Hi,
My name is Nikki and I was wondering is it possible to a good amount of these countries in 2 months time? Me and my friend are planning such a trip and I heard that it might be very difficult if not impossible.

Here is a tentative look at our travel itinerary:

Japan
-Tokyo
-Kyoto
-Osaka
-Hiroshima
-Nagasaki
Total: 7 to 10 days

South Korea
-Seoul
-Gyeongju
-Korean Folk Village
-Total: 2 to 3 days

China
-Beijing
-Tibet (Lhasa)
-Chengdu
-Xi’an
-Shanghai
-Hong Kong
Total: 14 to 16 days

Vietnam
-Halong Bay
-Hanoi
-Hué
-Dalat
-Ho Chi Minh City
Total: 6 to 8 days

Thailand
-Phuket
-Songkhla
-Ko Samui
-Sukothai
-Bangkok
Total: 6 to 8 days

So is this a realistic goal? I am looking for all the help I can get and I am very open to suggestions.

I can tell you that its 21 hours from to pattaya alone. I dont know how much that helps you, but a handy map of thailand does help.

You're best bet might be to pick a country, and attempt to hit nearby countries.. like malaysia. It also helps if you have a free stop in another country like say china.. so you get to fit in some extra travel on your way back home. Just suggesting.

Life's too short and nobody gets out alive anyways

I spent 6 weeks travelling Thailand, Vietnam, and Cambodia and I was able to visit most of the areas I wanted to see in this amount of time. I'm travelling to China in Sept and I have 6 weeks planned just for this trip. My suggestion is to narrow down your list to your "must see" list....better to see what you really want to see while you're in a country and plan for another time to the other countries, rather than just skim the surface of everything. Just my thoughts. I hope this helps.
