Your destinations —
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:
- Ha Long Bay: A UNESCO World Heritage site, known for its towering limestone pillars rising from the emerald waters.
- Hoi An Ancient Town: A charming town where traditional wooden houses and ancient streets showcase Vietnam’s rich heritage.
- Mekong Delta: A network of rivers and canals that offer an intimate look at rural life, with vibrant floating markets and lush landscapes.
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.
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:
- The ancient city of Ayutthaya, where centuries-old ruins tell the story of Thailand's imperial past
- The crystal-clear waters and white-sand beaches of Phuket, ideal for both relaxation and water sports
- The dramatic limestone cliffs and emerald green waters of Krabi, a haven for nature enthusiasts
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.
