Vietnam and Cambodia Planning
Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia notes
Vietnam:
ESIM for all three coutries with airalo.com, (looks good) Check out SAILY (data only) too. maya mobile (look at map) mobilmatter (all from the travelmaxing youtube guy. Install before arrival. see maxkuch.com mobi matter looks like a good option. Nomad is another. Viatel is good for phone calls too.
Cambodia
Rough Schedule
I’ve realized that October is still within Vietnam’s typhoon season. So while I originally planned to fly into Hanoi and spend a week there before heading to Cambodia, I might need a backup plan. If the weather looks rough in the north—around Sapa and the Ha Giang Loop—I may have to fly in to Hanoi, thenfly south instead. For now, here’s my current itinerary:
Fly from SLC to Hanoi
Hanoi – Suits and motorcycle (Full Hanoi day) nice dinner at Lamai
Plan day trip to Ha long bay cruise. Book TBD with weather.
Hanoi sites day 2 – Sleep in Hanoi eat at Tam VI or Hibana by Koki
Day trip to Ninh Binh from Hanoi – Sleep in Hanoi
Get up early in Hanoi and take a bus to Ha Giang
Start the Loop in the AM Day 1
Ha Giang Loop day 2
Ha Giang Loop Day 3
Ha Giang Loop 4 finish, then get to SAPA via Lao Cai
Day in Sapa
Time in SAPA the Get back to Hanoi – Sleep in Hanoi
4:20 PM Flight-Hanoi-Siem Reap
Day 1 Siem Reap
day 2 Siem Reap
Day 3 Siem Reap Last Night at Air BnB
Early Fly or Bus to Pehnom Phen hotel: tribe post office hotel
Full Day in Phenom Phen
Early Fly to HCM
day or two in HCM
Early Fly to Danang / Hoi An (need flight)
Hoi An Then back to Hanoi
We will see how this plan evolves.
