What is the easiest way to get from Hoi An to Siem Reap during January?
I am assuming there is a place to cross into Laos and then into Cambodia?
What do you suggest?

Easiest way overland will be via Saigon -- will def. be faster than going via Laos. Can also fly -- Da Nang to Saigon and then to Siem Reap -- depends on your budget and how much time you have up your sleeve.
See the Visa and border crossing FAQ for info on individual border crossings.

I'm also interested in doing a similar thing... going through Laos before going through Vietnam (Hoi an southwards) before going through Cambodia and back to Thailand (where I am starting). Just posting on here to bookmark it for later
