Wow @Zahid_Niyo !!! this country-hopping itinerary through Southeast Asia promises an exhilarating adventure. Waking up in the dynamic cityscape of Bangkok, then transitioning to the Cambodia, followed by the rich cultural and historic experience of Saigon, and finally immersing yourself in the vibrant energy of Singapore, offers a perfect blend of excitement and discovery. Though I am a solo and slow traveller, still I want to try this itinerary as it offers fresh experiences, making every morning an adrenaline-charged opportunity to explore new cultures and landscapes.
