In Luang Prabang, I embraced a slower, more relaxed pace, before concluding my journey in Bangkok, a city alive with contrasts and boundless energy. It was a truly unforgettable experience.

Vietnam
Vietnam is a country where tradition and modernity coexist in harmony. From the ancient temples in the north to the bustling cities of the south, it offers a rich tapestry of cultural and natural treasures. Hanoi, the historic capital, stands as a testament to the nation's layered past, while the dramatic landscapes of Ha Long Bay and the tranquil Mekong Delta provide an escape into nature’s splendour. The energy of Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon) contrasts beautifully with the serenity of rural life, making Vietnam an alluring destination for every traveller.
Must-sees:
Culinary culture:
Vietnamese cuisine is a celebration of flavour, balance, and fresh ingredients. Renowned for its diverse street food culture, dishes like pho (noodle soup), banh mi (sandwiches), and fresh spring rolls highlight the nation's ability to blend herbs, spices, and textures seamlessly. Regional specialities, such as Hanoi's bun cha and Ho Chi Minh's com tam, offer a unique insight into the local way of life. Meals are often a communal affair, reflecting Vietnam's deeply ingrained culture of sharing and hospitality.
Dive deeper:
For those seeking a more profound connection with the country, explore lesser-known treasures such as the ancient temples of Ninh Binh or the quiet beauty of Sapa's terraced rice fields. Take part in a traditional cooking class to gain hands-on experience with local ingredients and techniques, or visit the quieter rural areas to witness traditional crafts and the slower pace of life. Exploring Vietnam beyond the main cities unveils its rich and diverse culture, offering a truly immersive experience.
Good to know:
Vietnam's currency is the dong (VND), and most places accept cash payments, though credit cards are commonly used in cities. The climate varies depending on the region, with the ideal travel times being between October and April, avoiding the summer heat and rain. For local transport, taxis and ride-hailing apps like Grab are reliable, and trains or buses connect the major cities. Be prepared for some traffic in larger cities, but the local transportation system is generally efficient.
Laos
Laos, the mountainous heart of Southeast Asia, offers a serene retreat, nestled as the only landlocked country in the region. With Thailand to the west, Laos is rich in natural beauty, from its lush landscapes to its winding rivers. Deeply rooted in Buddhism, the country's spiritual and cultural heritage is evident in its everyday life, creating a peaceful atmosphere that permeates every corner.
Must-sees:
Culinary culture:
Laos' cuisine is a delightful blend of fresh herbs, rice, and bold flavours. Dishes like larb (a spicy minced meat salad), papaya salad, and sticky rice are staples. A unique culinary experience can be found in the traditional Lao barbecue, where diners cook their own meat and vegetables. For dessert, try khao nom kok, sweet coconut-filled rice cakes. Laos' coffee, grown in the highlands, is also gaining international recognition.
Dive deeper:
To truly experience Laos, venture off the beaten path. Explore the tranquil 4,000 Islands in the Mekong River, a serene archipelago in the south where you can cycle between sleepy villages. Visit Xe Pian National Protected Area for a glimpse into the country’s diverse wildlife and lush landscapes. Alternatively, explore the Buddhist caves in Vientiane, where sacred shrines dot the limestone cliffs, creating a peaceful and meditative experience.
Good to know:
The official currency is the Lao Kip (LAK), though US dollars are accepted in many places. The ideal time to visit is from November to February, when the weather is cooler and ideal for outdoor activities. Travel around Laos is best done by bus, tuk-tuk, or boat, with scenic routes offering glimpses of the stunning countryside. Be sure to dress modestly when visiting temples and religious sites.
Thailand
Thailand, a country rich in history and culture, stretches over 1,500km from north to south, offering an alluring mix of tranquil beaches, lush landscapes, and vibrant cities. From the bustling capital of Bangkok to the historical ruins of Ayutthaya, the country's diverse regions invite discovery. The southern coast, with the picturesque islands of Phuket and the stunning regions of Krabi and Khao Lak, offers a perfect escape for those seeking natural beauty and relaxation.
Must-sees:
Culinary culture:
Thailand’s culinary culture is a reflection of its diverse regions and rich history. From the spicy curries of the north to the fresh seafood dishes of the south, every meal is an exploration of flavours. Street food is a key part of Thai life, with stalls offering fragrant pad thai, succulent satay, and tantalising mango sticky rice. In coastal regions like Krabi and Phuket, seafood lovers can enjoy fresh catches prepared in traditional styles, paired with local herbs and spices for a distinctive taste.
Dive deeper:
For those looking to explore beyond the tourist hotspots, Thailand offers a wealth of hidden gems. Visit the tranquil Pai in the north, known for its serene landscapes and local hill tribes, or explore the lesser-known beaches of Koh Lanta. Thailand’s temples, such as Wat Pho in Bangkok, offer a peaceful retreat where history and spirituality blend seamlessly.
Good to know:
The official currency is the Thai Baht (THB), and the country enjoys a tropical climate, with a dry season from November to April and a wet season from May to October. While public transport is available, taxis and tuk-tuks are a common way to get around. For an authentic experience, consider visiting during the quieter shoulder seasons to avoid the crowds.
