Hello,
I am traveling with my girlfriend from California to Southeast Asia in January/February (~55 days). Below is the itinerary we were thinking about following. I was looking for some thoughts from experienced travelers to this part of the world if this is possible, or if we should thin it out a little:
Vietnam
1. Flying into Hanoi (2-3 days)-- Ha Long Bay (3-4 days)
*1 Day Bus to Phang Na or 1Hr Flight*
2. Phong Nha/Ke Bang National Park/Hue (3 Days)
*4 Hr Bus or 2 Hr Train to Hoi An*
3. Hoi An/Da Nang (2-3 Days)
*Flight to Ho Chi Minh*
4. Ho Chi Minh/Phu Quoc Island/Mekong Delta (2-3 Days)
*Flight from Ho Chi Minh to Phnom Penh *
Cambodia
1. Phnom Penh (1/2 Day)
*4-5 Hr Bus to Kampot *
2. Kampot (3-4 Days)
*4-5 Hr Bus back to Phnom Penh*
3. Phnom Penh (1/2 Day)
*5 Hr Bus to Siem Reap *
4. Siem Reap & Angkor Wat (3 Days)
*Fly from Siem Reap to Vientiane *
Laos
1. Vientiane (2-3 Days)
*4 Hr Bus to Vang Vieng *
2. Vang Vieng (2-3 Days)
*8 Hr Bus to Louang Phabang*
3. Louang Phabang (2-3 Days)
*Bus, Train or Plane to Chiang Mai *
Thailand
1. Chiang Mai (3-4 Days)
*Overnight Train to Bangkok*
2. Bangkok (1/2 Day)
*Fly from Bangkok to Krabi*
3. Andaman Islands (5 Days)
From here we were thinking about flying to Bali/ Lambok for ~7-10 Days if we have time before flying to New Zealand.
Thanks in advance for your responses!

Hello there
From my research an alternative to:
Flight from Ho Chi Minh to Phnom Penh *
will be taking the bus. Almost as quick and much cheaper.
Enjoy

Good idea. Breaks up that long flight home.

Quite.
While it might be possible in theory, it looks like most of your time will be spent sitting on trains, buses and planes.
SE Asia is a very very easy place to wing it. You've obviously already done a lot of research so by all means take along your itinerary but use it as a transport reference guide, not as a timetable you need to stick to slavishly.
The only country you're going to need to get a visa in advance is the first one, Vietnam.
Land in Hanoi and take it from there.
