Ho Chi Minh City to Bangkok

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

The classic Ho Chi Minh City to Bangkok overland route is one of Southeast Asia's most popular travel corridors, passing through the heart of Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand. Travellers typically move through iconic stops like the Mekong Delta, Phnom Penh, and Siem Reap before crossing into Thailand, taking in ancient temples, river landscapes, and bustling city life along the way. The route suits independent travellers and groups alike, offering a mix of history, street food, nightlife, and cultural landmarks such as Angkor Wat and the Khmer Rouge memorial sites. It can be done in as little as two weeks but rewards those with more time to slow down and explore.

Saigon to Bangkok Self-Launched: 10 Days Through Vietnam, Cambodia & Thailand

This self-launched version of On The Go Tours' popular Saigon to Bangkok route covers the same incredible highlights — Mekong Delta boat trips, the Cu Chi Tunnels, Phnom Penh's sobering history, the temples of Angkor, and Bangkok's golden palaces — at a fraction of the guided tour price. You'll swap the group coach for local buses, shared minivans and budget flights, and trade 4-star hotels for well-rated guesthouses and hostels. Everything is bookable independently via GetYourGuide, Klook, or direct with local operators. All costs are approximate estimates per person.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Ho Chi Minh City to Bangkok yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Learn the first 20 seconds of a local dance, then perform it, uninvited, at every bar you visit."
