Southeast Asia is a great place to visit. Presented below is a Southeast Asia itinerary for 3 weeks. You may spread your travel schedule across tourist hot spots like Thailand, Vietnam, and Cambodia.
- Thailand
Thailand is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Southeast Asia. Every year millions of visitors pour into the country from all corners of the globe to revel in all the delights this beautiful country has on offer, from the modern ambiance of the cities to the pristine calm of cultural countryside. You may begin by checking out Bangkok, then proceed to Chiang Mai, and later relax and party at the gorgeous beach towns.
Bangkok is one place that will really surprise you. It is not just like any other big contemporary city. It is an eclectic assault on the senses; you will be amazed by the people, the vibrant nightlife, the colors, the traditions, and the hectic pace of the city. Tourists may check out the visually enchanting floating markets, take a stroll across varied temples, shop at malls, visit the majestic Royal palace, and enjoy the trips to some of the best weekend markets in the world. Do not forget to go for a Thai Massage.
The city of Chiang Mai is located in northern Thailand and a favorite tourist destination. It is surrounded by picturesque lush green landscape full of hidden gems and steeped in culture and tradition. The city may not be as busy as Bangkok, but it is just as much vibrant and full of life. Nature lovers can hire a bike or a motorcycle and go riding across the stunning countryside, or you may take a trek along the many trails. Couples will really enjoy cooking classes, wherein you will learn on how to make delicious Thai dishes.
Tourists can then travel down south towards the beach resort cities of Phuket or the beautiful Islands of Koh Sumai or Phi Phi. You can relax and unwind at the pristine sandy beaches with clear blue waters while sipping on tropical refreshments and gorging on culinary delights. You may go for boat rides, enjoy the sunshine, and get an enviable tan! You can also enjoy varied water sports, including snorkeling, scuba diving, jet skiing, etc.
- Vietnam
Vietnam is a magical country that will captivate you. It has everything on offer for tourists; you will enjoy the vibrancy of Hanoi as well as find peace in idyllic and charming Hoi An. You will also love treks across Sapa lined with rice terraces and insights into the rural life at Mekong Delta’s fabulous floating markets. One of the best attractions of Vietnam is its cuisine; it is simply a delight for the taste buds.
Hanoi is a lively city, but the chaos all around can also be dizzying. The hectic traffic and people crammed into tiny spaces can be shocking. But it all seems to flow along seamlessly. You can wander around different places like the Old Quarter and check out the different sights and sounds. Later you can wind up with dinner and drinks at any good restaurant.
Hoi An is a quaint, small, ancient town that you will fall in love with as soon as you land there. It has just about everything that tourists desire, namely, fine beaches, amazing shopping, lots of trinkets, good people, and awesome food. You can take a train ride to the town; during the train ride do not miss out on the absolutely breathtaking views of the coastline between Da Nang and Hue.
Halong Bay is a UNESCO World Heritage site and most famous for the wondrous cruises across its peaceful waters. The trip will be one of the most memorable ones during your 3 week foray into Southeast Asia. You can spend your time at Halong Bay trying out flavorful new foods, meeting amazing locals, visiting some amazing attractions, and going for joyous rides on bamboo boats.
Ho Chi Minh City or Saigon is one of the largest metropolises in Southeast Asia. It is bustling and busy and definitely different from the more relaxed ambiance of other Vietnamese towns. Saigon is full of history and culture. Tourists should check out the Reunification Palace and the War Remnants Museum. You should also delight your palate with the renowned iced coffee of Vietnam prepared with condensed milk!
- Cambodia
Cambodia is a country that you must visit just to feel and admire the resilience of a nation and its people who overcame years of famine and genocide. The people of Cambodia are welcoming and kind and its cuisine is also simply awesome!
Siem Reap is where the famous Angkor Wat is located. It is one of the great archeological and cultural destinations on the planet. It is best to fly to Siem Reap as inland travelling can be very tiresome. Besides the Angkor Wat, the quaint city is known for its massages, restaurants, varied temples, and delicious fruit shakes!
Phnom Penh is the capital city and is known for its rich traditions and culture as well as its horrific past. Besides other attractions, you should visit the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum; it may be emotionally draining, but do visit.
