Thanks for choosing


our guide
Visitors to Vietnam are
overwhelmed by the sublime
beauty of the country’s natural
setting. The mountainous Sapa in
the north, the Mekong Delta in the
south and almost the entire coastal
strip are a patchwork of brilliant
green rice paddies. There are some
divine beaches along the coast,
while inland there are soaring
mountains, some of which are
cloaked by dense, misty forests.
Vietnam offers an opportunity to
see a country of traditional charm
and rare beauty rapidly opening up
to the outside world.
Our aim is to equip you with a
diverse range of holiday options.
Once again we welcome the
services of Lonely Planet with their
expertise, reliable and impartial
destinational content and maps.

Vietnam Facts
The sights are spectacular, thanks to a rich civilization that has left
its temples and traditions throughout the land, and a lucky hand
with nature, which has dealt Vietnam breathtaking mountains, a
stunning coastline and sublime scenery. Vietnamese society has
undergone a profound transition in the past decade. Communism
the mantra for a generation, has taken a back seat to capitalism
and the rush to embrace the market.

Cambodia Facts
Ancient temples, mighty rivers and remote forests. Cambodia
has emerged from decades of isolation and is well and truly back
on the Southeast Asian travel map. The successor-state of the
mighty Khmer Empire, which ruled much of what is now Vietnam,
Laos and Thailand, Cambodia boasts a rich culture, a weathered
French-era capital and impressive natural scenery.
