Planning a trip to Thailand and Vietnam
Pulled from the route below — so it says what it does, not what a brochure would.
When to go
Nov–Mar — the months this route recommends.
How long you need
Every route here runs 14 days.
What it costs
≈ AED 400 per person per day. Beds, food, getting around and things to do — costed line by line in each guide, not estimated from a daily rate.
Entry on an Indian passport
Two sets of rules on this trip, and both have to be sorted before you fly.
- Thailand: No visa needed, 30 days. Cut from 60 days on 15 September 2026, and a digital arrival card is required. Sources disagree on the current position — confirm with the Royal Thai Embassy.
- Vietnam: e-Visa online before you go, 90 days. Multiple entry allowed.
Checked 2026-11 against Wikipedia’s compilation of IATA Timatic entries. Entry rules depend on your passport and where you live, and they change with little notice — confirm with each embassy or your airline before you book. Check another country.
Where these routes go: Bangkok · Chiang Mai · Hanoi · Ha Long · Hoi An.

Thailand and Vietnam in 14 days: Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Hanoi, Ha Long and Hoi An
Bangkok → Chiang Mai → Hanoi → Ha Long → Hoi An
Thailand for six days and Vietnam for eight, joined by a two-hour flight. The temples and the night markets, then a limestone bay slept on and a tailoring town with lanterns — plus why this pairing beats the Thailand–Cambodia run, and the one month it does not work.
