I want to backpack Southeast Asia?
I want to do Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, and Thailand. Am I able to buy a 1-way ticket to Saigon and just travel around, or do I need to show onward travel when I land in any of these countries? Also, would I be able to buy a round trip ticket to Thailand for say 90 days, and then travel to Laos, cambodia, Vietnam and back to Thailand by land? (the max stay for flight into Thailand is 30 days)
Rules may says you need to show a return ticket upon arrival, but in reality you don't.
Depending on your nationality, if you arrive by air, you can get entry stamps or visa on arrival allowing you to stay 30 days in Thailand, 30 days in Cambodia, 15 days in Vietnam, and 30 days in Laos.
If you arrive over land, you'll be allowed 15 days in Thailand. Still 30 days in both Cambodia and Laos, but only if you arrive at certain (not all) border crossings.
So, it might be best if you fly to Bangkok then apply for Vietnamese visa and go over land to HCMC via Cambodia. In HCMC, you can then get a visa to Laos or fly to Vientiane and get a visa on arrival.
