Visas for cruise passengers going overland in Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia
 
Hello,
we will be on a cruise going to Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia and will be taking independent trips and tours staying overnight in some cities. This question is about visas required for US citizens, please provide your feedback.

The first port in Thailand is Koh Samui followed by Bangkok(LAEM CHABANG) the next day. Being US citizens we don't need visa for Thailand. Is that correct?

The next for us is to fly independently from Bangkok to Siam Reap, Cambodia. We will stay in SR for two days. We do need Cambodia's visa and can obtain it online as evisa, right? we understand we can get it at the airport upon entry but want to save time.

From Cambodia we will fly to Saigon, Vietnam, stay there in the hotel for 1 night and then will re-join the ship. We will be cruising more ports in Vietnam, and possibly will go overland/overnight in Hanoi.

Can we get a single entry evisa for Vietnam? Will it be ok for every port and overnight in the hotel in Saigon and Hanoi? From what I read it seemed to be fine but I want to make sure.
Appreciate any comments/feedback on visas.

You are correct, you do not need a visa for Thailand. And your info on Cambodia is correct as well.

I'm not sure how VN will manage your visa. If it was me, I'd get a multi-entry visa just to be safe. Do ask your cruise line about this.
