We r planing to spend a few months in SEAsia starting asap, most likely: Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia (maybe Malaysia n Indonesia), I have 2 passports (Argentinian & USA) and my gf Russian, I lived in SEAsia for 6years before covid and I used to know all the possibities  visa wise but things have changed... What is the best strategy right now? where to land first, any country doesnt let u cross by land any longer (but only flying to) from another neighbor country? I dont know if any covid related thing is still on place or any visa (run) has changed, thanks in advance...

Answer summary

The user seeks advice on the best travel and visa strategy for Southeast Asia, specifically regarding Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Malaysia, and Indonesia, given their mixed nationalities and recent changes in visa regulations due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Comments suggest doing thorough research, especially for the Russian passport, and confirm that most countries in Southeast Asia are accessible for vaccinated travelers, with Myanmar being the only closed destination.

As long as you are fully vaccinated for covid, the only country that is closed is Myanmar. You'll have no problems traveling around the rest of SEA.

You'll need to do a lot of research for your girlfriend because Russian passport will be a lot more limited than US
