Hello everyone! Apologies in advance for the lengthy post!

I'm travelling to Bangkok at the end of October and considering spending about two weeks in Java after a week or so in Thailand, before ending my trip with roughly two weeks in Vietnam (mainly using Saigon and Hanoi as bases).

I'm generally interested in urban exploration, beautiful scenery and landscapes (not necessarily heavy hiking or volcanoes), photography, nature, and learning about local culture, customs, arts and crafts (considering doing some workshops in Java and Vietnam).

For Indonesia, my plan is to focus on West and Central Java: flying into Jakarta, then travelling by train to Bandung and Yogyakarta, relying mainly on public transport.

I have to say that other parts of Indonesia look mesmerizing as well, particularly Flores, Sulawesi and Karimunjawa, though I wouldn't want to rush it this time. I'd like to incorporate a little escape to the coast though, just to look at the ocean for a while. I know Java has beaches, and there's Karimunjawa, but they seem a bit complicated to reach (I might be wrong though).

Based on my interests, and considering that I'm travelling solo, does this itinerary sound feasible to those who've explored the region?

It's my first trip to Southeast Asia, I've been reading plenty of guides, and I'm getting a little overwhelmed by the options and logistics. The date is approaching and the clock is ticking *palms are sweaty*

I'm also open to alternative suggestions for the trip as a whole. Maybe it would make more sense to save Indonesia for a separate trip and focus on Thailand and Vietnam this time?

TIA for any recommendations or advice!
