Bangkok to Ho Chi Minh City

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

The Bangkok to Ho Chi Minh City route is one of Southeast Asia's most popular overland and multi-modal journeys, connecting Thailand's chaotic, vibrant capital with Vietnam's bustling southern metropolis. Travellers pass through or near highlights such as Cambodia's Angkor Wat, the Mekong Delta, and a string of coastal towns, making the route as rewarding as the destinations themselves. Along the way, independent travellers can expect a mix of street food culture, ancient temples, tropical landscapes, and buzzing city nightlife. The journey is a classic Southeast Asian adventure, equally suited to backpackers on a budget and those seeking a more curated travel experience.

Cycle Southeast Asia: Bangkok to Ho Chi Minh City — Self-Launched

This self-launched version of Exodus's classic Bangkok-to-Saigon cycling journey covers the same three-country route — Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam — at a fraction of the cost. You'll cycle through rural Thai landscapes, explore the Angkor temple complex by bike, pay your respects at Phnom Penh's Killing Fields, and wind through the Mekong Delta to Ho Chi Minh City. Instead of group tour operators and packaged transport, you'll hire your own bike locally, book budget guesthouses along the route, and use public buses, shared taxis and local ferries to connect the dots. All the highlights, none of the premium price tag. Costs below are estimated per person and assume solo travel with shared dorm or budget double rooms.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Bangkok to Ho Chi Minh City yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Learn the first 20 seconds of a local dance, then perform it, uninvited, at every bar you visit."
