Hi, Im sorry but I dont think that so little time in each place is a good idea at all. I understand that you want to see it all in a short time but I dont think you will see anything with such little time.

Better to just got to Thailand and a trip to Angkor for a few days but if not try some of this.....

1 day in Bangkok - Start early, go to the Grand palace then wat po, then wat arrun and then that could take you to the afternoon depends on how fast you walk! Like Thai food? Eat at any street stall with other Thais eating there. You could get another attraction in in the after noon and then in the evening go to sun lum night bazzar / patpong (this is thi culture!) or Ko san road (depending on what you like)

I would love to recommend you loads of places to see in BKK like the baiyoke sky tower, sukhumvit area, and various other wats and monuments but in one day you aren't gonna see much, not properly anyway.

3 Days in Chiang Mai is a bit more Time. If you like elephants their are a few places to see them such as Mae Teang (north of CM) and they have river raft rides and off road 4x4 and that sort of thing. That could take you a day. In the evening go see the night bazzar in chang klan. A couple of other things in chaing mai are Wat Doi Suthep, CM Zoo and a tour of the old walls and inner-city temples. There are other things around chiang mai as well you could arrange a day trip to.

2 days at Angkor! That is not enough. I love this place and have been a couple of times and will be going back again. Heres a list of the best *in my opinion* places to see in the 'angkor thom area' as they are all together. I think you will be wasting time going to the further-away temples.

Angkor Wat.
Ta Prom.
Bayon. (And Angkor Thom)
Preah Khan.

A boat trip on Tonal Sap is worth the effort to get to and for grub the Red Piano has some of the best asian food! (when we went anyway) A vist to the 'old market' in the centre is worth it too and the Cambodia Culture Centre is and interesting place.

Heres some photos of Seam Reap & Angkor Wat. (and check my other albums for Thailand, malaysia, Loas, Indonesia ect..)

Hope some of this helps and let us know how it goes. ;)

Take a look into Bangkok Airway's Discovery AirPass -- could save you quite a bit with your flights.

I think nixing Hanoi is a good idea -- 15 days will be far more comfortable doing North thailand, LP and Siem reap than trying to fit Vietnam in as well.
