- 4 stays
- sample itinerary
Two weeks, two countries: Bangkok, then the Andaman coast at Khao Lak, then Vietnam from south to north — Ho Chi Minh City and five nights in Hanoi. It starts from Bangalore.
It is a sample itinerary — a starting point, not a timetable. The hotels and flights are real, and timetables change, so check them before you book. Open it in the planner and it becomes a trip of your own, starting a month from today.

How the route fits together
Three nights in Bangkok, two by the sea at Khao Lak, then across to Vietnam and up it: three nights in Ho Chi Minh City and five in Hanoi. Every move after Bangkok is a short flight.
Bangkok has two airports
The flight from Bangalore lands at Suvarnabhumi. The flight on to Phuket leaves from Don Mueang, Bangkok’s other airport — easy to miss when booking, and a long way from the first.
Khao Lak from Phuket
Khao Lak has no airport; the nearest is Phuket, about 95 km and an hour and a half away by road. In the planner the Khao Lak stay carries Phuket’s airport code, HKT, which is how it knows the Phuket flights are the ones that get you there and away.
Before you book
The times in this plan are indicative. Timetables change, so check the current ones before you book. The flight home leaves Hanoi at 03:10, so the last night is a short one.
Check the entry requirements for your own passport with an official source before you go — for both countries. They are deliberately not written here: they change, and a wrong one would be worse than none.
What the planner does with it
Open the plan and the planner reads the whole trip. Every night has a bed and every move has a journey, so it has nothing to flag. Change a date and it will tell you what breaks — a night with nowhere to sleep, or two cities with nothing booked to carry you between them.
