What are the typical attractions covered in Bangkok before heading to Vietnam?

Visitors to Bangkok start their journey at the city's most significant Buddhist temples. The route includes the gold-spired Wat Phra Kaew which houses the revered Emerald Buddha the sprawling Wat Pho complex with its 46-meter reclining Buddha and Wat Arun rising majestically along the riverbank. Most tours include a traditional long-tail boat excursion on the Chao Phraya River followed by a visit to the bustling Damnoen Saduak floating market. As one TourRadar traveler noted: "The guides were knowledgeable and friendly and the temples in Bangkok were absolutely stunning."

What's the typical length of Bangkok, Vietnam tours starting from Bangkok?

Tour durations range from 9 to 20 days with most visitors choosing 12-16 day itineraries. These schedules allow time to experience both countries' key destinations from Bangkok's ancient temples to Vietnam's landscape of limestone karsts in Halong Bay and the meandering waterways of the Mekong Delta. A guest at The Myst Dong Khoi Hotel in Ho Chi Minh City shared: "The 16-day journey gave us plenty of time to explore each destination thoroughly without feeling rushed."

How many days do tours typically spend in Bangkok before continuing to Vietnam?

Bangkok serves as a 2-3 day introduction before the Vietnam portion begins. Visitors usually stay at centrally located properties like the Nouvo City Hotel or Hotel By Burasari which provide easy access to main attractions. According to TourRadar reviews: "Having 3 days in Bangkok was perfect to see the main sights and get oriented before heading to Vietnam."

What type of accommodation can I expect in Bangkok and Vietnam?
