So what I'd like to know is in traveling with a USA passport to Thailand then Vietnam then Philippines. What documents besides my passport do I need to get from the previous countries.

1. USA to Thailand

2. Thailand to Vietnam

3. Vietnam to Philippines

4. Possibly Philippines to Australia
Answer summary
When traveling from the USA to Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines, and possibly Australia, you'll primarily need your USA passport. Depending on your travel route, you might also need specific documentation such as visas for Vietnam and Australia, and to fill out the Thailand Departure and Arrival Card (TDAC) prior to entry. It's recommended to check for any additional travel requirements, like onward tickets.
