Along the river of Mekong through Champasak, Kratie, Kompomcham & Siem Reap
June 29 – July 03, 2007

My trip this time had a lot of things to do with the Mekong, taking ferries across and along the river, watching the fishermen catching the fish, meeting the dolphins, seeing the water fall, and staying every night at a hotel on the river. The route started from the triangle border of Vietnam-Laos-Cambodia to Attapeu, Champasak in Laos, going down to Kratie, Kompocham and continued to Siemreap in Cambodia.

There is no better way to explore Halong bay than doing a kayaking trip which makes the visit a totally different one. With a kayak, you can easily enter the caves placed very low above the water, leading to the lagoons inside, while there is no way doing that with normal tourist boat. But, there are times you need to stretch your body lying on the kayak in order not to bang your head to the rocky stalactites. Continue reading "Kayaking Halong Bay (video)" »

We were in Singapore for a 2-night stopover. This was not too bad but things were rather expensive although most of the shops in the main streets like Orchard road sell branded names which mostly seemed original.

Spent sometime at Raffles Palace area where you can see the Lion statue – the island’s symbol. The famous Sentosa island and the Night Safari didnot get our interest at all. Continue reading "Singapore" »

The first moment I came in the restaurant, we were welcomed by the friendly staff with a Thai greeting phrase “Sawasdee Kha”, who made it sound like the original Thai in terms of pronunciation and intonation. Continue reading "Yet another Thai restaurant in Hanoi" »

Please see some photos of Tam Dao

Tam Dao is a hill station about 85 km to the Northwest of Hanoi, used to be developed by the French as a resort, having a cool weather all year round

The town is about 1200 meters above sea level and can be reached by a winding road uphill through pine tree forests and other green vegetation. Nowadays, Tam Dao is a major tourist destination for those looking for a short and relaxing escape close to the busy town of Hanoi; it is also a national park great for those naturalists looking for wild life like birds or butterflies.
