    Bangkok to Siem reap: use the Poipet crossing. Detailed here

    Phnom Penh to HCM: Direct bus between the two, simple as pie.

    Hanoi to Luang Prabang: Three overland crossings, all time consuming and a tad uncomfortable. They're all detailed in the Visa and border crossing FAQ

    Luang Prabang to Chiang Mai: detailed here (you'll have to read it backwards)

    Don't forget you'll need to get your Vn visa in advance (suggest getting it in Phnom Penh)

    Cheers
