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.

Whether you're a history enthusiast, a foodie seeking new flavors, or a wanderer craving the thrill of undiscovered paths, Vietnam welcomes you with open arms!

"Vietnam Unveiled" is not just a guide; it's an open invitation to let Vietnam captivate your senses and leave an indelible mark on your soul. First time in Vietnam ? You'll need to know that the country stretches approximately 1,650 kilometers (1,025 miles) from its northernmost point to its southernmost point. Therefore, realistically, to experience the essence of Vietnam without feeling rushed, I'd recommend a minimum of 30 days. This timeframe allows you to traverse the length and breadth of the country, absorbing the diverse cultures, indulging in regional cuisines, and savoring the breathtaking landscapes. However, if time is a constraint, fear not! Vietnam is a country that graciously offers a myriad of choices. In the pages that follow, you'll find curated itineraries that cater to various timelines. Whether you have a week, two weeks, or more, we've tailored suggestions to ensure you make the most of your time, even if you have to make choices between regions. Enjoy!
