Everything You Need To Know About VIETNAM!

This amazing, penultimate 24-day itinerary was a #wanderlist celebration trip we planned and traveled, as it had always been a dream of ours to spend over 3-weeks touring an area of the world we had yet to experience so to try to gain a greater immersion into the culture.

This is a day-by-day itinerary that includes tours, hotel recommendations, restaurant/bar recommendations and tips to traverse through 3 impressive countries and engage with their individual culture, food, nature, and people.

This itinerary includes highlights like cruising the Mekong Delta on your own private house boat, attending a Thai boxing match, standing in awe in front of Angkor Wat, scuba diving in the area of the Phi Phi islands, and so much more.

This itinerary can be customized and modifed as needed for your travel time, and you can even just focus on one country if you choose. Therefore, you get a bonus of three country itineraries in one package. Enjoy!
