Thailand, Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia 3 Month Backpacking Trip

Thailand, Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia 3 Month Backpacking Trip

Abi
This is a map of all the places I went to on my 3 month backpacking trip. We flew into Bangkok then island hopped in south Thailand for 2 weeks before flying up to Chiang Mai to explore north Thailand for 2 weeks. Next stop was northern Laos for just over 2 weeks where we got the slow boat from Thailand to Luang Prabang. After Laos was an overnight bus to Hanoi in northern Vietnam where we worked our way down to the south over 3 weeks. Finally finishing in Cambodia for 3 weeks and then bus back to Bangkok to fly home. This map includes recommendations of things to do, places to stay and restaurant recommendations too. I have added in information about the visas, currency, how to get around and important tips and tricks we learnt along the way. You can fit in a lot less than you think when backpacking so this is a realistic map of what is achievable in 3 months.

Thailand

Recommend 30 days 

Uses Thai Bhat as currency - definitely helpful to take bhat out before you get to Thailand as the ATM fees are very high. You can sometimes get the best rate at the currency exchange shops so take out your own currency too to exchange when you are there.

For British citizens the visa is free for 30 days. You can also leave the country for 24 hours and when you reenter you get another 30 days, you can do this 3 times. 

Bangkok 

3-4 nights 

We started and ended our trip here as flights were the cheapest from Bangkok

I recommend finding accommodation near one of the train lines as this is the cheapest and quickest way to travel around Bangkok. There is a lot of traffic so driving takes triple the time you think it will.
