's rights, both in reproductive healthcare and in microfinance. He also loves doing landscape photography.

Robert Kato has been photographically capturing fine art images for over three decades. His extensive art education has provided him with a strong foundation in the art of seeing as well as visual communication. His photographic journey began soon after he developed his first roll of film and watched his first print "magically" appear in the developer tray. That magic reappeared with the advent of digital photography and Adobe Photoshop. Photoshop helped to satisfy his ambition of becoming a painter and now the mouse has become his brush and the monitor his palette. The photographic paintings were created with an Iris printer. Presently, he works as a fine art digitographer and master printmaker providing post-production assistance to traditional as well as digital photographers. Sharing his expertise, he provides photographers with several aesthetic options for creating a unique photographic expression that can be a departure from the original image.

Vietnam Arts Tours
Artists are often the ideal cultural bridge, many fluent in English, having traveled abroad, as well as being observers of their own culture. We're always happy to make introductions with artists in Hanoi, where many of the country's leading artists are based and most we know personally from our long experience, organizing the very first arts tours of Vietnam in the mid-1990s, when artists were only beginning to emerge from a long post-war slumber and poor economy. What a difference a couple of decades makes. Vietnam's artists have claimed the world-stage and the arts scene is Hanoi is one of the most vigorous in Asia. Meet privately with celebrated.

Pham Thi Kieu Phuc is a celebrated and innovative interior designer who founded Module 7. Phuc loves the silent, discreet nature of lacquer products and her designs have many origins. Some are inspired by the objects of Vietnamese everyday life; colonial hat, fish trap, buffalo, rock and trees. Others are inspired by Japanese design principles, following the Zen philosophy ‘less is more’. She especially likes bronze handmade products, as she feels that the hammers marks left in the product reveal the artisan’s emotion. "If you buy a designer product, the most interesting thing is the creativity of the person who designed it" Phuc claims. More on Phuc Pham.

Sapa & The Tonkinese Alps
BY PATRICK MORRIS ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED IN LONELY PLANET VIETNAM 1ST ED. 1993
![travel vietnam indochina travel vietnam indochina](https://www.indochinatravel.com/images/sapa_view2_250.jpg)
A look off towards China provides breathtaking views of no less than seven mountain ranges. The town was located by Jesuit missionaries in 1918, and, attracted by the cool and temperate climate, western arrivals soon transformed Sapa into a pleasant hill station.
Along with a church, they constructed hotels, tennis courts, an airport, hydro-electric station and summer villas. Most were abandoned or destroyed during the subsequent war for independence with the French and a border skirmish with the Chinese, but some of the colonial influence remains.
Although the name Sapa means "sand village" in Chinese and the town is located within Vietnam, it is home to a wealth of colorful, diverse hilltribes who have steadfastly resisted integration into Vietnamese society and modern life. In fact, the hill tribes, including the Hmong, the Dao, and the Dai, comprise the majority of inhabitants in the area, outnumbering the Vietnamese who have traditionally preferred the warmer climate of the low lands. Indeed, Sapa has been known to get a light sprinkling of snow in the winter.
![travel vietnam indochina travel vietnam indochina](https://www.indochinatravel.com/images/sapa_town250.jpg)
Sapa is a comfortable base for exploring the area. Highlights include Vietnam's highest paved pass, local hilltribe villages, and exploration of Sapa's natural wonders and peaceful surroundings. Very cool weather and early morning fog blowing off Qui Ho Lake high above Sapa and cold to freezing weather can be expected between December and February. Preferable weather is in March and April when the coastal areas are sweltering. Accommodations are at a charming colonial style hotel overlooking the breadth of Sapa's mountain range, terraced rice fields, and deep valley. Tourism has yet to hit Sapa, but during a visit last July the road from Lao Cai was being properly paved, and a trickle of backpackers were beginning to roll in.
![travel vietnam indochina travel vietnam indochina](https://www.indochinatravel.com/images/sapa-terraced-rice-fields860.jpg)
When to go?
April and May are also good months to journey to Sapa, with clearer skies. If your trip does not fall during the better months of the year, consider the shorter journey to picturesque Mai Chau, only three hours southwest from Hanoi, also rich in a diversity of hilltribes but at lower (and warmer elevation). Mai Chau has excellent light trekking and karst scenery and Cuc Phuong National Park is also nearby ( more on Cuc Phuong ). Also, more on weather on our weather page .
WHAT A DIFFERENCE A DECADES OR TWO MAKES
![travel vietnam indochina travel vietnam indochina](https://www.indochinatravel.com/images/sapa_cycling250.jpg)
Private Jet Travel in Asia
In no region of the world does private jet travel make more sense than in Asia. With limited commercial routing and low volume of connections, it is significantly easier and more efficient to travel private jet or helicopter, nor is there more compelling reason to do so than in Asia. Private air transfers can provide significant efficiency for visiting countries like Myanmar and Bhutan, which have limited commercial flights and entry points, as well as a poor road infrastructure that make overland travel time consuming and a rough going. Helicopter transfers will also maximize your time in cities like Bangkok with its legendary traffic, while providing stunning views over places such as Halong Bay. Private jets and large body state-of-the-art come in a variety of customized configurations, including luxury jets outfitted with every conceivable amenity.
INTERNATIONAL AIR CHARTER
From Australia, Europe, North America Indochina Travel can arrange for the ease and convenience of a private jet charter to fly you throughout most destinations in Asia non-stop. From North America, a private regional jet can also be an economical solution combined with flying First Class internationally, then transiting to your private jet upon arrival in Hong Kong, Singapore, Beijing, or Bangkok.
![travel vietnam indochina travel vietnam indochina](https://www.indochinatravel.com/images/above-hong-kong.jpg)
Private Plane FBO Services in Asia

Contact us for more detail or specific requests for chartering during your trip with us.
![travel vietnam indochina travel vietnam indochina](https://www.indochinatravel.com/images/vietnam-jet.jpg)
PRIVATE HELICOPTER TRANSFERS AND TOURS
There's no better reason to hire a helicopter in the region than for airport transfers, which combine convenience but also a flyover of your destination, and in some cases, such as Tokyo, can be less expensive than an airport limousine.
For Tokyo's Narita Airport, Hong Kong, and Bangkok, let us arrange your transfer in the sky and if you've come with the children, you may be staying at the Peninsula which we recommend for families and boasts its own rooftop heliports. Of course, a Bangkok helicopter tour, or over Angkor, Tokyo or Hong Kong can be arranged for both day or night flyovers.

PRIVATE JET VACATIONS AND HOLIDAYS
Hong kong private charter.
![travel vietnam indochina travel vietnam indochina](https://www.indochinatravel.com/images/phu-quoc-b880x295.jpg)
Treat yourself to Phuket of two decades ago. Only a 50-minute hop from Saigon lies Phu Quoc, Vietnam's, indeed Southeast Asia's best kept secret. A National Park, the 16-island archipelago of Phu Quoc (aka "the Emerald Isle") lies about 40 kilometers west of Ha Tien and, to many traveler's delight, is located within the Gulf of Thailand which has better weather than Vietnam's coastline destinations such as Nha Trang.
![travel vietnam indochina travel vietnam indochina](https://www.indochinatravel.com/images/phu-quoc-trekking880.jpg)
The major island, Phu Quoc, is an 27 miles long and covering an astonishing 732 square miles. Lying only ten miles off the Cambodian coast, the island is disputed territory that also claimed by the Cambodians but the Vietnamese are beginning to develop the island. Phu Quoc Island boasts lush tropical forest and mountain zones. The island is about the size of Singapore, but only about 75,000 people live here. Phu Quoc is blanketed with the largest remaining swath of tropical rain forest in Vietnam. The main activities are fishing and manufacture of the country's finest nuoc mam (fish sauce); about 18,000 inhabitants live mainly in the town of Duong Dong, on the west side of the island.
Phu Quoc has the desolate, pristine beaches Thailand had over thirty years ago, especially in the south (there's one called Kem Beach-Kem meaning "ice cream"). These beaches, unlike others along the wind-swept South China Sea coast in the rest of the country are more like those in Thailand, with calmer with miles of deserted white-sand. Large-scale developers have had there eyes on the island for years as the next Phuket, but as negotiations drag on the place remains pleasantly tranquil and free of tourists. A short one-hour hop from Saigon makes it our top beach recommendation if you are traveling in the south, less developed without the crowds and often windy weather of Nha Trang and Phan Thiet.
Phu Quoc is also known for nuoc mam, a pungent fermented fish sauce. Nearly half the island' s population is dependent on its production. There are coral reefs around the island, good places for diving and snorkeling, offer a chance to see beautiful tropical fish and other marine life. Marine sports focus on deep-sea fishing and snorkeling. There's also bird-watching at a rainforest located in the north of the island. Another minor attraction is the Pearl Farm, which sits about a third of the way down the length of Long Beach. Again a bit of a filler for a very slow or rainy day, the farm includes a small educational display about pearls along with the opportunity to spend a motza on a few sets of earrings.
Hotels are standard, local resorts and there are no high-end luxury properties are yet available. For nearly a decade, Phu Quoc has been of significant interest to resort developers and the government is beginning to take initial steps for formal development agreements, including the completion of a new airport. The island has the potential to rival popular destinations in the region such as Phuket and Krabi. Keep in mind, the island's lack of development means little to do or see, but it's a great escape if your seeking to relax on the sand.
What to do on Phu Quoc?
Despite over a thousand miles of coastline, snorkeling is disappointing in most of Vietnam due to the South China Sea being more like the Atlantic and not the aquamarine tropical seas popular in Thailand. However, Phu Quoc is also on the Gulf of Thailand and offers sublime snorkeling and diving.

Why You Should Travel to Indochina
It's no surprise when it comes to vacation; Indochina travel is pretty popular among tourists, accredited TEFL teachers working abroad or even long-term travelers. The region is diverse and it offers various attractions, which makes it an ideal travel destination in Southeast Asia.
Whether you're the type of traveler seeking adventure or interested in culture, there's something for everyone. Each place is interesting on its own.
From the ancient temples of Angkor Wat in Cambodia , to the spiritual city like Luang Prabang, these charming places offer plenty to discover and learn about their history and cultural traditions.
With the region's turbulent history of the past, various destinations in Indochina allow you to learn more about it to understand more about their perspectives when it comes to the Vietnam War or Khmer Rouge .
If these still don't convince you to travel to Indochina, you'll be glad to know that compared to other countries in the Indochina Peninsula like Malaysia , Singapore , or Thailand , traveling to Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos destinations is much more affordable.

How to Travel Around Indochina
Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos are pretty well-connected in terms of public transportation, making it easier for tourists to explore the Indochina region.
The most convenient way to secure your booking for public transport tickets in Indochina is through 12Go website , as the platform enables you to book all types of public transport online. Whether you plan to cross the border overland, by boat, or even by flight, you can book all the tickets there!
So, here's everything you need to know about crossing the border by public transport in Indochina!
![travel vietnam indochina Noi Bai International Airport in Hanoi, Vietnam.](https://thebeautraveler.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/indochina-11.jpg)
It is the fastest and the most convenient way to travel around Indochina, but you'll miss out on the opportunity to see the beautiful scenery across the border in the region.
If you plan to cross the border by flight in Indochina, the easiest way to do it is to pick the biggest city for your departure and arrival in each Indochina country.
You can see the following table to find the airports in Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia that have international flight routes in Indochina.
The respective national carriers in Indochina; Vietnam Airlines , Cambodia Angkor Airlines, and Lao Airlines, cater to several international flight routes in the region.
Alternatively, budget airlines like AirAsia and VietJet Air also have several routes for popular destinations like Hanoi , Siem Reap , or Luang Prabang.
![travel vietnam indochina Sleeper bus in Cambodia.](https://thebeautraveler.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/indochina-15.jpg)
Traveling in Indochina overland by bus is pretty convenient and it's much more affordable than flying. On top of that, on your way between Indochina destinations, you'll be spoiled by the beautiful scenery too.
Depending on the distance, you may need to transfer and change vehicles, like when I crossed the border between Vietnam and Cambodia via Ha Tien .
Although a lot of inter-city buses in Indochina are sleeper buses , most bus companies that offer border service typically use semi-sleeper or couch buses for their international routes in the region. Nonetheless, it's still pretty comfortable, especially if budget is your concern.
While the border service isn't as seamless as other destinations in the Indochina Peninsula (e.g. crossing border from Thailand to Malaysia or Malaysia to Singapore), traveling overland by bus in Indochina is quite reliable since at least the bus company will ensure that they will wait for all the passengers to finish their immigration service at the border. So, in the event you have some issues with immigration, they will wait for you.
Some of the most popular bus services in Indochina that offer border services include:
- Ho Chi Minh (Vietnam) – Phnom Penh (Cambodia)
- Hanoi (Vietnam) – Vientiane (Laos)
- Siem Reap (Cambodia) – Don Det / Pakse in Champasak (Laos)
![travel vietnam indochina Ferry boat in Chau Doc, Vietnam.](https://thebeautraveler.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/indochina-14.jpg)
As the intersection of the Mekong River, one of the most popular (but the longest) way to explore Indochina is by boat.
If you plan to cross the border by boat in Indochina, be very well prepared since it's not the most straightforward way to explore the region. The journey could take up to 2-4 days, and along the way you may need to do some transfer for vehicles in between.
The fastest boat that provides border service in Indochina is the ferry service from Chau Doc in An Giang Province , Vietnam, which goes directly to Phnom Penh in Cambodia .
Up until now, there is no train line available that offers border services between Vietnam, Cambodia, or Laos.
However, both Vietnam and Laos have international train lines that connect both countries with China, which will make it pretty convenient if you plan to continue your journey up north after your Indochina tour.
From Vientiane in Laos, you can also easily go to the Thai border, where you can take the direct train from Nong Khai to Bangkok.

![travel vietnam indochina street food in Hanoi.](https://thebeautraveler.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/hanoi.jpg)
Street food in Hanoi | Recommended by Madison of Madison's Footsteps
Hanoi, the capital city of Vietnam, is undeniably one of the best destinations to explore in Indochina. With its rich history, vibrant culture, and mouthwatering street food scene, Hanoi offers a unique and unforgettable experience for travelers.
One of the highlights of visiting Hanoi is its bustling street food scene. From steaming bowls of Anthony Bourdain's favorite pho, to delectable banh mis, and flavorful bun cha, Hanoi's street food is among the best in Indochina (and the world). Don't miss out on trying Hanoi's famous egg coffee!
However, Hanoi has more to offer than just food. This city offers plenty of cultural and historical attractions like the Temple of Literature, the charms of the Old Quarter, and the serenity of Hoan Kiem Lake with its famous red bridge. History buffs might enjoy a visit to the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum or the Vietnam Museum of Ethnology.
Hanoi also happens to be the perfect hub for adventurers looking to tackle the picturesque (but often perilous) Hà Giang Loop or tourists looking to spend a night or two in Vietnam's iconic Ha Long Bay .

2. Ha Giang Loop
![travel vietnam indochina Ha Giang Loop](https://thebeautraveler.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/ha-giang-3.jpg)
The Ha Giang Loop is a four-day motorbike journey in Northern Vietnam through some of the most staggering landscapes you'll ever see.
From mind-blowing canyons to some seriously impressive mountain passes, you'll find it impossible not to be amazed every step of the way. It's arguably the most scenic place in all of Vietnam, and perhaps all of Indochina!
Most people complete the loop with a tour company – Jasmine Hostel and Mama's Hostel being the two most popular places people go with.
Whether you've got motorbike experience or not, worry not – anyone has the chance to do this. You can choose to ride yourself or get an ‘ EasyRider ‘ ; a local who drives you around for the entire trip.
While the stops along the way vary between tours, generally they stop in the same places. You get to see all of the best landscapes on the loop and in between, you get to see traditional villages and connect with the friendliest locals in the country.

![travel vietnam indochina Ta Van Village in Sa Pa, Vietnam](https://thebeautraveler.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Emily-Lush-Ta-Van-Village-Sapa-Vietnam.jpg)
Located 300 kilometers northwest of Vietnam's capital city, the former French colonial hill station of Sapa (Sa Pa) is a highlight of Vietnam and a must-see when touring the Indochina region.
Sapa is nestled in the Hoàng Liên Son Mountains, which makes the town a popular base for trekking.
Routes range from easy treks through the Muong Hoa Valley – famed for its picturesque terraced rice fields – to the more challenging Phan Xi Pang peak summit.
As well as unreal natural beauty, Sapa offers many opportunities for cultural immersion. There are family guesthouses run by families from the Hmong, Tay, and Dao ethnic groups, and lively bazaars such as the Bac Ha Market where different hilltribes converge to trade and socialize.
There are several options for traveling to Sapa from Hanoi , ranging from VIP minivan to a budget-friendly overnight train. For a more off-the-beaten-path experience in this popular destination, stay in the lush Ta Van Village outside the town.

4. Ha Long Bay
![travel vietnam indochina Ha Long Bay in Vietnam](https://thebeautraveler.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/ha-long-bay.jpg)
Ha Long Bay in Vietnam has long been leading many travel bucket lists, and it is easy to see why.
This beautiful bay consists of almost 2000 limestone islands and islets that, with the sea and the sky, make one of the most dramatically beautiful landscapes on Earth. In fact, it has been recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and named one of the seven natural wonders of the world!
There is no better way to visit Halong Bay than taking a cruise through its beautiful islands. There are boats for all budgets and routes for all kinds of travelers.
From luxury boutique cruises to party cruises as well as boats with activities for the most adventurous, so it is important to choose the best Halong Bay cruise for you !
In fact, Halong Bay is part of a larger area that includes Bai Tu Long Bay and Cat Ba island. If you want a postcard picture or have little time, then Halong Bay is the best for you.
If you prefer a more secluded and less crowded experience, Bai Tu Long Bay will be your choice. However, I suggest you choose Cat Ba island instead if you're on a budget or would prefer to enjoy some beach time.
Join the 3D2N Halong Bay Cruise and Cat Ba Island from Hanoi here!
5. Lan Ha Bay
![travel vietnam indochina Lan Ha Bay in Vietnam](https://thebeautraveler.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Lan-Ha-Bay-in-Vietnam.jpg)
Lan Ha Bay in Vietnam is an exceptional destination in Indochina for its blend of natural beauty and diverse outdoor experiences. This picturesque bay features over 400 limestone karst islands covered in lush greenery and surrounded by emerald waters.
Compared to its more famous neighbor, Ha Long Bay, Lan Ha Bay is less crowded. As a result, visitors may have a more serene experience when touring the bay.
The bay's calm waters are perfect for kayaking, boat tours, and overnight cruises. Depending on the itinerary of each tour or cruise, you can explore its lagoons and secluded beaches or visit local villages on Cat Ba Island for a glimpse into the traditional way of life in the region.
With its beautiful landscape and diverse activities, Lan Ha Bay is an attractive destination for many travelers, from nature lovers and adventure seekers to families.
There are tours and cruises departing for the bay from Tuan Chau Port in Quang Ninh or Cat Ba Island in Hai Phong. Both places are quite easily accessible from Hanoi.

6. Ninh Binh
![travel vietnam indochina Ninh Binh in Vietnam](https://thebeautraveler.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Ninh-Binh.jpg)
Ninh Binh is known as one of Vietnam's most beautiful places to visit, and is often hailed as the “Halong Bay on Land.”
The region boasts a breathtaking landscape of karst mountains, vast rice fields, and intricate pagodas.
One of the best things to do is to take the Tam Coc boat tour , which will take you through the winding waterways surrounded by limestone karsts and rice paddies. Additionally, you can hop on a small wooden boat through limestone caves, temples, and towering cliffs at the UNESCO-listed Trang An landscape complex.
For the best panoramic views of Ninh Binh's landscape, tackle the rewarding climb to Hang Mua Viewpoint.
Ninh Binh is also dotted with ancient pagodas throughout the countryside, each with its own unique charm. Among them, the Bai Dinh Pagoda stands out as the largest Buddhist complex in Southeast Asia, showcasing impressive statues and intricate architecture.
With its rich array of experiences and spectacular scenery, Ninh Binh stands out as a must-see destination for anyone visiting Vietnam.

7. Van Long Nature Reserve
![travel vietnam indochina Van Long Nature Reserve in Vietnam](https://thebeautraveler.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/van-long-nature-reserve.jpg)
Van Long Nature Reserve in North Vietnam is easily the place of your dreams!
Situated near Ninh Binh, this is the largest wetland reserve in the Red River Delta! What makes it unique is how it's surrounded by high cliffs creating a dramatic scenery.
The lowland marshes are also very biodiverse, and you'll be delighted if you like nature. Tens of endangered birds, plants, fishes, and even a monkey species – the critically endangered Delacour's Langur – call the reserve home. You just need a little luck to see them.
You can easily reach Van Long Nature Reserve from Ninh Binh or Tam Coc. The latter is a popular tourist hotspot with its own boat ride, but I'd argue the one at Van Long is better. If you have time, you can comfortably do both of them in a day and decide for yourself.
Once you reach the banks of Van Long (around 20 km northwest of Ninh Binh), you will see the local rowers waiting for customers. Buy a ticket, get one of those Vietnamese hats to protect from the sun, sit back and enjoy the views!
Look out for the monkeys on the rocks. They are shy and far, but the rowers spot them and will make sure to share with you. And if you visit just before sunset, the colors are spectacular!
Book your transport from Hanoi to Van Long Nature Reserve here!
![travel vietnam indochina Da Nang in Vietnam](https://thebeautraveler.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/da-nang-1.jpg)
Definitely, Da Nang, Vietnam, isn't on every traveler's bucket list while exploring Southeast Asia . That's a mistake.
Exploring the seaside city of Da Nang you will soon understand why it is the perfect destination to spend a few days relaxing on the beach (My An beach is perfect!), unwinding, or getting on exciting activities.
One of the most popular landmarks of Da Nang is the Chùa Linh Ung Buddhist Temple. Located on the Mui Da Nang Peninsula, it's the best viewpoint of Da Nang, perfect for day exploration but also for viewing the city at night.
Away from the main sights, Da Nang is at the center of fantastic day trips. South of the city, driving for about 45 minutes there is Hoi An , one of the most picturesque villages in Vietnam. Driving north instead, there is Hue where you can easily join the DMZ tour to see the border between South and North Vietnam during the war.
9. Ba Na Hills
![travel vietnam indochina Golden Bridge at Ba Na Hills in Vietnam](https://thebeautraveler.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Golden-Bridge-at-Ba-Na-Hills.jpg)
Sun World Ba Na Hills is a mountain resort located less than an hour's drive away from the coastal city of Da Nang.
Located at the top of a mountain, it is accessible by the longest non-stop single-track cable car in the world, which starts and ends any visit to Ba Na Hills off with breathtaking views.
Once at the top, there are many activities for visitors of all ages set among European-inspired architecture, including a large French Village that includes a church, square, and village.
Ba Na Hills resort is home to the spectacular pedestrian Golden Bridge, which appears to be held up by a pair of hands.
The Fantasy Park, which is a games arcade is great for children, with theaters that have 4D and 5D experiences. The resort offers multiple options for food.
A visit to Ba Na Hills resort involves a lot of walking, and possibly standing in line for various attractions and cable cars. It is recommended to buy tickets before you visit, start early to avoid the crowds, and check the weather to ensure it is not raining before visiting.
Join the day trip from Da Nang to Ba Na Hills here!
10. Phu Quoc
![travel vietnam indochina Phu Quoc in Vietnam](https://thebeautraveler.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Phu-Quoc-2004x1336-Original.jpg)
Phu Quoc is a beautiful tropical island in southwest Vietnam with a laid-back vibe.
Known for its pristine white sand beaches and crystal waters, this island paradise is home to delicious seafood, beautiful landscapes, friendly locals, and picture-perfect sunsets over the Gulf of Thailand.
Surprisingly, Phu Quoc is home to the longest sea-crossing cable car in the world. So hop in and enjoy stunning panoramic views of the island from above!
Then, rent a motorbike to tour the island, or join a Kayaking Tour of Starfish Beach . If you're interested in swimming among the colorful coral reefs and diverse marine life, consider joining a Snorkeling and Island Hopping Tour .
Phu Quoc serves as a base for exploring the nearby island in the An Thoi Archipelago.
For Vietnamese culture, start your day at the beautiful Dinh Cau Temple. Then, visit a pepper farm to learn about the cultivation process before joining a local cooking class. Or head to one of the night markets to experience traditional Vietnamese dishes.
You will want to visit Phu Quoc between October and November to save money on your trip as accommodation prices are lower and there are fewer crowds.
Book a 4-Island Hopping Day Tour with Aquatopia Water Park Experience in Phu Quoc here!
Shaped by its turbulent history and the people's spirit, Cambodia has a vibrant and resilient modern culture combined with its natural beauty and diversity.
Home to Angkor Wat in Siem Reap, the temple is named the largest religious structure in the world according to the Guinness World Records.
With the country's dark history, you can also learn more about the Cambodian genocide in some historic sites like Tuol Sleng Museum and the Killing Field in Phnom Penh .
You can also find some of the best Cambodia destinations to discover the country's natural beauty, whether you're into beaches or mountains.
Are you planning to include Cambodia as a part of your Indochina tour? Check out some of the best destinations in Cambodia below!
11. Phnom Penh
![travel vietnam indochina Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.](https://thebeautraveler.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/indochina-3.jpg)
Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum and the Killing Fields in Phnom Penh, Cambodia | Recommended by me
The capital city of Cambodia, Phnom Penh, offers a unique blend of its tragic past and vibrant present.
You can explore the glorious past of the Khmer Empire and visit some of the most iconic temples in the country, such as the Royal Palace or the Silver Pagoda. You can also visit Oudong , the former capital of the post-Angkorian period, as a day trip from Phnom Penh.
Phnom Penh is also one of the best destinations in Indochina, especially if you want to learn more about the dark history of Cambodia under the Khmer Rouge.
The infamous Killing Fields of Choeung Ek is only around an hour from Phnom Penh city center, where you can learn about the city's history while paying respect to the lives that have been lost under the dictatorship of the Khmer Rouge.
Visit the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum, a former school building that served as a prison during the oppression.
Apart from the morbid building with some documentation of the victims, you can also get a chance to meet the survivors to understand more about the impact and challenges of the Cambodian genocide on the country's modern society.

12. Siem Reap
![travel vietnam indochina Angkor Archaeological Park in Siem Reap.](https://thebeautraveler.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/indochina-5.jpg)
It's hard not to include Siem Reap on the list of the best Indochina destinations.
The city was the ancient capital of the Khmer Empire, and it serves as the gateway to the wonders of Angkor so that you can explore the magnificent temples of Angkor Wat and its surroundings.
You can opt for a 1 or 3-day pass to the Angkor Archaeological Park, as the UNESCO World Heritage Site covers over 400 square kilometers of area that you can plan to explore for a few days if you have time.
If you have a short time to explore Siem Reap, I would recommend getting a one-day pass to Angkor Archaeological Park like I did so you can visit some of the most notable temples around the complex.
Siem Reap also offers a vibrant nightlife, with Pub Street being the best place for an entertainment center in the city. You can find hundreds of shops to buy souvenirs or even pamper yourself with some affordable Khmer massage around the street.
Situated in the heart of Siem Reap, as the name suggests, Pub Street is also the best area to go if you want to indulge in the delicious Cambodian cuisine or just have a drink or two to enjoy the city's nightlife.
Book a private tuk-tuk to explore Angkor Archaeological Park for 3 days here!
13. Tonle Sap Lake
![travel vietnam indochina Tonle Sap Lake in Cambodia](https://thebeautraveler.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/tonle-sap-lake-1.jpg)
Tonle Sap Lake in Cambodia | Recommended by Victoria of Guide Your Travel
Tonle Sap Lake in Cambodia is one of Southeast Asia's most mesmerizing natural wonders, captivating travelers with its unique ecosystem and vibrant local life.
This expansive freshwater lake serves as the beating heart of Cambodia, supporting a diverse array of flora and fauna while offering visitors an immersive cultural experience.
What sets Tonle Sap apart is its ever-changing landscape. During the dry season, the lake's water levels recede, revealing vast expanses of fertile land where floating villages emerge.
These stilted communities, home to thousands of families, provide an insight into the daily lives of locals, showcasing their resilience and resourcefulness.
A visit to Tonle Sap promises an enriching adventure. Travelers can take boat tours to witness the lake's distinct biodiversity, spot rare bird species, and see traditional fishing techniques.
Exploring the floating villages unveils a vibrant tapestry of local markets, schools, and temples, fostering a deeper understanding of Cambodian culture.
For those seeking day trips from Tonle Sap, nearby Siem Reap offers a gateway to the awe-inspiring Angkor Wat temple complex, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Additionally, excursions to nearby archaeological sites like the Preah Khan Kompong Svay temple or venturing into the bustling city of Phnom Penh provide further insight into Cambodia's rich history and heritage.
Tonle Sap Lake stands as a testament to the harmonious coexistence of nature and culture, beckoning travelers with its picturesque landscapes and immersive experiences, making it an essential stop for anyone exploring the wonders of Cambodia.
Join the Tonle Sap Lake Floating Village Sunset Boat Tour here!
14. Battambang
![travel vietnam indochina Battambang old bamboo train in Cambodia](https://thebeautraveler.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/battambang-old-bamboo-train.jpg)
Battambang in the west of Cambodia is a more off-the-beaten-track city and is a highly recommended visit after exploring the temples of Angkor Wat.
It's the second biggest city in Cambodia, but despite its size, it has a sort of small-town charm that offers a welcome contrast with the bustle of touristy Siem Reap and Phnom Penh.
It has some of the best-preserved French colonial architecture in Cambodia and despite its size, Battambang has plenty of things to do both in the city and the surrounding region.
Battambang city is split in two by the Sanker River and exploring by foot, especially late afternoon into early evening when it's cooler is a nice way to spend a few hours.
Once you've explored the city, hands-down the best thing to do in Battambang is to hire a driver and tuk-tuk for the day and explore the lush, green countryside.
The highlights of a countryside tour should include a ride on the ‘Old' Bamboo Train (not the modern one), learning about the cottage industries of the villages, and watching the natural phenomenon at dusk of bats flying out of the bat cave in Phnom Sampeau.
Book a half-day biking tour to explore the local livelihood in Battambang now!
15. Koh Rong and Koh Rong Samloem
![travel vietnam indochina Saracen Bay in Koh Rong Samloem, Cambodia](https://thebeautraveler.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/saracen-bay-koh-rong-samloem.jpg)
A short journey from mainland Cambodia, you will find yourself on the islands of Koh Rong and Koh Rong Samloem.
There are plenty of ferry companies that offer transfers to and from Sihanoukville to Koh Rong and Koh Rong Samloem, from as little as $20 USD. It may seem like a lot if you are backpacking on a budget, however it's worth it to experience this paradise!
Both islands offer incredible beaches with soft sand and clear blue waters, making the ultimate activity to do here is simply to relax.
There nothing better than spending your days chilling in the sun on some of the most beautiful beaches you will ever experience.
Some of my favorite beaches include Long Set Beach on Koh Rong, and Saracen Beach on Kong Rong Samloem.
For epic snorkeling , I highly recommend the cross-island trek on Koh Rong Samloem to Sunset Beach.
No matter which island you choose to visit, or even if you have the opportunity to explore both, you will no doubt have an epic time in this Cambodian paradise!
Join the private snorkeling tour in Koh Rong to witness the amazing marine life on the island here!
16. Koh Ta Kiev
![travel vietnam indochina Koh Ta Kiev in Cambodia](https://thebeautraveler.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Koh-Ta-Kiev-.jpg)
Koh Ta Kiev in Cambodia is still a true hidden gem in Indochina. It's a small island off the coast of Cambodia. While it's close to the famous Koh Rong and Koh Rong Samloen, it's significantly less busy.
You can have a real Robinson Crusoe feeling here. There are not many too many accommodations and there are also not a ton of things to do.
The main thing to do on this paradise island is relaxing on an empty beach.
If you're feeling more active, you can also go on jungle hikes, boat tours, snorkelling or cliff jumping.
Bonus point if you visit around the time of the new moon, as you can even observe bioluminescent plankton!
![travel vietnam indochina Salt fields in Kampot, Cambodia.](https://thebeautraveler.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/indochina-2.jpg)
A charming and laidback city on the banks of the Praek Tuek Chhu River, Kampot is one of the best places to visit in Indochina if you're looking for a place to unwind away from the hustling and bustling of the big cities.
Kampot is best known for its pepper, salt, and seafood, which you can enjoy while traveling to the city.
One of the best Kampot tours you can book is the trip to the salt field and pepper plantation at La Plantation . As a part of the tour, you can see how salt is being processed when extracted from the seawater and dried under the sun.
It's also home to Bokor National Park , where you can explore the former King Sihanouk's favorite vacation house, as well as the infamous Le Bokor Palace.
If joining the tour isn't your cup of tea, you can also explore the city center on your own. While you can do a DIY walking tour around the city, I highly recommend renting a bicycle to admire the colorful and quaint facades with the riverside views in Kampot.
Rent a bike and explore the backroads of Kampot here!
Compared to its neighboring countries in Indochina, Laos is probably the most off-the-beaten-path destination in the region.
Known for its laidback lifestyle and responsible tourism, Laos is the only landlocked country in Indochina so you can't expect beach destinations in Laos.
However, the country is committed to developing its tourism industry sustainably and ethically. Not only can you expect stunning natural scenery from waterfalls, mountains, and forests, but you can also easily find eco-lodges like Dream Resort Farm Pakse to support the country's effort in sustainable tourism.
Compared to the neighboring country Thailand, Lao food is often overlooked. But trust me when I say that Lao food is delicious. Try some local specialties, like laap (minced meat salad) and khao jee (something similar to banh mi in Vietnam or num pang pate in Cambodia).
The only downside is that Laos heavily relies on imports for general trading in the country, so you can expect slightly higher costs when traveling in Laos compared to Cambodia and Vietnam.
18. Don Det
![travel vietnam indochina Don Det in Champasak Province, Laos](https://thebeautraveler.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Don-Det-1-Linda-of-Insieme-Piemonte.jpg)
As a part of the Si Phan Don (Four Thousand Islands) archipelago in South Laos, Don Det is a river island that you should visit when traveling to Indochina.
Situated in the southern part of Laos in Champasak province, you can find some border services pretty easily from big cities in Cambodia like Phnom Penh or Siem Reap. There are also some border services from Vietnam that include big cities like Da Nang.
It was the home to the first and only railway in Laos that connects Don Det to Don Khon. Built in the late 19th century by the French colonialists at the time, you can still see the remnants of the railway bridge and the old station on the island.
Don Det is also one of the most diverse and vibrant places to visit in Laos, as you can find various ethnic groups as the residents of the island. From Lao, Khmer, and Vietnamese, it's a great place to explore Laos and celebrate the diversity of its people!
On top of that, Don Det is also blessed with a stunning natural landscape with the mighty Mekong River in its surroundings combined with the lush tropical forests and the greenery through the rice fields; it's an awesome place if you're into nature and outdoor activities!
![travel vietnam indochina Wat Luang in Pakse, Laos](https://thebeautraveler.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/indochina-7.jpg)
Wat Luang and Sacred Heart Cathedral in Pakse, Laos | Recommended by me
The capital city of Champasak Province, Pakse is known as the gateway to many attractions and activities in Southern Laos. I took the bus from Siem Reap to Pakse, but you can also find some international flights that fly directly to Pakse from other cities in Indochina.
Compared to other popular destinations in Laos like Vientiane or Luang Prabang, Pakse stands out for its unspoiled natural attractions that provide a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of modern life.
It's also one of the best Indochina adventure travel destinations, as it's a perfect gateway to the Bolaven Plateau , where you can visit the waterfall and spend the day doing some outdoor activities. From trekking to swimming, you can also enjoy the natural landscape in its surroundings.
The region is also known for its coffee plantation, so don't miss out the opportunity to taste the authentic Pakse coffee when traveling to the city!
Join a 2D1N Pakse Adventure Trail and explore the Bolaven Plateau here!
20. Vientiane
![travel vietnam indochina Wat Xieng Khouane Luang in Vientiane, Laos](https://thebeautraveler.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/buddha-park-vientiane.jpg)
Wat Xieng Khouane Luang in Vientiane, Laos | Recommended by Kevin and Kate of Happy Irish Wanderers
Many people don't spend much time in the capital of Laos, which is a shame as one of the best yet unknown attractions in Indochina is here.
Buddha Park ( Wat Xieng Khouane Luang ) is one of the largest and best collections of all sorts of Buddha statues in the world.
There are over 200 large statues to discover, such as the nearly 400-foot-long reclining Buddha.
However, our favorite is the large afterlife statue where you can climb inside and witness the different levels of the afterlife: hell, heaven, and purgatory.
Located 45 minutes from the city center, it is easily reached by bus 14 at a cost of less around 0.50 cent. Entrancee fee is 40.000 Laos kip, which is less than $2 USD.
Book a Vientiane City Tour here!
21. Vang Vieng
![travel vietnam indochina Vang Vieng in Laos](https://thebeautraveler.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/vang-vieng.jpg)
Nam Xay Viewpoint is one of the best scenery in Southeast Asia, and for good reasons.
Located 10 kilometers from Vang Vieng, it is easily reached by hiring a motorbike or by using a taxi driver.
Entry is 20,000 Laos kip, which is less than 2 USD.
Make sure to bring at least 1 liter of water per person. The climb up is quite hard, even for the fittest of people.
Once you reach the top though, you will be rewarded with 360-degree views of unspoiled classic Indochina landscape.
Of course, make sure to get a photo of the 2 motorcycles that some tough people dragged to the top!
Join the Vang Vieng Tour to Nam Xay Viewpoint and Blue Lagoon here!
22. Plain of Jars
![travel vietnam indochina Plain of Jars](https://thebeautraveler.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Plain-of-Jars-Sharon-of-I-Travel-Peru.jpg)
It's one of the off-the-trail destinations in Laos, and definitely one of the best Indochina places to visit if you're into archaeology.
Just like Angkor Wat in Cambodia and Ha Long Bay in Vietnam, Plain of Jars is also listed as one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Indochina.
Situated not too far from the Phonsavan, the capital city of Xiangkhouang Province in the northeastern part of Laos, you can see some of the most pre-historic sites in the region.
It is unclear who made the jars or what they were for, but apart from visiting the ruins of jars you can also see the beautiful views of the rolling hills and the green valleys around the Xiangkhouang plateau.
While the easiest to go to the Plain of Jars sites is by booking a tour from Phonsavan in advance, you can also rent a car or hire a taxi driver for a full-day adventure to wander around the historical sites.
Book a tour to Plain of Jars with a local English-speaking tour guide here!
23. Luang Prabang
![travel vietnam indochina The bamboo bridge in Luang Prabang, Laos.](https://thebeautraveler.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/luang-prabang-flo-of-Yoga-Wine-Travel-1.jpg)
Compared to other Laos destinations in Indochina, Luang Prabang is probably the most popular one among international tourists.
This charming small town was once the capital of the ancient kingdom of Lane Xang up until the 16th century.
Luang Prabang also served as the royal and religious capital of Laos until 1975. It offers a unique experience that combines colonial heritage sites, along with endless cultural attractions that make it worth visiting when traveling to Indochina.
If you plan to travel from Thailand to Laos or the other way around, the most popular way to travel is by a slow boat that connects Luang Prabang to Chiang Khong in North Thailand . The journey takes around 2 days in total, but it's highly recommended if you have enough time to absorb the experience!
Luang Prabang has so much more to offer. Whether you want to visit the ethical elephant sanctuary or just visit the night market to buy some of the best souvenirs from Laos, there are so many things to do in Luang Prabang !
If you happen to visit Luang Prabang during the dry season, make your way to visit the bamboo bridge that's only there during this time of the year.

24. Kuang Si Waterfall

Kuang Si Waterfalls in Laos | Recommended by me, photo by Flo of Yoga, Wine, & Travel
One of the most popular waterfalls in Laos, Kuang Si is a must-visit when traveling to the northern part of the country. Located an hour drive from Luang Prabang, you can arrange a day trip to Kuang Si Waterfall to make the best of your time there.
Kuang Si Waterfalls is heaven for adventure seekers. Apart from swimming in the pool, you can also go hiking through the wooden bridge to see the fantastic views over Laos countryside.
To make the best of your visit, you can also pack a picnic and enjoy it while admiring this beautiful landscape!
The area is where the Tat Kuang Si Bear Rescue Center is located.
Home to around 20 Asian black bears, you can see them play around hammocks from afar. To support the foundation, you can also donate by purchasing merchandise at this rescue center.
Join the day tour to Kuang Si Waterfalls and the surroundings from Luang Prabang here!
As always, I'm going to list some of the most frequently asked questions about Indochina travel in this section. So, here we go!
1. What are Indochina countries?
The answer to this question may differ depending on the context. The term Indochina itself refers to the region in Southeast Asia that's located between India and China.
Some people consider all the countries in the mainland Indochina Peninsula to be Indochina countries. In which case, these include countries like Myanmar , Thailand, and Malaysia, all the way to Singapore in the northwest of the peninsula.
However, Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia are more popular as Indochina destinations due to their similarity in terms of history, culture, and geographical features.
These countries were part of the former French Indochina colonies, and the presence of the Mekong River makes them a popular region to explore with what's known as the Banana Pancake Trail in Southeast Asia.
2. When is the best time to travel to Indochina?
The majority of the places in Indochina generally have two main seasons: the wet season from May to October, and the dry season from December to April.
Some places in the northern part of Indochina, such as Sa Pa and Luang Prabang, can be super cold and even get snow during the northern hemisphere winter season from December to February.
Visiting Indochina during the shoulder season from November to January is probably the best time to travel to the region, since the region is relatively less crowded.
If you're lucky, you can even experience some festivals and celebrations like Lunar New Year, which is one of the biggest public holidays in this part of the world.
![travel vietnam indochina Guan Yu Temple in Chau Doc, Vietnam.](https://thebeautraveler.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/indochina-20.jpg)
3. What is the best route for Indochina travel?
The answer may vary depending on your preference, but I did my Indochina starting from Vietnam before Cambodia and Laos.
You can start in North Vietnam via Hanoi and go all the way down to Ho Chi Minh City . From Ho Chi Minh City, you can either take a direct bus to Phnom Penh using Giant Ibis , one of the best Cambodian bus companies.
Alternatively, you can also visit An Giang Province, where you can take a ferry boat to Phnom Penh from Chau Doc. If you want to go to Kampot in Cambodia, you can also take a bus to Ha Tien before booking a bus from Ha Tien to Kampot .
You can go to Laos from Cambodia by bus , whether you depart from Phnom Penh or Siem Reap. Some travel companies like Asia Van Transfer offer border services from Cambodia to Laos, with destinations in South Laos like Don Det or Pakse.
From there, you can go all the way to the northern part of the country. Whether you choose to travel by sleeper bus in Laos or fly between destinations, traveling inter-city in Laos shouldn't be too difficult!
![travel vietnam indochina](https://thebeautraveler.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/essential-tips.jpg)
There are so many great destinations you can visit in Indochina, as the region has something for everyone.
If you prefer cultural travel, you can visit places like Luang Prabang in Laos or Sa Pa in Vietnam. Angkor Wat is also something you should add to your itinerary, especially if you enjoy history while traveling in Southeast Asia.
For those who prefer the modern way to travel, places like Phu Quoc or Da Nang in Vietnam can be a great choice as well. Siem Reap also offers so much more than just Angkor Archaeological Park.
However, if you prefer an off-the-beaten-path destination, Plain of Jars or visiting Bokor National Park in Kampot can be great experiences when traveling around Indochina.
So, do you have your personal favorite destination in Southeast Asia? Share in the comment below, and cheerio!

What client say.
All you could ever need from a fantastic tour operator and at an amazing price. Personal service that beats anything we have experienced in all parts of the world. Mr Hung has a great team but most importantly he is involved in all aspects of the business.
We have used Sunshine Travel for the past three years. They provide and excellent and very reliable service. Mr Hung has organised airport transfers,hotels, flights, train tickets, mini cruisesand day tours on our behalf. We have never had any complaint and have always been extremely satisfied with the holidays he has organised for us. No problem with payment – very reliable. I highly recommend this company. If you are not sure about putting an itinerary together Mr Hung is extremely helpful with many ideas you probably hadn’t thought of.
I had the chance of being introduced to Mr. Hung from Vietnam Sunshine Travel. He organized all my travels from hotels, tours, transportation by bus and by plane, airport and hotel pickups and more. Once I had troubles with a bus driver, I called Mr. Hung who took care of the problem and on my way I went! He speaks very good English and was always available when I needed him. He made my month + travel to Vietnam and Cambodia a real joy. He was extremely helpful! I wholeheartedly recommend him. He also manages La Suite http://www.hanoilasuitehotel.com/ which, if is run like his travel agency, is probably a gem. Visited January 2015
Dear Mr The Linh, A quick note to say thankyou for organising our tour. We were very impressed with how well everything went and also how helpful your staff were. I will be sure to recommend you to anybody planning a trip to Vietnam. Once again thankyou. Regards

Approached by a four causeways; Beng Mealea appears to be a huge pile of rubble partially hidden in the trees. Once you get closer the high walls, the ancient Khmer Architecture reveals itself. Cloaked in vegetation and with few concessions to tourism; this temple looks like it would have done when the early French explorers found it.
Drive to visit Koh Ker temple. After the Khmer empire had been established in the Angkor area (Roluos), Jayavarman IV moved the capital in 928 almost 100km northeast to Koh Ker. Here a vast number of temples were built under his reign, until his successor returned to the Angkor area about twenty years later. The Koh Ker site is dominated by Prasat Thom, a 30 meter tall temple mountain raising high above the plain and the surrounding forest. Great views await the visitor at the end of an adventurous climb. Garuda, carved into the stone blocks, still guard the very top, although they are partially covered now. Continue to Preah Vihear province and transfer to hotel for check-in.

Preah Vihear has been claimed by neighbouring Thailand on numerous occasions. In 1962, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague ruled that the temple is in Cambodia.

Huong Lien, a modest yet popular eatery, gained international fame in 2016 when President Barack Obama and celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain enjoyed the local cuisine here, casually dining on bun cha and bonding over cold beers.
Their meeting, captured in a Vietnam episode of Bourdain's show “No Reservations,” turned Huong Lien into a must-visit spot, forever linking its authentic flavors with the conversation of both men.
18. Drinks at Beer Corner
Beer Corner in Hanoi's vibrant Old Quarter pulsates as the epicenter of the city's nightlife.
This busy intersection, formally known as Ta Hien and Luong Ngoc Quyen streets, comes alive at dusk as locals and travelers converge to revel in its lively atmosphere.
The narrow, pedestrian-only streets are lined with small bars and street vendors, making it a great place to enjoy local beers, notably the famous Bia Hoi, a light and refreshing draft beer.

Hanoi's Train Street is a narrow residential alley with railway tracks running directly through it, offering a vivid slice of local life.
Twice a day, residents tuck away their belongings and retreat to a safe distance as a train passes mere inches from their doorsteps. This close-knit community has adapted ingeniously, with cafes and shops seamlessly blending into the daily rhythm.
The street has become an iconic spot for visitors, drawn by the thrill of witnessing the train's close passage and the chance to capture the compelling contrast between the rumbling locomotive and the tranquil daily life of Hanoi's inhabitants.
Note: cafes tend to have a drink minimum if you want to find a spot to sit and wait for the train to pass.

Why Is Putin in Vietnam?
President Vladimir V. Putin is keen to maintain the longstanding military ties between Russia and Vietnam, as Hanoi has developed deeper bonds with Washington.

By Sui-Lee Wee
Reporting from Bangkok
President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia wrapped up a state visit to one ally, North Korea, and moved on to another, Vietnam, arriving early Thursday hoping to shore up crucial partnerships in the region as he wages a protracted war in Ukraine.
Mr. Putin’s war in Ukraine has left him isolated from the West, and his need for munitions to fight that war has pushed him closer to North Korea and its leader, Kim Jong-un. The two leaders have bonded over their common historical opponent, the United States, and on Wednesday revived a Cold War-era mutual defense pledge between their nations.
In Vietnam, by contrast, Mr. Putin met with officials who have recently forged deeper bonds with Washington. But Moscow has long been Hanoi’s main source of weapons, and Mr. Putin is keen to hold on to that position.
It is Mr. Putin’s fifth visit to Vietnam and follows trips last year by President Biden and President Xi Jinping of China, two leaders who sought assurances from Hanoi that it was not taking the other’s side.
For Vietnam, Mr. Putin’s trip will be an opportunity to solidify ties with Russia, its most important defense partner. Even though it has upgraded relations with the United States, Vietnam was still looking for secret ways last year to purchase Russian military equipment in contravention of American sanctions.
On Thursday morning, in typical scripted fashion, Vietnamese schoolchildren — waving both the Russian and Vietnamese flags — lined the Hanoi streets as Mr. Putin’s motorcade drove by. He was greeted by Vietnam’s newly installed president , To Lam, who gave him a hug.
Later, Mr. Putin was given a 21-gun salute at the Imperial Citadel of Thang Long, an important historical site in the center of the capital. A military band played the national anthems of both countries. The two leaders will hold a news conference after the talks are over, according to Vietnamese state media.
Washington has rebuked Hanoi for inviting the Russian leader, saying, “No country should give Putin a platform to promote his war of aggression and otherwise allow him to normalize his atrocities.”
This week, Mr. Lam told the local Russian envoy that Hanoi “always considers Russia one of the top priority partners in its foreign policy.”
Here’s what to know about relations between Moscow and Hanoi.
Russia and Vietnam have deep military ties.
In 1950, the Soviet Union was among the first countries to give diplomatic recognition to what was then the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, or North Vietnam. Over decades, Moscow became Vietnam’s biggest donor, providing military aid when Hanoi was fighting its wars against France and the United States.
The defense relationship has underpinned many ties between the two countries, which over the years also shared communist ideology. Mr. Putin arrived in Vietnam with his new defense minister, Andrei R. Belousov, underscoring how security matters are central to the visit.
Russian equipment represents about 60 percent to 70 percent of Vietnam’s defense arsenal, according to Nguyen The Phuong, who studies Vietnam’s military affairs at the University of New South Wales in Australia. Russia has supplied Vietnam with coastal defense missile systems, six Kilo-class submarines, fighter jets and many more lethal weapons.
Nearly all of Vietnam’s naval vessels come from Russia, according to Mr. Phuong. Russia’s T-90 tanks, which were the last-known major purchase of Russian arms by Vietnam in 2016, form the backbone of Vietnam’s armored forces, he added. This means that Vietnam is still going to be reliant on Russia in the years to come.
Vietnam has looked beyond Russia for weapons.
But the imposition of Western sanctions on Moscow has increased concerns in Hanoi about Russia’s reliability as a supplier, and made it increasingly awkward for Vietnam to continue dealing with Russia as it engages with the West.
Many of Vietnam’s leaders are also aware of the Russian military’s struggles against Ukraine — footage has shown the T-90 tanks being blown apart by drones used by Ukraine. They are also cognizant of Russia’s deepening relationship with China, which they regard as a threat because of a longstanding territorial dispute in the South China Sea.
In recent months, it has turned to countries like South Korea, Japan and the Czech Republic as alternative sources of weapons. It has also tried to build up its own defense industry. It has looked to India, another former Soviet ally, to retrofit some of its weapons.
The United States has been actively offering more weapons to Vietnam, with senior officials traveling to the country in recent months. But analysts say the top echelons of Vietnam’s defense leadership remain suspicious of Washington. They are reluctant to tie their fate to a country where arms sales have to be passed through a Congress that could make the deal contingent on human rights.
The two nations have joint ventures in the oil business.
Russia has a significant stake in Vietnam’s lucrative oil and gas sector. Vietsovpetro, a joint venture run by Russia’s Zarubezhneft and Vietnam’s state-owned PetroVietnam, operates Vietnam’s largest oil field, Bach Ho.
The profits from Vietsovpetro have generated millions of dollars for both Russia and Vietnam. Zarubezhneft and Gazprom, another Russian state-owned energy firm, are also involved in oil exploration projects in Vietnam.
For Moscow, these projects come at a time when Russian oil and gas exports to Europe have plummeted following the imposition of sanctions from the European Union. But they have irked Beijing because they are in waters that it contends are part of its territory.
Before the coronavirus pandemic, Vietnam was also a particularly attractive destination for Russian tourists. In 2019, Russia sent the sixth-highest number of tourists of any nation to Vietnam, just after the United States. But the numbers dropped during the pandemic and fell further after Vietnam stopped direct flights in 2022 after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Direct flights resumed this year.
Mr. Putin is seen as popular with the Vietnamese brass.
Beginning in the 1950s, thousands of Vietnamese Communist Party officials , top business officials, doctors, teachers and soldiers were trained in the Soviet Union and Russia. That list includes the current party chief, Nguyen Phu Trong.
But some felt those deep ties were ignored by the last Soviet leader, Mikhail S. Gorbachev, and Russia’s first president, Boris N. Yeltsin.
“The Vietnamese feel that Gorbachev in the 1980s abandoned Vietnam in an effort to improve relations with China; Yeltsin, all through the 90s, barely paid any attention to Vietnam,” said Ian Storey, a senior fellow at the ISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute in Singapore. “Once Putin was in power in 2000, he gave a lot of face to it. So the Vietnamese are grateful for that.”
He added that the Vietnamese leadership liked Mr. Putin because “he put Vietnam-Russia relations back on track.”

Why is Russia’s Putin visiting Vietnam after North Korea?
Vietnam is a rising nation that the West wants closer ties with. The visit is a signal from Russia that Putin isn’t isolated.
![travel vietnam indochina Nguyen Thi Hong Van, 55, a collector and seller of Russian souvenirs who lived and worked in Russia for 20 years, poses at her shop in Hanoi, Vietnam](https://www.aljazeera.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/2024-06-17T070709Z_873454821_RC22C8AXYJN5_RTRMADP_3_VIETNAM-RUSSIA-PUTIN-FANS-1718777569.jpg?resize=770%2C513&quality=80)
Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday held talks with Vietnam’s leaders, hours after flying into Hanoi for a visit to an old ally that has positioned itself as an increasingly influential geopolitical player, wooed by most major nations. Putin flew to Vietnam from North Korea, where he met that country’s leader, Kim Jong Un, on Wednesday.
The visit to Vietnam, among other things, is Russia’s way of showcasing that while Putin is treated as a pariah by the West, he still holds political clout in the East, experts have said. Communist-led Vietnam will welcome Putin for a two-day visit, the Kremlin said.

‘internal betrayal’ in russia: what did putin say in his address, is the sco putin’s escape from global isolation, africa, beware of putin’s money promises.
The trip comes after the United States last week imposed more sanctions on Moscow and Western countries reiterated their unwavering support for Ukraine – now fighting its third year of war against Russia – by agreeing to a $50bn loan for Kyiv at a Group of Seven (G7) summit. The visit also comes days after last weekend’s Ukraine peace summit in Switzerland.
Why Vietnam?
While North Korea , where Putin held meetings with leader Kim Jong Un on Wednesday, is itself a global outcast, heavily sanctioned by the United Nations over its nuclear and missile programmes, Vietnam is a nation that other major countries want close ties with.
A rising economy and a leading exporter of garments, Vietnam today counts the US and other Western countries as important partners. India is a growing defence partner. Vietnam is also a pillar of Southeast Asian efforts to balance ties with China, keeping strong economic ties with Beijing while pushing back against perceived military threats from the Asian giant.
That backdrop makes Vietnam a choice destination for the Russian leader. “Putin will hope his Vietnam visit signals that Russia is far from isolated in Asia amid its recent Ukraine war inroads,” said Prashanth Parameswaran, a fellow at the Washington, DC-based Wilson Center. “ … Even though the visit has been pending for a while now and Moscow’s list of regional friends is quite short in practice,” added Parameswaran, who is also the founder of the weekly ASEAN Wonk newsletter.
What is on the agenda?
Vietnamese President To Lam welcomed Putin in Hanoi on Thursday, committing to further strengthening ties, which he said would enhance peace in the region and globally.
While very few details are available at the moment, their dialogue is expected to focus on strengthening their strategic partnership. In 2001, Russia became the first country to sign a strategic partnership with Vietnam.
Regional and global issues will also feature on the agenda, the Russian state news agency TASS reported. Following the meeting, a joint statement will be adopted and a number of bilateral documents will be signed, it added.
Russia is Vietnam’s biggest weapons supplier, and military and security relations are expected to figure in talks.
![travel vietnam indochina Le Kim Phuong, 60, and Le Thu Hong, 62 prepare Russian national flags ahead of Russian President Vladimir Putin's visit to Vietnam, in Hanoi, Vietnam, June 18, 2024.

How strong are Vietnam-Russia ties?
Ties between the two countries date back to the Soviet Union, which was Hanoi’s biggest weapons supplier – a position that Russia today still occupies.
The Soviet Union’s military support was critical to the Communist Party of Vietnam during key historical events, including the First and Second Indochina Wars against France and the US.
However, the relationship between the two goes beyond its military scope.
“They were once on the same side of history, they shared the same ideology against Western capitalism and imperialism. And the legacy of shared ideology is still there,” said Huong Le Thu, International Crisis Group’s deputy programme director for Asia.
The Soviet Union used to host tens of thousands of Vietnamese students during the Cold War, including the current head of the Communist Party, Nguyen Phu Trong.
Hanoi’s architecture also has a Soviet touch, such as the museum of modern Vietnam’s founding father Ho Chi Minh, and an imposing Vietnam-Soviet Friendship Cultural Palace, built in the late 1970s.
What is Vietnam’s position on Ukraine?
Since the start of the war in 2022 , Vietnam has officially taken a neutral stance.
“Vietnam has tried to cultivate a careful balance in the Ukraine war between not disrupting ties with Russia as a traditional partner while also signalling that it takes principles like territorial integrity seriously,” said Parameswaran.
As a victim of large occupying or invading powers – the US, France, Japan and China – over the past 80 years, Vietnam holds a country’s sovereignty and territorial integrity being inviolable as a sacrosanct principle.
The centrality of those principles is something that Vietnam has repeatedly underscored at global meetings discussing the Ukraine war, in veiled criticisms of Russia’s war – even though it has not condemned Moscow.
There is also a shared history, and a degree of sympathy, between Vietnam and Ukraine, which was also part of the Soviet Union, say analysts. Ukraine too used to supply weapons to Hanoi and cultural ties meant that many Vietnamese studied in Ukraine forming a large diaspora. Vietnam has supplied humanitarian aid to Ukraine through international organisations during the war.
Yet, Vietnam skipped the Ukraine peace summit last week and abstained on four resolutions at the UN General Assembly condemning Russia’s invasion of its neighbouring country. It also voted against removing Moscow from the UN Human Rights Council.
“Vietnam guides its foreign policy based on its historical legacies and its own interests – it wants to showcase that it’s able to receive Chinese, American and Russian leaders and that it is OK with being friends with anyone – it’s a multidimensional diplomacy,” Le Thu added.
The peak of such flexibility, which some experts called “bamboo diplomacy”, came last year when US President Joe Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping visited the country. Bamboo, which grows widely in Vietnam, is known for its ability to bend as needed – without snapping – serving as a metaphor for the country’s foreign policy.

What is the US response to Putin’s visit to Vietnam?
The US is a top trade partner of Vietnam and has not taken Putin’s visit well.
“No country should give Putin a platform to promote his war of aggression and otherwise allow him to normalise his atrocities,” a US embassy spokesperson in Hanoi told the Reuters news agency. “If he is able to travel freely, it could normalise Russia’s blatant violations of international law,” they added.
The visit to Vietnam is a rare occasion for Putin to travel outside Russia since the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued a warrant for his arrest over alleged war crimes in Ukraine. The warrant means that any signatory to the ICC must arrest the Russian president should he step into their territory. Vietnam is not an ICC member.
What is China’s role in all of this?
As the war in Ukraine drags into a third year, Moscow’s political and economic dependence on China has deepened. This is relevant to Vietnam, which has a dispute with China in the South China Sea. Beijing claims jurisdiction rights to maritime resources on certain Vietnamese territories rich in oil and gas reserves.
This is where Russia comes into the picture. Two of its energy companies are involved in upstream projects in some of the contested zones.
“Vietnam is concerned that as a result of Russia’s growing dependence on China, Beijing could use its leverage with Moscow to undermine Vietnamese interests. This would include increased pressure on the Kremlin to withdraw its state-owned energy companies,” Ian Storey, a fellow at the Institute of Southeast Asian Studies, wrote in a research paper in March.
Putin signs deals with Vietnam in bid to shore up ties in Asia
- Copy Link URL Copied!
Russian President Vladimir Putin signed at least a dozen deals with his Vietnamese counterpart on Thursday and offered to supply fossil fuels including natural gas to Vietnam for the long term during a state visit that comes as Moscow is seeking to bolster ties in Asia to offset its growing international isolation over its war on Ukraine.
Putin and President To Lam agreed to further cooperate in education, science and technology, oil and gas exploration, clean energy and health. The two countries also agreed to work on a road map for a nuclear sci-ence and technology center in Vietnam. Of the 12 publicly announced agreements, none overtly pertained to defense. But Lam said there were other deals that were not made public.
After their talks, Putin said the two countries share an interest in “developing a reliable security architecture” in the Asia-Pacific region with no room for “closed military-political blocs.” Lam added that both Russia and Vietnam wanted to “further cooperate in defense and security to cope with nontraditional security challenges.”
World & Nation
Russia and North Korea pledge mutual aid if either country faces ‘aggression’
The agreement, which includes a vow of mutual aid if either country faces ‘aggression,’ appears to be the strongest since the Cold War.
June 19, 2024
The agreements between Russia and Vietnam were not as substantial as the pact Putin signed with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un the previous day, which pledged mutual aid in the event of invasion, said Nigel Gould-Davies, a senior fellow for Russia and Eurasia with the International Institute for Strategic Studies in London and a former British ambassador to Belarus.
Putin’s recent visits to China and now North Korea and Vietnam are attempts to “break the international isolation,” said Nguyen Khac Giang, an analyst at Singapore’s ISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute.
Giang said Russia is important to Vietnam for two reasons: It is the biggest supplier of military equipment to the Southeast Asian nation, and Russian oil exploration technologies help maintain Vietnam’s sovereignty claims in the contested South China Sea.
Vietnam also has licensed the Russian state-controlled oil company Zarubezhneft to develop underwater fields off its southeastern coast.

Russia President Vladimir Putin makes rare visit to North Korea
Putin, making his first trip to North Korea in 24 years, was met at Pyongyang’s airport by North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, according to news agencies.
June 18, 2024
Putin arrived in Hanoi on Thursday morning from North Korea after signing the strategic pact with Kim, which comes as both countries face escalating standoffs with the West and could mark their strongest connection since the end of the Cold War.
In Hanoi, Putin also met Vietnam’s most powerful politician, Communist Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong, and Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh, according to the official Vietnam News Agency.
As Putin arrived at Vietnam’s Presidential Palace on Thursday afternoon, he was greeted by schoolchildren waving Russian and Vietnamese flags.
Much has changed since Putin’s last visit to Vietnam in 2017. Russia now faces a raft of U.S.-led sanctions for its invasion of Ukraine. In 2023, the International Criminal Court in The Hague issued an arrest warrant for Putin for alleged war crimes, making it difficult for the Russian leader to travel internationally. The Kremlin rejected the warrant as “null and void,” stressing that Moscow doesn’t recognize the court’s jurisdiction.

Putin’s trip resulted in a sharp rebuke from the U.S. Embassy in Vietnam, which said that “no country should give Putin a platform to promote his war of aggression and otherwise allow him to normalize his atrocities.” If Putin is allowed to travel freely, it “could normalize Russia’s blatant violations of international law,” it said in a statement.
The U.S. and its allies have expressed growing concerns over a possible arms arrangement in which North Korea provides Russia with badly needed munitions for use in Ukraine in exchange for Russian economic assistance and technology transfers that could enhance the threat posed by Kim’s nuclear weapons and missile programs.
Both countries deny accusations of weapons transfers, which would violate multiple U.N. Security Council sanctions that Russia previously endorsed.
It is unlikely that Vietnam would supply significant quantities of weapons to Russia and risk the progress that it has made with NATO members on military equipment, particularly the U.S., said Ridzwan Rahmat, a Singapore-based analyst with the defense intelligence company Janes.
“I would imagine Vietnam wouldn’t want to take a risk, inviting the wrath of Western countries by supplying the Russians,” Rahmat said.

Hanoi and Moscow have had diplomatic relations since 1950, and this year marks 30 years of a treaty establishing “friendly relations” between Vietnam and Russia. Prashanth Parameswaran, a fellow with the Wilson Center’s Asia Program, said Vietnam is “reinforcing” that relationship even while it diversifies with newer partners.
Evidence of the long relationship and its influence can be seen in Vietnamese cities like the capital, where many Soviet-style apartment blocks are now dwarfed by skyscrapers. A statue of Vladimir Lenin, the founder of the Soviet Union, stands in a park where kids skateboard every evening. Many in the Communist Party’s top leadership in Vietnam studied in Soviet universities, including party chief Trong.
In an article written for Nhan Dan, the official newspaper of Vietnam’s Communist Party, Putin thanked “Vietnamese friends for their balanced position on the Ukrainian crisis” and hailed the country as a “strong supporter of a fair world order” based on international law, equality and geopolitical noninterference.
Vietnam’s pragmatic policy of “bamboo diplomacy” — a phrase coined by Trong referring to the plant’s flexibility, bending but not breaking in the shifting headwinds of global geopolitics — is being increasingly tested.
North Korea stresses alignment with Russia against U.S. and says Putin could visit at an early date
The North Korean Foreign Ministry highlighted Putin’s intention to visit after meetings with the Russian president and foreign minister in Moscow last week.

A manufacturing powerhouse and an increasingly important player in global supply chains, Vietnam hosted both President Biden and Chinese leader Xi Jinping in 2023.
Putin’s visit is important for Hanoi on a diplomatic level, said Gould-Davies, the former ambassador.
“Perhaps for Vietnam it’s a matter of just showing that it’s able to maintain this very agile balance of its bamboo diplomacy,” he said. “Already in the course of a year they’ve hosted visits by the heads of state of the three most powerful countries in the world, which is pretty impressive.”
For Russia, the visit seems to have been more about optics, he said, as Moscow seeks to engage and influence other countries, particularly in the Global South.
“Since the war began, Putin has not been able to travel much or very far, and he’s made very few trips beyond the countries of the former Soviet space,” he said.
Vietnam has remained neutral on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. But neutrality is getting trickier.
South Korea’s spy agency says North shipped more than a million artillery shells to Russia
North Korea has sent more than a million artillery shells since August to Russia to help fuel its war on Ukraine, the South Korean spy agency says.

Vietnam needs support from the U.S. to advance its economic ambitions and diversify its defense ties, Parameswaran said. “It has to carefully calibrate what it does with Russia in an environment of rising tensions between Washington and Moscow.”
Bilateral trade between Russia and Vietnam totaled $3.6 billion in 2023, compared with $171 billion with China and $111 billion with the U.S.
Since the early 2000s, Russia has accounted for around 80% of Vietnam’s arms imports. This has been declining over the years due to Vietnamese attempts to diversify its supplies. But to entirely wean itself off Russia will take time, Giang said.
Given Putin’s international isolation, Vietnam is doing the Russian leader a “huge favor and may expect favors in return,” Andrew Goledzinowski, the Australian ambassador to Vietnam, wrote on social media platform X.
“Vietnam will always act in Vietnam’s interests and not anyone else’s,” he wrote.
