Private TourEssential Indochina: 10 Days in Thailand, Cambodia & Vietnam

Private TourShared roots, distinct identities: once part of French Indochina (except Thailand, the only nation never colonized), all four share Buddhist traditions while maintaining unique languages, cuisines, and lifestyles.
Easy connections: short flights and overland routes link Hanoi, Luang Prabang, Siem Reap, and Bangkok, making multi-country journeys seamless.
Spiritual and cultural harmony: from ancient pagodas to colorful markets and floating villages, each country reflects the spirit of Southeast Asia.
A journey rich in history, flavor, and heart: cruise through Ha Long Bay, wander Angkor’s ruins, drift along the Mekong, and unwind on Thailand’s golden beaches.

Each country has its own rules, so check every one on your route.

Fourteen days is the practical minimum for three countries, and at that length each stop is short. Eighteen to twenty-one days is the length most travellers choose: enough for Vietnam from north to south, the Angkor temples, and Bangkok with either the northern hills around Chiang Mai or a few nights on a southern island. Adding Laos as a fourth country needs three weeks or more, because Luang Prabang deserves at least three nights and the flights between countries take up time of their own. Below two weeks we would normally suggest dropping a country rather than compressing them all.
November to March is the window that works across all four. Cambodia, Laos and Thailand share a broadly similar pattern, with a dry season running from about November to April and rains from May to September or October. Vietnam is the complication, because it runs north to south through several climate zones and the regions do not share a season:
October to November and mid-March to May are usually the most comfortable overall there. Travel in the rainy months still works, since showers are normally short and fall in the afternoon, and you will find greener landscapes, lower prices and fewer people at the main sites.
Between countries we normally fly, because the distances are long and the overland crossings eat into your time. Within Vietnam we use Vietnam Airlines or Bamboo Airways and avoid low-cost carriers, so that the service and the baggage rules are predictable. Allowances differ by airline and route, but typically run from 7 to 12 kg of hand luggage and 20 to 23 kg checked, with excess charged per kilo at check-in. The exact carriers, routings and allowances for your trip are confirmed with your final itinerary.
No, and it is worth checking the itinerary before you choose. Some of the trips on this page cover all four countries, while others combine Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand without Laos. The destination list under each tour shows exactly where it goes. If you want Laos included and the itinerary you like does not have it, we can add Luang Prabang or Vientiane to the route, which usually means three or four extra days.
Yes. Every trip we run is private, so the itineraries on this page are starting points rather than fixed departures. You can change the order of the countries, swap destinations, lengthen or shorten any part of the route, and choose the standard of hotels. A travel consultant works through it with you until the plan fits your dates, your interests and your budget.
Quoted prices are based on a group of four travellers staying in standard hotels, and they do not include international flights. Because the trips are private, the final price depends on when you travel, the category of hotels you choose and above all the number of people in your group: the same itinerary costs less per person for a group of six than for a couple. On a route crossing three or four countries the internal flights make up a large share of the total, so the dates and the order of the countries affect the price more than on a single-country trip.
