Itinerary for SE Asia

We have finally solidified our itinerary for Thailand and Cambodia that has changed a million times since we booked our tickets in January. I only wish we had a month because I'd love to add Chiang Mai, Vietnam, Kuala Lumpur, and Singapore. I know we can go back but realistically the next time we go to Asia will be a long time from now. There's lots of other continents to see!

We head out right after Christmas and come back 2 weeks later.

Day 1 - leave Chicago
Day 2 - arrive Tokyo, fly Tokyo to Bangkok, arrive very late at night
Day 3 - Bangkok
Day 4 - Bangkok
Day 5 - Bangkok
Day 6 - Bangkok
Day 7 - early flight to Siem Reap/Angkor Wat
Day 8 - Siem Reap/Angkor Wat
Day 9 - Siem Reap/Angkor Wat
Day 10 - early flight to BKK then on to Phuket
Day 11 - Phuket
Day 12 - Phuket
Day 13 - Ko Phi Phi
Day 14 - Ko Phi Phi
Day 15 - flight from Phuket arrives in Bangkok airport at midnight. Spend night in BKK airport for flight at 6:40 am the next day.
Day 16 - flight leaves Bangkok at 6:40 am. We arrive home at 2:30 pm the same day which I think is somehow 2 days later in Bangkok at that point.

We'll be in Bangkok for New Year's Eve so that should be exciting. We just have to find something to do so we're not stuck sitting by ourselves at the hotel bar at midnight!

We'll be visiting a lot of the same spots this fall. If you go to Phnom Penh there is a really inexpensive, but beautiful hotel called Blue Lime. It looks like you'll be heading straight to Siem Reap though.

how do you get so many points on your credit cards to get these free flights!?? My dream is to go to Thailand and I just was looking for the same time frame and airfare is between $1300 - $1900 UGH. Do I need to use my CC more?

It's not points from CCs. That would be a lot of money that we're spending! It's points through United Airlines from my husband travelling for work all the time. Once you hit a certain level of status you get double points for every flight you take so it makes it much easier to maintain that status.
