If I was going to go back to Vietnam, I would skip HCMC all together if I only had 7 days, fly into Hanoi, much more to see and do, do a day trip to ninh binh , ha long bay and spend the rest of the time in Hanoi….
Gosh, it’s doable but it’s more like a tick and flick list than a holiday. Most of the time you’ll be travelling. We are doing Vietnam (3 weeks in total) and this will be our second time. We left Cambodia for another time as I feel 5 days (that’s how many the other trip had) wouldn’t have done it justice.
It’s just a week. I’d barely leave my own country for a one week holiday.
7 days. I would pick one country… but if you really want to do both,.. I would do 3 nights in Ho Chi Minh (skip mui ne) and 3 nights in siem reap (flying between)
Spending so much time on airport not enjoying the country but Rushing . It is a stressful vacation
Immerse in Ho Chi Minh. 🙂
Nah if its Phnom Phen Cambodia youre travelling (closest from.HCM), dont. Theres not much to see or enjoy unlike if its in Siem Reap.
Cambodia from HCMC would just be “somewhere” in the south. For me Cambodia fell into 4 main areas (Siem Reap for Angkor Wat & temples, Phnom Penh for Khmer Rouge related historical sites, Kampot for the river & Koh Rong for the islands). If you are only doing a day it has to be Siem Reap which has to be a flight from HCMC only PP would be possible by bus & then you’d need a full day to visit the Khmer Rouge sites. I’ve also visited Mui Ne (as a stop over on way to Da Lat) and I wouldn’t do it as a day trip! Better to spend a day doing Chu Chi Tunnels and and another on a good Mekong Delta tour (ours wasn’t great so research this). The Reunification Palace was also interesting
Are you kidding ? You have 2 days in Vietnam. Why are you bothering to even go when there is so much to see?
Looks like you are just wasting your time. I guess it’s better to book for domestic flights if you really want to go to Cambodia.
