Tips

If you wish to extend the trip, consider adding a week in the Philippines to explore Palawan’s remote islands or a few days in Myanmar to visit Bagan and Inle Lake. To shorten the itinerary, you can combine Vietnam’s north and south routes by flying between Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, and reduce the number of island stops in Thailand and the Philippines, focusing on the highlights of each country. Adjust the pace based on your interest in cultural sites versus beach relaxation.
