9 Day Southeast Asia Itinerary, incl. Ho Chi Minh City and Angkor Wat
A rich 9-day route connects 5 destinations from Ho Chi Minh City to Bangkok. The tour features Mekong Delta cruises, Angkor Wat sunrise tours, and traditional Khmer meals.
- Day 1
Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
Your Southeast Asia adventure begins in Ho Chi Minh City. Plan for a 45-minute trip from the airport to the city center. Traffic can double this time during rush hour. A guest mentioned: "The hotel in Saigon was centrally located, but request a room away from street noise for better rest after the long flight."
- Day 2
Mekong Delta Day Trip
Head out for a full-day trip to the Mekong Delta. The journey takes 2-3 hours each way. You'll visit local candy factories and take boat rides through villages. One visitor noted: "Getting close to the honey bees and sampling local produce was a highlight of the Mekong cruise." Don't forget insect repellent and a hat for protection from the strong delta sun.
- Day 3
Ho Chi Minh City to Phnom Penh
Leave early for Cambodia. Budget about 2 hours for the border crossing plus 3 hours to reach Phnom Penh. Take an evening cyclo tour to see the city. Travel tip: Bring $50 in USD for your visa and two passport photos to speed up the border process.
- Day 4
Phnom Penh
Visit the Killing Fields and S-21 Prison in the morning. Use the afternoon to explore the Royal Palace ($10) or Central Market. One traveler shared: "The Grand Palace at night during the cyclo tour was spectacular." The riverside cafes are perfect after 4 PM when it's cooler.
- Days 5-7
Siem Reap & Angkor Wat
Take a six-hour drive to Siem Reap. You'll have two full days to explore Angkor's temples. Watch the sunrise at Angkor Wat by arriving at 5 AM. Visit Ta Prohm early on your second day to avoid crowds. A recent visitor suggested: "The heat between 11 AM-3 PM is intense – use this time for lunch and pool breaks at your hotel. The Nagara Angkor Boutique hotel's pool was perfect for afternoon cooldowns."
- Days 8-9
Bangkok
Travel four hours to Bangkok through the Cambodia-Thai border. Spend your final day exploring Bangkok. While the hotel near Chinatown offers peace and quiet, it's not close to main attractions. Look into the Sukhumvit area if you want to stay longer.
10 Day Southeast Asia Itinerary, incl. Bangkok and Ho Chi Minh City
Southeast Asia unfolds over 10 days at approx. $90 per day. The route flows from Bangkok through Cambodia's Angkor Wat and Phnom Penh to Vietnam's Ho Chi Minh City. Highlights include Koh Rong island stay, Chambok Village homestay, and street food tours.
- Day 1
Bangkok, Thailand
Bangkok is your first stop in Southeast Asia. "The energy of Bangkok hits you immediately - make sure to get your bearings with a walk around the Khao San Road area in the evening," shares a recent visitor. Take it easy today and rest up for tomorrow's early start.
- Days 2-3
Siem Reap & Angkor Wat, Cambodia
After a 3-hour drive to cross into Cambodia, you'll arrive in Siem Reap. A traveler recommends: "Watching the monks collect alms at sunrise was humbling. Bring a shawl—it gets chilly in the morning." Start your Angkor tour at 5:30 AM for sunrise views before the crowds arrive. Pack plenty of water and wear clothing that covers your shoulders and knees.
- Days 4-5
Phnom Penh
Take the 6-hour bus ride to Cambodia's capital city. "The street food crawl in Phnom Penh was incredible - try the fresh coconut curry at the night market," one visitor suggests. Visit Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum in the morning when it's quieter. The Royal Palace is best visited after 2 PM when most tour groups leave.
- Days 6-7
Koh Rong Island
Travel to the coast (4-5 hours) and catch a ferry to Koh Rong. Weather might affect this part of the trip during monsoon season (June-October). A traveler notes: "The bioluminescent plankton are amazing, but you need to book a separate night boat trip to see them - around $10 per person."
- Day 8
Chambok Village Homestay
Experience authentic rural life in Chambok. "The home-cooked dinner was the best meal of our entire trip," according to one visitor. Pack modest clothing and bring a small gift for your hosts. Expect basic accommodations with shared facilities and floor mattresses.
- Days 9-10
Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
The journey to Vietnam takes about 7 hours including border crossing. One traveler advises: "Get to Ben Thanh Market before 9 AM when it's cooler and less crowded. The rooftop bars on Nguyen Hue Walking Street offer amazing city views at sunset."

The journey was a dream. It certainly wasn't a luxurious vacation, but one could experience so much like never before. Seeing the side of Cambodia where there isn't much, yet everyone is happy and giving their best made our tour fantastic. It was incredible, and I can recommend it to everyone.A special thanks goes to our CEO Sarou, who made the journey even more enjoyable than ever. The only thing that slightly irritated me was the additional transfer I booked. There was no information upon my arrival, and for the departure, it arrived too late, nearly causing me to miss my flight due to the airport's busyness. Also, remember to carry more cash with you, as every single day you might end up paying an extra $20 for an activity that wasn't really mentioned.
- Golden Triangle of Indochina In 10 Days (Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos)
I went on the Golden Triangle of Indochina In 10 Days (Cambodia,Vietnam,Laos) tour organized by Realistic Asia. I was looking for a multi country tour that was not too long. And found Realistic Asia. I was a bit hesitant as I was not familiar with them but decided to give them a try. As soon as I booked the trip, I was supported all the way before I even stepped foot in the first country. All my questions were answered. I was periodically checked on by the organizer during the trip. Thanks Long! The tour was private in Cambodia and Laos with just a driver and a guide. In Vietnam I joined independent group tours. In Cambodia, I had Pheng as my guide. He was very knowledgeable. His historical knowledge is vast and goes beyond just Cambodia. He great and genuine interest in my country. In Laos, I had Phet as my guide. Also knowledgeable and very helpful. He went above and beyond by standing by when I was checking in and going through the passport control process at the airport when I was leaving. The accommodation was great. Shout out to the Staff and manager of Hari Residence and Spa in Siem Reap who take customer service to exceptional levels. They are the one of the kindest hotel staff I have ever met. All in all I would recommend Realistic Asia to family and friends. Thank you for making this trip memorable. Thank you Long, Pheng and Phet!
