7 days in Bangkok, Da Nang, and Hoi An itinerary
Ticket the palace, fly BKK to DAD, and sleep Hoi An if lantern streets are the point. File the Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) for Thailand and use the Vietnam e-visa portal for the second stamp.
Three Bangkok nights and Hoi An lantern streets make a short week that skips Thai islands. Sleep three nights using Bangkok where to stay near a BTS exit, walk the old-city river temples on the first full morning (BTS 17 to 62 THB), then fly from Suvarnabhumi to Da Nang. File the Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC).
Fly to Da Nang on an international ticket. Sleep Hoi An old town or a Da Nang beach. Notes sit on Da Nang on Vietnam TravelGuide. Do not add Samui or Phuket on this week.
