Luang Prabang


IMG_7190.jpg

My first stop in Laos was arrived at by slow boat from Thailand over two days. The trip was beautiful and LP was a great time, too, not to mention plenty beautiful in its own right.

Vang Vieng


IMG_7527.jpg

Tubing capital of the world... and so much more. Situated on the Nam Song river and surrounded by karst, it is home to kayaking, rock climbing, caving, and more. And the drive from Luang Prabang is nothing to sleep through, either.

South-Central Laos


IMG_7781.jpg

From the capital village of villages, Vientiane, to the Bolaven Plateau and finally where the Mekong River spreads into a sea of 4000 islands in Si Pha Don, I travelled south in Laos towards the Cambodian border.

Phnom Penh


IMG_7948.jpg

The first stop in Cambodia, largely due to a lack of infrastructure, was the capital city of Phnom Penh. It was a harrowing journey and a harrowing city with an indefinable charm all the same.

Ho Chi Minh (Saigon)


IMG_8177.jpg

Whatever you call it, my first stop in Vietnam was a pleasant one with its own character and quite distinct from Cambodia, Laos, and Thailand. Tunnels, the Mekong Delta, and history await.

Mui Ne is Money


IMG_8230.jpg

A small beach town four hours north of Ho Chi Minh was a great place to scale some sand dunes and look out over fishing villages and the South China Sea.

Dalat-ful Hills


IMG_8323.jpg

Escaping the heat and humidity is just one great reason to come up into Vietnam's hilly centre and sit yourself down in this mountain lake town.

Hoi An


IMG_8546.jpg

A quick stop in Nha Trang for some diving and then up to Hoi An, famous for its tailors, old town charm, and beachy delights.

Hue and Hanoi


IMG_8621.jpg

Fourteen hours absorbing everything I could from this historic town. An impressive citadel, a more impressive tomb, pagoda, and some of the most delicious fruit shakes known to man. And finally a day in the capital city, Hanoi, before heading off to Halong Bay.

Sapa Bien


IMG_8918.jpg

My last stop in Vietnam (and SE Asia) was one of the greatest. The French hill station of Sapa near the Chinese border was a mountainous region filled with rice terraces, minority villages, and trekking opportunities along the great valley.
