How Long Will It Take ?

The adventure outlined in this video will take a minimum of 35 days to complete, and maybe much longer if you want to laze away your time on many of the beaches you will visit.

Where Will You Visit ?

Along the way you will visit:

– four of southeast asia’s lesser known exotic islands –Ko Samet, Ko Chang, Koh Rong and Phu Quoc;

– five diverse river towns at Khemerak Phoumin, Kampot, Ha Tien, Can Tho and My Tho and;

– two mainland coastal resorts at Pattaya,and Sihanoukville.

– before finishing your journey in Ho Chi Minh City, the city of motorbikes.

How Do I Go About Doing All This ?

With still relatively cheap air tickets from major European cities you can be at Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi airport in around 16 hours or less. Most UK citizens and those of many other western countries, travelling as tourists, either don’t need a visa or can easily obtain one online or on arrival at each country’s entry points so what are you waiting for. (UK government advice regarding visa regulations for entering Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam can be found here).
