Peple green water of Halong Bay


































Once you’ve been sufficiently invigorated by the cities, channel that energy into exploring Vietnam’s natural wonders. Many visitors make a beeline for the limestone cliffs and pale green water of Halong Bay, but don’t let that be the extent of your outdoorsy experience. Take a motorcycle trip through the winding Hai Van Pass between Hue and Danang, weaving through a mountain highway with coastal views on one side and dark jungle on the other. Strap on your boots and descend into Phong Nha Ke Bang National Park, where some of the world’s largest caves have recently been discovered. For those looking to relax on sandy beaches, boat out to Phu Quoc Island for the summertime vibes. And don’t miss peaceful Lak Lake up in the central highlands, where Stray passengers have their homestay in a M’Nong village.

Travellers coming from nearby Laos or Cambodia








Travellers coming from nearby Laos or Cambodia will notice something different about Vietnamese cities immediately: their sheer energy. Landing in Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City, you’re dropped right in the midst of zooming scooters, honking cars, and thronging vendors. Quiet moments are saved for the hidden alleyways, but once on the streets it’s a rush of humanity and you’ve got no choice but to ride along with it. For those looking to chill, you could always head to Vietnam’s beach towns of Nha Trang and Hoi An, but let’s be honest – there’s something seductive about the frenzy of Vietnamese cities. It’s humanity, up-close and personal. Besides, once you’ve crossed the street in Ho Chi Minh City and lived to tell the tale, you’re ready for nearly anything.

Prepares to stray into Myanmar








Many individuals see vacations as the highlight of the year, as they provide a getaway from responsibilities, work and the mundane of life. Hotel reservations will normally cover attraction, food, board and gas. When not eating at restaurants, you may enjoy preparing healthy and low-cost meals within your kitchenette, if one is already available. It would help choosing a hotel which with a grocery store nearby, in order to keep from carrying a cooler while on travel.

 Majority of hotel rooms provide mini-fridges plus microwaves, which typically cost no more than regular ones. Simply ask if these are available within your room at the time of booking. You can preserve milk for breakfast cereal in the fridge, or have grits and oatmeal. For lunch, you could take meat and soup and save up the expense of two meals taken at some of the best restaurants elsewhere. Check out whether your hotel provides complimentary breakfast as this is also another way of making savings.

Carry out a search for restaurants within your travel destination on the web. Sites with hotel booking information and city data are for instance easy sources of such content. Whereas certain eateries avail an eat-free menu for kids, others offer two-for-one deals plus hotel discounts. While this may not altogether eliminate meal costs, it still could be a great alternative for obtaining affordable vacation food.
