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 best 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.
Cambodia
Settled in the heart of southeast Asia, Cambodia beckons intrepid travelers with its rich heritage, captivating ancient temples, vibrant cities, and breathtaking natural landscapes.
From pristine coastline and frenzied cities to dense jungle and peaceful towns, Cambodia is an icon of southeast Asia crowned by the awesome beauty of Angkor Wat, a sprawling complex of ancient temples and ruins that showcases the grandeur of Khmer architecture.
The capital city, Phnom Penh, is a bustling blend of colonial architecture, lively markets, and thriving street food scenes. Siem Reap, the gateway to Angkor, is a unique town where cosmopolitan flair and traditional charm collide, offering an array of restaurants, art galleries, and vibrant night markets.
Head to the idyllic southern coastlines of Sihanoukville, Kep, and the beautiful island of Koh Rong for a sandy beach paradise with plenty of opportunties for water sports.
Cambodia's troubled past takes root in the mighty Khmer Empire, thousands of years ago, and spans up until the recent genocide of the 1970s. And yet, the resilience and spirit of Cambodia'e people is clear in their kindness, warmth and welcoming nature.
