Was thinking about stopping 2/3 days (starting tomorrow) in Ho Chi Minh before going to Hanoi but not sure about the weather? Is it raining much?

Hi, I'm planning a 3-month solo trip around Southeast Asia (24 Sep – 15 Dec), visiting 6 countries.

The idea is to travel and explore, but also have some downtime. I don't want to change places every 2 days and spend the whole trip packing, but to keep it relatively slow-paced to enjoy each place.

Currenctly evaluating:

- Indonesia (24 Sep - 5 Oct): Ubud → Gili Air → Kuta Lombok

- Malaysia (5 - 15 Oct): Kuala Lumpur → Penang → Langkawi (still uncertain on Langkawi, depends on the weather)

- North Vietnam (15 Oct - 1 Nov): Hanoi → Ha Giang (Loop) or Sapa → Ninh Binh → Cat Ba / Lan Ha Bay

- Laos (1 - 15) Nov: Luang Prabang → Nong Khiaw → Vang Vieng

- Cambodia (15 Nov - 1 Dec): Siem Reap → Koh Rong (still undecided whether to "waste" all my time here or to change itinerary)

- Philippines (1 - 15 Dec): El Nido (heard moving around island means taking a lot of planes, so not sure if I want to change place a lot but worried to get bored if staying in only one place). Was considering also Siargao but read it's not the best period of the year?

Does it look balanced?
I am not sure on Philippines as travelling from Cambodia does not seem easy. Would you skip Philippines for something else (already been to Thailand but could reconsider going again).

Thanks

Hey everyone,

I (35M) am planning a solo trip starting late September for about two months in SE Asia (already been to Thailand).

I’m basically looking for a "slow life" vibe, a chance to disconnect, clear my head, and enjoy beautiful places without rushing. I don’t want to just lay on a beach for two months, but I also don't want the typical high-stress backpacker rush (like everyday in a different place and spend all the time in either plane or train). I mostly mean low hassle and ease of moving around.

I’ll be traveling with just a single backpack, so I need to plan my route in a smart way weather-wise to stay in warm climates and avoid heavy monsoons.

My must is Vietnam (not sure if only North or also South/Center). Also considering Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Taiwan, Cambodia, Laos (obviously not all of them) or even outside SE (Uzbekistan, South Korea, Fukuoka in Japan as I have been elsewhere).

What would be your recommendation on what to see (possibly in order to avoid bad weather) and have a good balance of things to do and see?

I'd like to stay under the 10k Euro.

Appreciate any help or route suggestions!
