24 How to do Southeast Asia in 3 weeks Three countries. Three weeks. One epic trip. From buzzing cities to junglecovered ruins and sugar-soft beaches, this three-week journey through Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand is the dream itinerary to experience Southeast Asia in one hit. Begin in northern Vietnam, where the capital is loud, lively and unapologetically full-on. Hanoi greets you with honking horns, steaming bowls of pho and bright plastic stools scattered along pavements. Take a side trip to cruise otherworldly Halong Bay, winding down days with tai chi on deck. Then after a hit of coastal calm, it's south to Hoi An, a delightful UNESCO-listed town that’s as photogenic as it is peaceful. Lanterns hang across yellow-painted buildings, tailors call out from shopfronts and you can try your hand at cooking Vietnamese dishes from scratch. Swords Travel Magazine | Spring / Summer 2025
