Thailand, Laos, Vietnam & Cambodia

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, and Cambodia form the heart of mainland Southeast Asia, each offering a distinct blend of ancient temples, lush landscapes, and vibrant street culture. Thailand draws visitors with its bustling cities, world-class beaches, and renowned cuisine, while Vietnam stretches along a dramatic coastline dotted with limestone karsts, rice terraces, and historic towns like Hội An and Hà Nội. Cambodia is home to Angkor Wat — one of the world's great archaeological wonders — alongside warm communities and wild river systems, and landlocked Laos offers a slower pace with sacred Buddhist sites, the Mekong River, and forested mountains. Together, the four countries make a classic backpacker corridor, popular for multi-week overland journeys combining culture, history, nature, and adventure.

38-Day Grand South East Asia Loop: Self-Launched Edition

A self-launched version of Stray Asia's 38-day Bangkok-to-Siem Reap loop across four countries, recreating the same route — Bangkok canals and sleeper train, Chiang Mai's elephant sanctuary, the Mekong slow boat into Laos, Luang Prabang and Vang Vieng, Vientiane, then Vietnam's Halong Bay, Ninh Binh, Phong Nha, Hue, Hoi An, Bai Xep beach, Saigon and the Mekong Delta, finishing in Cambodia via Phnom Penh, Kampot, Koh Rong and Angkor Wat. Every guided element is replaced with self-bookable equivalents (Elephant Nature Park direct, hostel-run tours, GetYourGuide/Klook day trips, local buses, trains and ferries). Costs are rough per-person estimates for shared dorm or budget twin rooms and local transport — book as you go and you'll spend a fraction of the group tour price.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Thailand, Laos, Vietnam & Cambodia 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."
