3 month South East Asia Itinerary - The Ultimate Island Hop
Click Here to consider Asian Itineraries’ 3 levels of travel packages
I often get asked for the “Ultimate” south east Asian itinerary. Where to go if time is not limited? as well as “how far could you keep going, on the same trip”.
Well, I think, the “ultimate” single journey through South East Asia, would be as follows;
Start in Singapore
Bus to Mersing via Johor Bahru
Ferry to Tioman Island,
Bus back to Malacca, then KL, Bukit Fraser, Cameron highlands and onto Penang.
Ferry to Langkawi, onward to Ko Lipe, Ko Ngai, Ko Lanta, Ko Phi Phi and then finally give boats a rest for a while at Phuket.
Minibus to Krabi, though to Khao Lak, Ferry detour out to the Similan Islands, back to Khao Lak, onto Khao Sok and the Surat Thani.
Ferry to Ko Samui, Ko Phangan and Ko Tao, then ferry on to Chumporn.
Train to Hua Hin, and then Bangkok and Ayuthaya.
Minibus to Pattaya, and Ko Samet, then onward to Ko Chang.
Minibus from there to Cambodia to Siam Reap then Phenom Penh and Sihanoukville.
Ferry to Phu Quoc in Vietnam, boat transfer via Mekong Delta to Ho Chi Mihn City.
Finally, head up the Vietnamese coast, via Mu Nie, Nga Trang, Hoi An and Hue
Train to Hanoi, and then bus and junk to Halong Bay and Catba Island.
Complete this sucker, and you will never want to visit another island again, for as long as you live! Any feedback on oversights would be appreciated!!


works for me

Hi. My wife and I want to (God willing) travel through SE Asia, China, etc end next year. Do you have some travel advice. WE need to go budget (since we are from South Africa). I have quite a few ideas, but dont want to miss any of the best places in that area. Whats the best way to figure out an itenary and then also other things like travelling to Phillipenes, the cheapest, yet not the slowest way. Maybe a cheap (yet safe) flight.. I dont know.
Thanks
