Planning a trip from the bustling markets of Bangkok to the historical streets of Hanoi? You’ve come to the right place to figure out the distance between these two exciting Southeast Asian cities.
There are two main ways to measure distance: as the crow flies (straight line) or by road.Travellers should note that driving directly between the two cities isn’t possible due to bordering countries.
- Straight line distance: This distance, also known as the "beeline" distance, is approximately 991 kilometers (616 miles).
- Driving distance: The actual driving distance is longer than the straight line distance, clocking in at around 1,330 to 1,370 kilometers (827 to 851 miles) depending on the route you choose.
While flying is obviously the quickest way to cover this distance, a road trip can be a fantastic adventure if you have the time. It allows you to experience the diverse landscapes and cultures of Thailand, Laos, and Vietnam.
