Hi all. We are planning a three week trip to Thailand and Vietnam next January, and just bought our airline tickets. The itinerary will be something like Chiang Mai - Bangkok - south islands/beaches - Mekong Delta - Ho Chi Minh City - Hoi An - Hanoi - Halong Bay. This will not be specifically a palm tour, but I'd be interested to hear of any can't-miss places. I know about Nong Nooch, and we might go there but I also might prefer less of the amusement park vibe. Thanks for any suggestions.

Your trip follows a lot of the places we saw on the IPS biennial earlier this year.  You can see the itinerary here https://ips13.wildapricot.org/2026-biennial

If you are going to southern Thailand I would highly recommend visiting Khao Sok National Park. The views are spectacular. If you look closely you can see Maxburretia growing right along the cliff sides and Arenga westerhoutii in a few places.  20260305_092722.thumb.jpg.576665cbaebf032d01beadaf225988b3.jpg

 

In Hanoi, the Temple of Literature was really interesting and I would recommend grabbing a coffee along on the train street. 20260223_092847.jpg.54071efe92c8cad1dca7c8629ddb5a2f.jpg
