Hey my friend and I are looking to travel to Southeast Asia for the month of May for our graduation trip. We are in our early twenties and are looking for party places. We have found cheap round flights landing and leaving from Bangkok. We want to for sure go to Thailand (want to stay mainly South), Cambodia, maybe Vietnam and hoping to be able to take a few days and go to Bali. We were wondering if anyone has a specific route they could recommend so we could see as much as we can in the short time we are there. Or any other countries we should go to instead. We wanted to do the beaches in Thailand near the end of our trip so that we could ht the full moon party. Or at least just Ko Pha Ngan.

Any suggestions would really help us!!

You have "plenty of routes" depending your interests and the places you want to visit.
Why don't use a regional guidebook (LP SEA on a shoestring) and have your own itinerary ?
As you want to visit four countries in one month, try to have a realistic program and use an open-jaw ticket.

Sometimes it can be a good idea to reduce the number of countries except if a road trip is your aim...

A week on an island, a week seeing a bit if Cambodia, a week in the south of Vietnam and a week on Bali.
Might sound strange strategy ( I have worked all my multi country Asian visits for many years this way) but work out your itinerary from the last day and last destination and see if everything you want to do and places you want to go all fits in or you have days left over. Just adjust till you get to arrival point on Day 1. Make a list of Da1 to Day 30 and write where you will sleep each night. Don't forget to factor in travel time.
Cambodia to Vietnam is easy as there's several options for getting between Phnom Penh and HCMC. Either direct or via the Mekong Delta.

You failed to mention hobbies and interests or what you wanted to see apart from the awful fmp.
