Just to reiterate what everyone has said here, I think if you only have 10 days it's best to stick with one country and come back another time for the others.

Seems like you are set on Thailand or Vietnam.

Thailand: Go to Bangkok for 3 days and either spend a week up north in the Chiang Mai area or a week down south (Islands). You could probably do 2 in BKK 4 North and 4 South but that would be rushing it. Islands I went to were Phuket (ignore people who say skip it -find a quiet beach or resort and it'll be great), Ko Phi Phi (Maya bay I believe is closed for now so a big reason to go is off the table), Ko Lanta (Great less touristed island). Krabi is also a very scenic place to hang out albeit not an island.

Vietnam: 10 days you'll probably be able to hang out in Hanoi (4 days) + Sapa + Ha Long Bay, then head south to Hoi An/Hue/Danang (4 days). You could do Saigon, but it would be rushing it. You'll need 3 days to do proper justice to it. Went to Phu Quoc in 2011 it was unspoiled paradise but not sure how it is now judging by how fast SE Asia changes.
