<p>Vietnam is a tropical country . The weather here is very special and different in each region. In Vietnam, any time can be the perfect moment for travel.</p>

<p>In the North of Vietnam, there are four seasons: Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. Spring is the most beautiful season of year. It’s very warm and drizzly. At that time the plant grow very quickly.</p>

It is hot and humid. There are many tropical fruits at that time and the rains are heavy but so quick. On the contrary the dry seasons starts in December and ends in March, it has no rain but it is very hot and dry.</p>

<p>Vietnam’s History:</p>

<p>Vietnam a country goback with long history thousand of year, lasting history starting from 1000-2000 years BC. After experiencing over centuries with many dynasties of Ly, Tran, Le, Nguyen, Vietnam became the colony of the French. After August Revolution 1945, the Democratic Republic of Vietnam came into being. In 1954, the French colonialism ended by the Battle of Dien Bien Phu. However, Vietnam at that time was divided into two separate parts: the Democratic Republic of Vietnam in the North and the Republic of Vietnam in the South. After April 30, 1975, Vietnam was reunified. Since July 2, 1976, the Socialist Republic of Vietnam is the official name of the country. Currently, Vietnam is a socialist state with single political party, the Communist Party of Vietnam.</p>

<p>Vietnam’s Culture:</p>

<p>As being a nation of 54 ethnic groups, Vietnam absolutely has a colorful culture with various traditional customs and cultural identity. Vietnamese culture is affect much by main religions as Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism, Christianity, and Tam Giao (literally ‘triple religion’), which is a blend of Taoism, popular Chinese beliefs, and ancient Vietnamese animism.</p>

<p>The most important festival of the year is Tet, a week-long event in late January or early February that heralds the new lunar year and the advent of spring. Celebration consists of both raucous festivity (fireworks, drums, gongs) and quiet meditation. In addition to Tet, there are about twenty other traditional and religious festivals each year.</p>

<p>Vietnamese architecture expresses a graceful aesthetic of natural balance and harmony that is evident in any of the country’s vast numbers of historic temples and monasteries. The pre-eminent architectural form is the pagoda, a tower comprised of a series of stepped pyramidal structures and frequently adorned with lavish carvings and painted ornamentation. Generally speaking, the pagoda form symbolizes the human desire to bridge the gap between the constraints of earthly existence and the perfection of heavenly forces. Pagodas are found in every province of Vietnam. One of the most treasured is the Thien Mu Pagoda in Hue, founded in 1601 and completed more than two hundred years later. In North Vietnam, the pagodas that serve as the shrines and temples of the Son La mountains are especially worth visiting. In South Vietnam, the Giac Lam Pagoda of Ho Chi Minh City is considered to be the city’s oldest and is notable as well for its many richly-carved jackwood statues.</p>

<p>As a language, Vietnamese is exceptionally flexible and lyrical, and poetry plays a strong role in both literature and the performing arts. Folk art, which flourished before French colonization, has experienced a resurgence in beautiful woodcuts, village painting, and block printing. Vietnamese lacquer art, another traditional medium, is commonly held to be the most original and sophisticated in the world. Music, dance, and puppetry, including the uniquely Vietnamese water puppetry, are also mainstays of the country’s culture.</p>

<p>Although rice is the foundation of the Vietnamese diet, the country’s cuisine is anything but bland. Deeply influenced by the national cuisines of France, China, and Thailand, Vietnamese cooking is highly innovative and makes extensive use of fresh herbs, including lemon grass, basil, coriander, parsley, laksa leaf, lime, and chili. Soup is served at almost every meal, and snacks include spring rolls and rice pancakes. The national condiment is nuoc mam, a piquant fermented fish sauce served with every meal. Indigenous tropical fruits include bananas, pineapples, coconuts, lychees, melons, mandarin oranges, grapes, and exotic varieties like the three-seeded cherry and the green dragon fruit.</p>

<p>Vietnamese:</p>

<p>Vietnam is one of the most populous countries in the world with the population of over 83 million of which 25% in cities and 75% in rural areas. Population growth rate in Vietnam is 1.18% annually. The most populous cities in Vietnam are Ho Chi Minh City (5 million), and Hanoi (3.5 million). In the territory of Vietnam, there are 54 ethnic groups living together in harmony, in which Kinh people account for 86% of whole population. The rest number of the population fluctuates around 1 million, including ethnic minority people of Tay, Nung, Thai, Muong, Khmer, etc. Kinh people reside across the country, especially in plains and river deltas. They are owners of rice civilization. Meanwhile, the majority of ethnic groups live in midland and mountainous regions, stretching from north to south. Most of them live alternately; in which the typicality is ethnic minority communities in the North and North Central. However, they are all friendly and love peace. Vietnamese people are friendly, intelligent , enthusiastic, hard working and very hospitable.. They welcome visitors to their country with open arms and friendly smiles.</p>

<p>Vietnamese’s Cuisine:</p>

<p>Culinary culture is naturally formed from the process of living. To Vietnamese, not only does it bring flavors like others, but also conveys traditions and cultural values. No travelers have succeeded in their attempts to resist the temptation of Vietnamese dishes, including famous figures in the culinary industry such as Gordon Ramsay, Anthony Bourdain, Jamie Oliver, or Black Obama (Former US President)&nbsp; … Flavors of it have traveled the world, from bánh mì places in Japan to phở restaurants in the US. So what makes the cuisine of this small country so popular, yet so captivating and fascinating? Is it the depth of flavors? Or is it the rich history of its origin? Perhaps the best way to get a taste of it is through means of words. Let’s have a brief preview of the Vietnamese cuisine before you get the chance to experience it yourself, shall we? Vietnamese food is known for its distinct use of fresh, fragrant and aromatic flavours. There is a balance of sweet and sour, spicy and cooling, fresh and salty flavors (from the Vietnamese staple fermented fish sauce, or ‘nuoc mam’). This balance of ying and yang is typical with most Asian cuisines.</p>

<p>The food in the north of Vietnam is derived by neighboring China. Stir fries and noodle soups are common. Towards the south, food becomes sweeter, and mixes flavors from Cambodia and Thailand.The Mekong Delta in the south, aptly named the “the rice bowl” of Vietnam, is incredibly fertile, with a tropical climate, sustaining more rice paddies and coconut groves . In fact, Vietnam rice production is the second biggest rice exporter in the world (after Thailand). Rice is a central part of the Vietnamese diet, and steamed rice is part of almost every meal. It is also transformed into ingredients such as rice noodles, rice paper for spring rolls, rice vinegar, and rice wine.</p>

<p>Just as essential to Vietnamese cuisine, is pungent fish sauce, at the heart of Vietnamese cooking. Anchovies are fermented for about six months to make it, and it is used to season most dishes (just like salt is used in the West). Vietnamese cuisine is fresh, healthy and light, characterised by Spring rool ( Called Nem) and Pho (pronounced fuh), an aromatic rice noodle soup, which is the national dish of Vietnam. It is consumed any time of day – breakfast, lunch or dinner, sold throughout the country, and is a big part of the street food culture. Combined with meat in a meat-y broth, aromatics and herbs such as lemongrass, ginger, mint, parsley and coriander are used with fresh, crunchy vegetables such as cucumber, bean sprouts, chilli and plenty of lime juice.</p>

<p>French colonization of Vietnam, with missionaries first arriving in the 18th century, and formal colonization lasting from the late 19th century until 1945, has imported Vietnamese cuisine.</p>

<p>The most obvious is Banh mi (along with Pho the most internationally popular Vietnamese dish), which uses crusty baguette, introduced by the French during Vietnam’s colonial period, as its foundation. Variations on the classic French crepe can also be found across Vietnam, made their own using spices such as tumeric.</p>

<p>Note:</p>

Otherwise, you must apply online or at the embassy for all 30-90 day single or multiple entry visas. Some nationalities are eligible for visa exemption.</p>

<p>Currency</p>

<p>The currency of Vietnam is the dong. All goods and services can and should be paid for in dong. Exceptions are made in hotels and when buying international air tickets. Shops and restaurants in the bigger cities will also accept US dollars, but you should be aware of the fact that usually a lower exchange rate will be used.

<p>Malaria:</p>

<p>Malaria is widespread in the Central Highlands and some parts of the Mekong Delta. The best protection against malaria is to avoid being bitten in the first place. Check with your physician about taking a course of anti-malarial. If it is considered necessary given your itinerary, you might need to begin before your trip and continue for a time after you return. But if you are not traveling to the Central Highlands nor going on overnight treks in the mountain region of Sapa, no anti-malarial drugs are needed. Dengue fever, which is also transmitted by mosquitoes, is often mistaken for malaria. Its symptoms are severe pain in the joints, high fever, and extreme headache. Aside from avoiding being bitten altogether (this mosquito is active in daytime and is often a striped variety), there is no prevention available. Hospital treatment is urgently required.</p>

<p>If you’re looking for the best place to travel in Cambodia, choosing where to go can be tough. When travelling Cambodia, there is so much to discover including cities, villages and breathtaking beaches. This ‘where to go in Cambodia’ guide gives an overview of the destinations worth adding to any Cambodia travel wishlist.</p>

<p>Cambodia’s cities</p>

<p>Phnom Penh is the capital of the Kingdom of Cambodia. The city is an alluring attraction in its own right. The centre has broad appeal, and its French influence is evident in the open-fronted colonial shophouses that line the streets. There are a mind-boggling number of restaurants, bars and cafes to try. Many tourists that travel to Cambodia linger here for the culinary experience. You can also take a boat trip from Phnom Penh along the mighty Mekong and Tonle Sap rivers.</p>

<p>Siem Reap is Cambodia’s principal tourist town. This city offers a gateway to the temples of Angkor. More than one hundred Angkorian monuments lie spread over some 3000 square kilometres of the countryside around the town. Siem Reap retains its small-town charm despite its popularity. It’s a lively city with many activities and attractions including lively Psar Chas Market, buzzing cafes, bars, boutique shops and plentiful nightlife. It’s also a good spot from which to visit the nearby floating villages on the Tonle Sap.</p>

<p>Laidback Battambang is Cambodia’s second biggest city. It is worlds apart from Phnom Penh’s urban bustle. It has a growing number of ex-pats fuelling the growth of arty cafes, restaurants and bars. It’s also home to impressive colonial architecture. You can take a countryside ride on its quirky bamboo railway.</p>

<p>Kompong Cham is Eastern Cambodia’s largest city. The waterfront is particularly attractive, with a string of colonial buildings lined up along the Mekong.</p>

<p>Temples of Angkor</p>

<p>For most tourists that choose to come here, their Cambodia trip is not complete without a visit to the unforgettable temples of Angkor. Understandably, this is high on the list for many who travel Cambodia as it is one of the most important archaeological sites of Southeast Asia. The awe-inspiring Angkor Wat is the most famous of the temples dominated by five corncob towers. Visit early in the morning to avoid some of the crowds. The temples attract some two million visitors per year. Visit How to see Angkor Wat without the crowds for more tips.</p>

<p>Southwest Cambodia &amp; The Southern Islands</p>

<p>Visit the Southwest to discover miles of unspoilt beaches, hidden coves and idyllic Cambodian islands. Sihanoukville is the most popular beach resort. Ochheuteal Beach and Serendipity Beach Road justify their party town reputation. There are quieter spots too, particularly around Otres, 6km away. Sihanoukville is also the entry point to the islands of Koh Rong, Koh Rong Samloem and Koh Ta Kiev. Koh Rong has a buzzing backpacker strip at Koh Toch. The beaches at Long Set and Long Beach along the west coast are more laidback. Peaceful Koh Ta Tiev retains a real castaway vibe. Remember to take cash as there are no ATM’s on the islands.</p>

<p>Ream National Park is 18km east of Sihanoukville. It’s a great place to explore Cambodia’s unspoilt natural environment. The park is evergreen with mangrove forests, sandy beaches, coral reefs, and offshore islands. The riverside town of Kampot with the backdrop of misty Bokor mountains is one of Cambodia’s most appealing towns to add to your Cambodia trip itinerary. 25km southeast of Kampot, Kep is a favourite with ex-pats and Cambodians who descend at the weekend. They are attracted by its delicious, inexpensive seafood, freshly plucked from the ocean.</p>

<p>Eastern Cambodia</p>

<p>If you travel to Cambodia and you like nature and wildlife, the east is the place to be. There are patches of dense, unspoilt rainforest that remain in Eastern Cambodia. The riverside town of Kratie is an excellent base for exploring the nearby countryside. Just over 20km from Kratie is Kampie which provides the best riverside vantage point to view a pod of rare freshwater Irrawaddy dolphins. It’s thought that only around eighty remain in the entire Mekong river.</p>

<p>Tucked away in the forest near the sleepy capital of Banlung in the Rattanakiri province, there is a trio of impressive nearby waterfalls Ka Chhang, Katieng and Chha Ong.</p>

<p>Best time to go to Cambodia</p>

<p>Figuring out the best time to travel Cambodia depends on what you plan to do when you arrive. Cambodia is warm all year round, but it has a rainy season too.</p>

<p>If you visit Cambodia between March and May, the temperatures and humidity are higher. Visiting at this time can still be a good choice if you are hitting the coast. If you are travelling Cambodia to explore the temples, the season between November and February is cool enough for sightseeing. December and January can be the most popular time for tourists.</p>

<p>Travel Cambodia in the rainy season, and you’ll find the countryside at its lushest. Travelling around Cambodia during this season can present some practical challenges and flooding is commonplace. However, the mornings are usually dry as the rain mainly falls in the afternoon. If you do choose to go visit in the rainy season, you’ll avoid the crowds too. Contact to Asian Discovery Travel to get advise when to go to Cambodia.</p>

<p>How to get to Cambodia</p>

<p>The busiest International Airports are Phnom Penh and Siem Reap. There aren’t any direct flights from Europe to Cambodia. You can reach Phnom Penh, and Siem Reap via Hong Kong, Singapore, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Ho Chi Minh City and several other destinations. Contact to Asian Discovery Travel to know more detail.</p>

<p>It’s also possible to travel overland into Cambodia from neighbouring countries. You can cross the border at several spots in Thailand, Vietnam and Laos.</p>

<p>Asian Discovery Travel will give you more information in Getting to Cambodia.</p>

<p>How to get around Cambodia</p>

<p>When planning how to travel around Cambodia, consider the transport as part of the adventure.</p>

<p>Roads have seen massive improvements in the past five years, so getting around the country is much easier than it once was. The bus system provides connections between all major towns. The bus offers the cheapest and usually the most convenient way to travel.</p>

<p>Minibuses and ‘share taxis’ are also other options to travel by road. Share taxis are faster than taking the bus, but they do get absurdly packed. You can ask to pay roughly double the standard fare to have a front seat to yourself. You could also pay to hire the entire taxi.</p>

<p>For short local trips, you can hire a motorcycle or ‘moto’ for the day or a tuk-tuk. A tuk-tuk is a passenger carriage pulled by a motorbike. It’s virtually impossible to rent a self-drive car in Cambodia, but you can hire a car with a driver. Three-wheeled cycle rickshaws called cyclos are also available in Phnom Penh for short trips.</p>

<p>10 best places to visit in Cambodia</p>

<p>Why travel to Cambodia? Here are 10 of the best places to travel in Cambodia. These highlights are sure to convince any traveller to include Cambodia on their itinerary when taking a trip to Southeast Asia.</p>

<p>The Royal Palace in Phnom PenhThe Royal Palace and Silver Pagoda in Phnom Penh are the city’s finest example of twentieth-century Khmer influenced architecture. The Royal Palace is set back from the riverbank on Sothearos Boulevard. You can stroll this complex of regal structures and perfectly manicured grounds. While there, you will gain an insight into Cambodia’s past and present. A blue flag flies when the King is in residence. While the palace itself is off-limits, it’s possible to visit several buildings within the grounds. The Silver Pagoda is named for its floor which is covered in gleaming silver.</p>

<p>Temples of AngkorThe Temples of Angkor are world-renowned and house some of the country’s finest monuments. More than one hundred Angkorian monuments lie spread over some 3000 square kilometres of the countryside. The best-known monuments are the vast temple of Angkor Wat and the walled city of Angkor Thom. During the Angkorian period, the ruling god-kings built imposing temples as a way of asserting their divinity. They left a legacy of more than one hundred temples constructed between the ninth and fifteenth centuries. The full magnificence of Angkor Wat represents the height of Khmer art. The pretty tenth-century temple of Banteay Srei is unique, made from unusual pink sandstone and with intricate ornamentation.</p>

<p>Koh Ta TievPeaceful Koh Ta Tiev is one of the southern islands, and it’s a tropical paradise retaining a real castaway vibe. There are several types of accommodation to choose from, and you can even camp or sleep in a hammock between two trees over the sand. There is limited electricity on the island and no wifi. Spend your days’ jungle trekking, snorkelling, or experiencing authentic Khmer cooking.</p>

<p>BattambangBattambang is Cambodia’s second largest city, but it’s often overlooked. It’s a bustling city that is both welcoming and laidback. Its lush surrounding countryside is ideal for bike rides, and it’s easy to get out on the water by kayak. You can whizz past rice paddies and rattle over bridges when you ride the quirky bamboo railway too.</p>

<p>KampotThe riverside Kampot is one of Cambodia’s most appealing towns with the backdrop of misty Bokor Mountains. At Kampot, you can potter along the river for a swim or sunset cruise. You could also head into the mountains to explore caves. Kampot is also a base from which to explore the region’s famed pepper plantations. Bokor National Park is home to an abandoned 1920s hotel and casino. Kampot has a friendly but low key nightlife.</p>

<p>KepKep is renowned throughout Cambodia for its delicious, inexpensive seafood. It’s heaven for seafood connoisseurs. You can get fresh crab straight from the sea at the crab market on the western seafront. It’s also a good base from which to go on an island boat tour. Head over to the palm-fringed beach of Rabbit Island or Koh Tonsay.</p>

<p>Floating villages on Tonle SapTonle Sap lake is home to dozens of picturesque floating villages. Explore the fascinating houses built from bamboo and raised on stilts; they are mainly inhabited by Vietnamese fisherman. You’ll pass floating markets, schools and pagodas and learn more about local life.</p>

<p>Irrawaddy DolphinsAround 20km north of Kratie is Kampie. It offers the best riverside vantage point to spot the rare freshwater Irrawaddy dolphins. It is expected that only around eighty remain in the entire Mekong. The Irrawaddy dolphins look very much like porpoises. The Irrawaddy dolphin has been added to the IUCN Red List as a critically endangered species. The dolphin-watching site is now run as an ecotourism project by the local community.</p>

<p>Ream National ParkReam National Park is one of Cambodia’s most accessible national parks. Here you can explore Cambodia’s unspoilt natural environment with mangrove forests, sandy beaches and rich diversity of flora and fauna. You are likely to see kingfishers, eagles and monkeys.</p>

<p>Trekking in RattanakiriTrek into the forest of Rattanakiri, the capital Banlung is surrounded by peaceful countryside. It is dotted with waterfalls and lakes, and it’s also home to the indigenous chunchiet hill tribes. You may spot gibbons, rare birdlife and endangered species in the Virachey National Park.

<p>Travel visa requirements for Cambodia</p>

<p>All foreign nationals except those from certain Southeast Asian countries need a visa to enter Cambodia. Tourist visas are valid for thirty days. The tourist visas are issued on arrival at all border crossings and airports. You will need two passport photos to get your visa. You can also take care of your tourist visa online in advance evisa.gov.kh. The e-visas are only valid at airports and the Poipet, Koh Kong and Bavet land crossings. Check the website for full details. E-visas take three days to process, and you still need to provide a digital photograph.</p>

<p>A tourist visa can be extended once for one month. You can also buy a business visa, and this can be extended in a variety of ways, and they allow multiple entries. Get more information from Asian Discovery Travel</p>

<p>Accommodation in Cambodia</p>

<p>The main cities in Cambodia have several accommodation options from budget to luxury in Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, Battambang, Sihanoukville and Kep. Camping is theoretically illegal in Cambodia, but is a possibility in some places – for example, on the beaches and islands of the south coast.</p>

<p>Food and drink in Cambodia</p>

<p>Cambodian food has influences from many other countries in Asia and French influence too. Cambodian food is milder than Thai food and often herbs, spices and chilli are served on the side rather than blended into the dish. Dishes are delicately enhanced with flavours like lemongrass and coriander. Cambodia’s national dish is bamboo-leaf infused fish amok. Stir-fries feature on most menus alongside delicious coconut milk curry dishes and rice.</p>

<p>Local variations of typical Vietnamese dishes can also be found too. French influences can also be found on the menus here with endless coffee options and French-style baguettes. You can find Khmer street food at markets and on street stalls. You can fill up on noodle dishes, filled baguettes and stir-fries.</p>

<p>Cambodians drink plenty of green tea and fruit shakes. Stalls are set up in towns all over the country from late afternoon. Also available is iced sugar-cane juice and the juice of green coconuts – all very refreshing. Cambodia’s national beer is Angkor, brewed by an Australian and Cambodian joint venture in Sihanoukville.</p>

<p>Activities in Cambodia</p>

<p>Cambodia has an increasing number of activities and sports. In the northeast, particularly in Banlung and Sen Monorom, local guides can lead groups or individuals on treks into the surrounding jungle and Virachey National Park. Treks can last anything from a day to a week. There is also good trekking in the forested hills around Koh Kong.</p>

<p>Diving in Cambodia</p>

<p>There are excellent opportunities to snorkel and dive in and around Cambodia. There are several PADI dive shops in Sihanoukville and nearby islands offering both certification and fun day trips.</p>

<p>Cycling and kayaking are available in the northeast around the Mekong River. Bike trips can be organised at Kratie, Stung Treng and around Angkor’s temples or the Cardamom Mountains.</p>

<p>Сulture of Cambodia</p>

<p>Those that travel Cambodia will gain more respect from locals if they are well dressed. Both men and women dress conservatively. It’s best to avoid skimpy clothes and shorts unless you are at a beach resort. When visiting temples, it’s best to have both shoulders and legs covered. Remove your shoes before entering a Cambodian temple or Cambodian home. Cambodians themselves are conservative and do their best to keep clean and well presented.</p>

<p>It’s advisable to avoid any displays of public affection between men and women. Even visitors holding hands can be embarrassing for Cambodians.</p>

LAOS AT A GLANCE</p>

<p>Nestled between Thailand and Vietnam in the heart of Southeast Asia, Laos is an often overlooked oasis. From the stellar waterfalls and natural beauty of the north to the cultural icons and museums of the capital, Vientiane, Laos is jam-packed with incredible sights. A large number of visitors only ever make it to Vientiane on visa runs from Thailand, but the country has far more to offer than that. Some of the most beautiful scenery in the region lies in Laos, and it’s definitely worth the trip to explore it.</p>

<p><strong>Laos Quick Information</strong></p>

<p>The current population of the Lao People’s Democratic Republic is 7,429,460</p>

<p><strong>Currency: </strong>Laos Kip. The kip is worth roughly .00012 USD, so don’t panic if you see a sandwich that costs 25,000 kip. That’s normal!</p>

<p><strong>Electricity Socket:</strong> 230V AC electricity. Power outlets are two-prong round or flat sockets. A power adaptor should not be needed if you’re from North America or Europe as the outlets will accommodate both types of plugs. To avoid the hassle of having to buy new adapters for everywhere you go, we recommend picking up a Universal Travel Adaptor before you leave.</p>

<p>Visa: Getting a visa for Laos is super convenient. Just show up at the border, fill in a form, pay, wait, and receive a 30-day tourist visa on arrival. While certain countries in Africa and the Middle East must apply for visas beforehand, most others can just get visas on arrival. Citizens of ASEAN countries, Japan, Switzerland, Russia, and South Korea can get a free visa on arrival valid for 30 days.</p>

<p>The 30-day tourist visa costs between $30 and $42, depending on where you’re from. If you don’t have a passport sized photo with you, it will cost you $1-$2 extra. The visa on arrival process is pretty straightforward and usually doesn’t take more than 10 minutes.</p>

<p>Safety: Overall, Laos is a very safe place to visit. Personally, I’ve felt way more comfortable walking alone there than in most of the places I’ve lived in the US. But as with anywhere you go, it’s good to be cautious. The Lao people are generally friendly and kind, but you should still be smart. Don’t leave money out in your hotel room and keep an eye on your belongings when traveling, especially on a crowded bus. If you’re driving a motorbike, it’s good to keep it locked and parked in paid lots whenever possible to avoid theft.</p>

<p>In some parts of Laos, there are still unexploded ordinances left over from the Indochina War. While they’re mostly in rural areas, some can still be found near routes 7 and 13, so use caution when traveling in these areas. The roads are safe and there’s really nothing to worry about, but this probably isn’t the place to set off on that solo trek through the wilderness you’ve been thinking about.</p>

<p>Based on our years of experience of traveling all over the world, we would never leave home without travel insurance. We recommend going with World Nomads due to their extensive adventure travel coverage. For those who are only traveling month on month, Safety Wing can also be a good alternative as they offer renewable monthly insurance plans.</p>

<p>Language: Lao, sometimes referred to as Laotian, is the official language of Laos. It’s closely related to Thai, so much so that if you speak Thai, you’ll be able to get by in Laos just fine. Luckily, many of the Lao people speak a bit of English, so even if you’re not fluent in Thai (like me) you’ll still be able to manage on your own while traveling there. Different dialects are spoken in the different regions of the country, but all are pretty similar. If you want to learn a few basics, here is our guide on Lao for travelers.</p>

<p>Festivals and Celebrations: Holidays in Laos, like in much of the rest of Southeast Asia, are a blend of traditional and religious and festive and fun. One of the biggest celebrations is the Lao New Year, or Pi Mai Lao, which occurs in April. Much like Thailand’s Songkran, this festival spans three days and erupts into a nationwide water fight. You’ll definitely want to keep your valuables and electronics waterproofed before stepping out into the streets for this celebration.</p>

<p>In May, various villages will take part in Rocket Festivals. Traditionally done as a request for rain, small rockets are sent into the sky throughout this festive weekend. At the height of the country’s hot and dry season, this celebration also becomes a chance to cool down with some Lao beer and let loose a little!</p>

<p>Boun Awk Pansa falls in October and marks the end of the monks’ three-month fast during Buddhist Lent. Traditional offerings are made at temples in the morning, while the atmosphere turns to a party by the evening. Small boats of banana leaves are sent down the rivers adorned with candles and flowers for good luck.</p>

<p>Following Boun Awk Pansa is a boat racing festival. Races are held in many towns throughout the country, but perhaps the biggest and best is in Vientiane. The competitors practice for months beforehand and the entire city comes alive with excitement as they prepare for the races. It’s definitely an experience you won’t want to miss if you’ll be in Laos in October.</p>

<p>Transportation: The transport from one place to the next is fairly easy in Laos and is quite efficient.</p>

<p>Laos has many different kind of transportation such as Tuk tuk, motorbike, car, bus, train, flight, boat, so it depend on your trip, you will choice the reasonable transportation in Laos</p>

<p>LAOS TRIP PLANNING</p>

<p>Best Time to Go</p>

<p>The most popular time to visit Laos is from November to January when the weather is the coolest. However, if you’ll be in the far north of the country, the temperatures during this time can get pretty cold in the evenings, sometimes dipping close to freezing.</p>

<p>Really, you can visit Laos any time of year. The only time I’d really avoid is March and April, when the height of the hot season culminates with the burning of the fields, creating air that is as smoky as it is humid. The cool season runs from October until February. March, April, and May are the warmest months, and from May to June the rainy season begins.</p>

<p>If you’ll be traveling from May-September, be sure to pack a rain jacket or bring a poncho. While it won’t be raining all day every day, it’s highly likely that you’ll at least experience afternoon showers during that time.</p>

<p>What to Pack for Traveling Laos</p>

<p>What to bring… It seems impossible to decide when you’re at home preparing for your trip. But honestly, you won’t need as much as you think you do. Bring clothing suitable for the hot and humid weather, but remember that Laos is a fairly conservative country. Keep in mind, too, that if you’ll be visiting temples, you will have to have your arms and legs covered, so make sure you have pants or a skirt and something other than a tank top. We love this light travel shawl</p>

<p>Bring a sweatshirt or light jacket if you’re traveling in the cool season, and a rain jacket if you’ll be traveling in the wet season. If you’ll be doing any treks or traveling in rural areas, it can be a good idea to bring a water filter (we recommend lifestraw), as the water in Laos is not generally safe to drink.</p>

<p>BEST THINGS TO DO IN LAOS</p>

<p>Experience the heart of Laotian culture in Luang Prabang</p>

<p>Luang Prabang, located in Northern Laos, was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1995. In addition to the architectural sites and impressive temples, there are so many things to do in Luang Prabang. Some people even argue that it’s the most beautiful spot in all of Southeast Asia, which is saying a lot! Hike to waterfalls like the Kuang Si (the biggest in the area), visit the underground caverns or take a trip to the Royal Palace Museum. There’s something for every type of adventurer in Luang Prabang.</p>

<p>Mekong Sunset Cruise–&nbsp; What better way to enjoy the beautiful sunset along the river than by going on a sunset cruise? The tour also includes a light local picnic to top off the experience.</p>

<p>Local Night Food Tour– Discover the best street food stalls and places to eat in Luang Prabang with this local night food scooter tour.</p>

<p>Morning Scooter Tour– Explore the best of Luang Prabang on this beautiful scooter tour with a local guide, visiting temples, a pottery village and more.</p>

<p>Go Tubing in Vang Vieng</p>

<p>Vang Vieng sits along the Nam Song river and is probably best known for being the best place for tubing. Rent a tube and enjoy the local scenery from the lazy comfort of a river inflatable. Thankfully, the tubing in Vang Vieng is no longer as crazy as it once was due to the many drunken river accidents. Nowadays, although the tubing is still one big party, it is also slowly rebranding itself as a top-notch adventure destination. While this might be what attracts the most visitors, there are plenty of other activities in Vang Vieng as well. Huge caves, crystal blue lagoons, and busy markets make it one of Laos’ most charming towns.</p>

<p>Visit the Buddha Park outside Vientiane</p>

<p>If you spend any time in neighboring countries like Thailand, you’ll quickly learn that Vientiane is the most commonly visited spot in Laos. There’s an easy explanation for that, and it’s not that it’s the most beautiful or exciting place. It’s because there’s a Thai consulate there, which is the place you need to go in order to pick a new visa. And there’s one huge complaint from tourists who have spent time there–it’s boring!</p>

<p>If you do find yourself in Vientiane, be sure to travel just outside the city to Buddha Park. Filled with statues and sculptures of the Buddha as well as of Hindu gods and demons, the park is a great place to spend a quiet afternoon. And when you’re in the city of Vientiane, be sure to check out all the temples and museums there too as there are a few interesting ones.</p>

<p>Explore the Plain of Jars</p>

<p>One of the country’s strangest landmarks, the Plain of Jars contains dozens of stone “jars” that date back thousands of years. Calling them jars seems like a bit of a stretch since they range from 3 to 10 feet tall and weigh around 14 tons each. While the site is becoming more accessible to visitors, it’s definitely not a place you want to wander around alone, since many of the surrounding areas contain unexploded ordinances, which you definitely don’t want to step on. If you’re up to the adventure, you can fly to Phonsavan and arrange travel to the sites from your guesthouse or hotel. Definitely, a unique spot to visit!</p>

<p>Head Outdoors</p>

<p>One of the most beautiful things about Laos is the fact that it is surrounded by so much nature. Our best advice is to get out there and see it all! From the waterfall studded Bolaven Plateau, the epic Thakhek Loop motorcycle trip, chilling out in the 4000 islands, all the way to seeing ancient temples and ruins near the Champasak Province there are heaps of things to do in Laos that involve the great outdoors.</p>

<p>If traveling by yourself isn’t your jam, check out the variety of tours that Asian Discovery Travel has and the details and dates of each trip. We suggest using the filters in the sidebar to help you find a tour that fits your travel dates and travel style.</p>

<p>WHAT TO EAT IN LAOS</p>

<p>Lao food is closely related to Thai food, and they share many of the same traditional dishes. If you want to learn more about the local cuisine, you can opt to take a cooking class in Laos. Alternatively, we’ve also listed some of our favorite Laotian food below.</p>

<p>Sticky rice (Khao Niaw): While rice is prevalent all over Asia, in Laos especially sticky rice is popular. Served at most meals, often in tiny woven baskets, it’s the perfect accompaniment to any dish.</p>

<p>Laab (minced meat salad): Cooked with lime juice, garlic, and other herbs, this meat “salad” can be made with almost any meat, including beef, pork, duck, and fish. This is one of the most well-known dishes in Laos and can be made with cooked meat, or raw (usually only the duck and fish are served raw). Different restaurants and street stalls with each have their own version of the dish, but wherever you go, it’s definitely worth a try.</p>

<p>Papaya Salad: This dish is made with shredded, unripe papaya, fish sauce, and a variety of meat and vegetable additions. Though originally a Lao dish, it was made more popular when it was imported in Thailand. The Lao version is a bit saltier and might be a more acquired taste to some travelers. Be careful if you don’t like spicy food because even this cold salad can pack a punch!</p>

<p>Mok Pa (Steamed fish in banana leaves): A perfect food to eat with sticky rice, this fish delicacy comes neatly packaged in a banana leaf tied up with a bamboo string. The fish is soaked in vibrant local flavors like lemongrass, kaffir lime, onions, and fish sauce and then cooked to perfection.</p>

<p>Check out our full list of what to eat in Laos for more delicious suggestions! If you can’t get enough of the food in Laos, we highly recommend taking the time to attend a cooking class in Laos which will teach you all about the incredible flavors that their local cuisine is made up of.</p>

<p>PLACES TO STAY IN LAOS</p>

<p>As Laos becomes an increasingly popular destination for travelers and tourists, the selection of hostels and hotels grows, too. Laos has many kind of hotel from cheap hostel stay or a regal hotel experience,&nbsp; you can contact to Asian Discovery Travel to know our recommendations for where to stay during your trip to Laos.</p>

Myanmar:</p>

<p>Population 55 million</p>

<p>Language Burmese (Myanmar)</p>

<p>Currency Kyat (K)</p>

<p>Capital Nay Pyi Taw</p>

<p>International phone code +95</p>

<p>Time zone GMT + 6hr 30min</p>

<p>A beautiful and culturally rich country cursed for decades with a brutally oppressive regime, Myanmar (Burma) has in recent years been making headlines for its tentative steps towards democracy. Following the softening and then removal of a fifteen-year tourism boycott led by the National League for Democracy – Myanmar’s leading political opposition party – tourist numbers have swollen but the infrastructure has not yet grown to accommodate them all. Although this means that finding a cheap bed is harder than before, it does make this a fascinating time to discover Myanmar’s glittering golden stupas, bountiful rice fields, enigmatic ruined temples and picturesque mountain paths. Most memorable of all, though, are the encounters with people eager to introduce foreigners to their country and their culture.</p>

<p><strong>Where to go in Myanmar (Burma)</strong></p>

<p>Although there are now affordable flights from Bangkok to Mandalay, most people still start their visit in Yangon (Rangoon). This former capital makes a great introduction to the country, with evocative colonial-era buildings, some of the country’s best restaurants and the unmissable Shwedagon Paya – the holiest Buddhist site in the country. Relatively few tourists head southeast from Yangon, other than to the precariously balanced Golden Rock at Kyaiktiyo, but Mawlamyine and Hpa-an are great places to hang out, whether you’re exploring caves full of Buddhist art, sleeping at a mountain-top monastery or visiting home-based workshops.</p>

<p>West of Yangon are a handful of beaches, with Ngapali the most highly regarded, but Chaung Tha and Ngwe Saung much more affordable. Most travellers instead hasten north to Mandalay, the hub for ‘Upper Burma’ and the base for visiting the remains of several former capital cities, or to Bagan further west for its stunning temple-strewn plains. East of Mandalay is Kalaw, the starting point for some great walks. A trek from Kalaw is one way to reach the magnificent Inle Lake, with its stilt villages and famous leg-rowing fishermen. If time allows, a trip on the Ayeyarwady (Irrawaddy) River around Katha and Bhamo offers a great chance to meet locals, as do the hiking routes around Hsipaw in Shan State, which pass through ethnic minority villages.</p>

<p><strong>The ethics of visiting Myanmar</strong></p>

<p>The question of whether to visit Myanmar – and if so, how to minimize any negative impact of that decision – has long been a complicated one. For many years, the official position of the National League for Democracy (NLD), the opposition political party of which Aung San Suu Kyi is the Chairperson and General Secretary, was to urge foreigners not to visit the country as it put money directly into the pockets of the regime. Still, some tourists did visit each year, arguing that the majority of their money was actually going to individuals and private businesses. Similarly, many people within Myanmar felt it was important that foreigners visited to see the truth of what was happening. In 2010, the NLD softened its stance, saying that it only opposed package and cruise tourism. Then, in May 2012, in the wake of the UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon urging an easing of international sanctions against Myanmar, the NLD dropped the boycott entirely. Nevertheless, it would be a mistake to think that the ethical dilemma has completely gone away. Although the new government is nominally civilian, in reality the same military figures are still largely in charge. In addition the prominent business leaders commonly described as cronies – who became rich through dealing with the regime, and in some cases allegedly through trading in arms or drugs – still own many of the country’s largest businesses, including hotel groups, banks and airlines. And although the government is praised internationally for reforms such as the release of some (but not all) political prisoners and a reduction in censorship (so that NLD posters are now a common sight), some people within the country see these as surface changes intended to please foreigners – particularly the US, which hopes to lure Myanmar away from its main trading partner, China – rather than anything more fundamental.</p>

<p>Furthermore, it should be remembered that the suppression of dissent and suspension of the democratic process were not the military junta’s only crimes. It was also fighting what has been described as the world’s longest-running civil war, with policies that amounted to ethnic cleansing and – in the eyes of some observers – attempted genocide. Although ceasefires have been signed with some of the ethnic militias, vast swathes of the country – particularly in northern Kachin State – remain off-limits to tourists while the new government continues to fight with rebel armies (some of which, it must be admitted, are motivated as much by profit from the drug trade as they are by a thirst for democracy). If free and fair elections are held in 2015 then the NLD is expected to win a landslide victory, but it remains to be seen how they propose to keep the peace with ethnic minority groups who consider the NLD to represent only the Bamar majority – particularly if the military’s stranglehold is weakened as democracy takes root. Already the NLD has been accused of becoming too close to the generals and their cronies as it seeks their political support and funding for social projects. Some compromise is inevitable, not least because the military can veto a proposed change to the constitution to allow Aung San Suu Kyi (as someone who married a foreign national) to run for President.</p>

<p>Bearing all this in mind, travellers should consider limiting the amount of their money that makes it to the government and its associates. Some expenses are unavoidable, including visa fees, while others are hard to avoid if you want to see some of the main tourist attractions, such as the $10 multi-site fee in Mandalay. It can also be difficult to know exactly which businesses in Myanmar are affiliated with the government or its cronies. On the other hand, by staying in budget accommodation your money is already more likely to be going to ordinary individuals or small family businesses than to companies with strong government links (and in this guide we have tried to avoid recommending such places). The same goes for services such as vehicle hire or trekking guides – there are plenty of opportunities to use small companies and freelancers, which often leads to a better experience anyway. Some visitors also consider avoiding planes and even trains (which are operated by the government).</p>

<p>Culture and Etiquette in Myanmar (Burma)</p>

<p>Most women and girls, as well as some men and boys, use thănăk’à (a paste made from ground bark) on their faces; traditionally thought to improve the skin and act as a sunblock, it is often applied as a circle or stripe on each cheek.</p>

<p>Avoid touching another person’s head, as it is considered the most sacred part of the body; feet are unclean and so when sitting don’t point your feet at anyone or towards images of the Buddha. Remove your shoes before entering a Buddhist site or a home. Always use your right hand when shaking hands or passing something to someone, as the left hand is traditionally used for toilet ablutions; however, locals do use their left hand to “support” their right arm when shaking hands.</p>

<p>Most people in the country are Buddhist although there are significant Muslim and Christian minorities. Men are expected to experience life in a monastery twice in their lives, once when a child and once as an adult, although this is only for a short time unless they become a novice. Most Buddhists also believe in nats, spirits rooted in older animist traditions, which are now considered to be the Buddha’s disciples. These supernatural beings take an interest in the actions of humans, and may need to be propitiated.</p>

<p>Considering the social conservatism of Myanmar’s society it is interesting to note that while in the past most nat kădaws (spirit mediums) were women, today most are gay men and many are either transgendered or transvestites. A nat-pwèh (spirit festival) held, for example, at the start of a new business enterprise is an occasion on which people have license to sing, cheer and show emotions which would otherwise be repressed in public. Homosexuality is, however, technically illegal in Myanmar – for tourists as well as locals – and punishable by fines or imprisonment, but this is rarely enforced in practice. There is a discreet gay scene in Yangon, but little elsewhere.</p>

<p>Myanmar (Burma) for planning and on the go</p>

<p>Crime and personal safety</p>

<p>Very few foreign tourists are victims of crime in Myanmar, possibly because the penalties for stealing from tourists are severe. There are, however, occasional reports of opportunistic theft such as of cameras left charging on ferries while the owners wander the decks.</p>

<p>Although the government is engaged in conflict with ethnic resistance groups in several parts of the country, if there’s any danger in an area then it will be closed to foreigners both for their protection and to keep the violence hidden away from international attention. No resistance groups have been known to target tourists.</p>

<p>Although the quasi-civilian government inaugurated in 2011 has taken steps to reduce censorship and released some political prisoners, Myanmar is still far from being a place where freedom of speech can be taken for granted and violence is still regularly used against dissenters and protesters. It is still therefore wise to avoid raising political topics in conversation, as local people can be nervous about finding themselves in trouble; let them take the lead, and be discreet. Also think twice before taking photographs of bridges, police stations and anywhere else where doing so might be considered a security risk.</p>

<p>Health</p>

<p>The quality of health care in Myanmar is generally poor. Routine advice and treatment are available in Yangon and Mandalay but elsewhere the hospitals often lack basic supplies, and some suffer under corrupt administrations. Avoid surgery and dental work, as hygiene standards cannot be relied upon; if you are seriously ill then contact your embassy for advice, and expect international-quality care to be expensive (and possibly to require payment up front). As always, it is important to travel with insurance covering medical care, including emergency evacuation.</p>

<p>Minor injuries and ailments can be dealt with by pharmacists, particularly in major tourist areas where they are more likely to speak English. Pharmacists offer many things over the counter without prescription, although there are serious issues with fake and out-of-date medication.</p>

<p>Emergency numbers</p>

<p>Police t 199</p>

<p>Ambulance t 192</p>

<p>Fire t191</p>

<p>Internet</p>

<p>There are now internet cafés in most towns and cities, almost all with printers and some offering services such as Skype; in addition, some hotels and guesthouses have wi-fi access. Connections are unreliable and can be frustratingly slow; unsurprisingly, high-end hotels tend to be the best bet and it’s normally possible to use the wi-fi if you buy something in their café. Since 2010, censorship of the web has been much less severe and most popular web-based mail can be accessed. Avoid accessing a PayPal account from Myanmar, as it may be blocked.</p>

<p>Information and maps</p>

<p>The best sources of information, besides other travellers and some online resources, are generally the staff at guesthouses. Some of the best of these places are well used to meeting the needs of visitors, providing maps and advice on how to explore the area. The state tourist offices, operated by Myanmar Travels &amp; Tours (MTT), are generally not especially helpful, although you will need to visit one if you want to apply for a permit to travel to a restricted area. They also give out free copies of maps published by Design Printing Services (dpsmap.com), including a detailed one of Bagan and one covering several major cities. Outside of Myanmar, you can buy a number of maps of the country, including the Reise Know How 1:1,500,000 and Globetrotter 1:1,700,000 (the latter also includes some city maps).</p>

<p>Mail</p>

<p>The postal service in Myanmar is not known for its efficiency; sending postcards is cheap but they often do not reach their destinations. Post offices are typically open Monday to Friday 9.30am to 4.30pm and sometimes on Saturday mornings, and many have an EMS (Express Mail Service) counter offering faster and more reliable international delivery.</p>

<p>Money and banks</p>

<p>Myanmar’s currency is the kyat (pronounced “chat”), usually abbreviated as K, Ks or MMK. Notes are available in denominations of K1, K5, K10, K20, K50, K100, K200, K500, K1000, K5000 and K10,000, although the lowest value you are likely to encounter is the K50 note. At the time of writing the exchange rate was K860 to $1, K1300 to £1, and K1120 to €1; high-value notes (particularly $100 bills) attract the best exchange rates, so bring those to change. Although at one time the official rate was artificially low and most people changed money on the black market, today banks offer a realistic rate and it is not worth using the black market. It is never a good idea to change money in the street, even if the rate sounds good, as scams are common. Note also that kyat cannot be bought or sold overseas, so you should change any leftover currency before leaving the country.</p>

<p>Kyat are used to pay for food, bus tickets, taxi journeys and items in ordinary shops or markets, but US dollars (and possibly euros, although don’t rely on it) must be used for government services including train tickets and entry fees for major tourist attractions. There are also some circumstances in which US dollars are preferred but not required, notably at hotels and guesthouses but also in some tourist-oriented shops. In these cases, prices are quoted in dollars and if payment is made in kyat then it is usually at a poorer rate than you’d get in a bank. It’s a good idea to bring plenty of low-denomination dollar notes for these situations. Note that it is essential that any currency which you intend to change within Myanmar is pristine, and that US dollars were issued in 2006 or later. Notes that are creased, torn or marked in any way – however minor – may not be accepted by banks, hotels or any other outlets; if they do take them then it is likely to be at a reduced rate.

On the contrary the dry seasons starts in December and ends in March, it has no rain but it is very hot and dry.</p>

<p>Vietnam’s History:</p>

<p>Vietnam a country goback with long history thousand of year, lasting history starting from 1000-2000 years BC. After experiencing over centuries with many dynasties of Ly, Tran, Le, Nguyen, Vietnam became the colony of the French. After August Revolution 1945, the Democratic Republic of Vietnam came into being. In 1954, the French colonialism ended by the Battle of Dien Bien Phu. However, Vietnam at that time was divided into two separate parts: the Democratic Republic of Vietnam in the North and the Republic of Vietnam in the South. After April 30, 1975, Vietnam was reunified. Since July 2, 1976, the Socialist Republic of Vietnam is the official name of the country. Currently, Vietnam is a socialist state with single political party, the Communist Party of Vietnam.</p>

<p>Vietnam’s Culture:</p>

<p>As being a nation of 54 ethnic groups, Vietnam absolutely has a colorful culture with various traditional customs and cultural identity. Vietnamese culture is affect much by main religions as Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism, Christianity, and Tam Giao (literally ‘triple religion’), which is a blend of Taoism, popular Chinese beliefs, and ancient Vietnamese animism.</p>

<p>The most important festival of the year is Tet, a week-long event in late January or early February that heralds the new lunar year and the advent of spring. Celebration consists of both raucous festivity (fireworks, drums, gongs) and quiet meditation. In addition to Tet, there are about twenty other traditional and religious festivals each year.</p>

<p>Vietnamese architecture expresses a graceful aesthetic of natural balance and harmony that is evident in any of the country’s vast numbers of historic temples and monasteries. The pre-eminent architectural form is the pagoda, a tower comprised of a series of stepped pyramidal structures and frequently adorned with lavish carvings and painted ornamentation. Generally speaking, the pagoda form symbolizes the human desire to bridge the gap between the constraints of earthly existence and the perfection of heavenly forces. Pagodas are found in every province of Vietnam. One of the most treasured is the Thien Mu Pagoda in Hue, founded in 1601 and completed more than two hundred years later. In North Vietnam, the pagodas that serve as the shrines and temples of the Son La mountains are especially worth visiting. In South Vietnam, the Giac Lam Pagoda of Ho Chi Minh City is considered to be the city’s oldest and is notable as well for its many richly-carved jackwood statues.</p>

<p>As a language, Vietnamese is exceptionally flexible and lyrical, and poetry plays a strong role in both literature and the performing arts. Folk art, which flourished before French colonization, has experienced a resurgence in beautiful woodcuts, village painting, and block printing. Vietnamese lacquer art, another traditional medium, is commonly held to be the most original and sophisticated in the world. Music, dance, and puppetry, including the uniquely Vietnamese water puppetry, are also mainstays of the country’s culture.</p>

<p>Although rice is the foundation of the Vietnamese diet, the country’s cuisine is anything but bland. Deeply influenced by the national cuisines of France, China, and Thailand, Vietnamese cooking is highly innovative and makes extensive use of fresh herbs, including lemon grass, basil, coriander, parsley, laksa leaf, lime, and chili. Soup is served at almost every meal, and snacks include spring rolls and rice pancakes. The national condiment is nuoc mam, a piquant fermented fish sauce served with every meal. Indigenous tropical fruits include bananas, pineapples, coconuts, lychees, melons, mandarin oranges, grapes, and exotic varieties like the three-seeded cherry and the green dragon fruit.</p>

<p>Vietnamese:</p>

<p>Vietnam is one of the most populous countries in the world with the population of over 83 million of which 25% in cities and 75% in rural areas. Population growth rate in Vietnam is 1.18% annually. The most populous cities in Vietnam are Ho Chi Minh City (5 million), and Hanoi (3.5 million). In the territory of Vietnam, there are 54 ethnic groups living together in harmony, in which Kinh people account for 86% of whole population. The rest number of the population fluctuates around 1 million, including ethnic minority people of Tay, Nung, Thai, Muong, Khmer, etc. Kinh people reside across the country, especially in plains and river deltas. They are owners of rice civilization. Meanwhile, the majority of ethnic groups live in midland and mountainous regions, stretching from north to south. Most of them live alternately; in which the typicality is ethnic minority communities in the North and North Central. However, they are all friendly and love peace. Vietnamese people are friendly, intelligent , enthusiastic, hard working and very hospitable.. They welcome visitors to their country with open arms and friendly smiles.</p>

<p>Vietnamese’s Cuisine:</p>

<p>Culinary culture is naturally formed from the process of living. To Vietnamese, not only does it bring flavors like others, but also conveys traditions and cultural values. No travelers have succeeded in their attempts to resist the temptation of Vietnamese dishes, including famous figures in the culinary industry such as Gordon Ramsay, Anthony Bourdain, Jamie Oliver, or Black Obama (Former US President)&nbsp; … Flavors of it have traveled the world, from bánh mì places in Japan to phở restaurants in the US. So what makes the cuisine of this small country so popular, yet so captivating and fascinating? Is it the depth of flavors? Or is it the rich history of its origin? Perhaps the best way to get a taste of it is through means of words. Let’s have a brief preview of the Vietnamese cuisine before you get the chance to experience it yourself, shall we? Vietnamese food is known for its distinct use of fresh, fragrant and aromatic flavours. There is a balance of sweet and sour, spicy and cooling, fresh and salty flavors (from the Vietnamese staple fermented fish sauce, or ‘nuoc mam’). This balance of ying and yang is typical with most Asian cuisines.</p>

<p>The food in the north of Vietnam is derived by neighboring China. Stir fries and noodle soups are common. Towards the south, food becomes sweeter, and mixes flavors from Cambodia and Thailand.The Mekong Delta in the south, aptly named the “the rice bowl” of Vietnam, is incredibly fertile, with a tropical climate, sustaining more rice paddies and coconut groves . In fact, Vietnam rice production is the second biggest rice exporter in the world (after Thailand). Rice is a central part of the Vietnamese diet, and steamed rice is part of almost every meal. It is also transformed into ingredients such as rice noodles, rice paper for spring rolls, rice vinegar, and rice wine.</p>

<p>Just as essential to Vietnamese cuisine, is pungent fish sauce, at the heart of Vietnamese cooking. Anchovies are fermented for about six months to make it, and it is used to season most dishes (just like salt is used in the West). Vietnamese cuisine is fresh, healthy and light, characterised by Spring rool ( Called Nem) and Pho (pronounced fuh), an aromatic rice noodle soup, which is the national dish of Vietnam. It is consumed any time of day – breakfast, lunch or dinner, sold throughout the country, and is a big part of the street food culture. Combined with meat in a meat-y broth, aromatics and herbs such as lemongrass, ginger, mint, parsley and coriander are used with fresh, crunchy vegetables such as cucumber, bean sprouts, chilli and plenty of lime juice.</p>

<p>French colonization of Vietnam, with missionaries first arriving in the 18th century, and formal colonization lasting from the late 19th century until 1945, has imported Vietnamese cuisine.</p>

<p>The most obvious is Banh mi (along with Pho the most internationally popular Vietnamese dish), which uses crusty baguette, introduced by the French during Vietnam’s colonial period, as its foundation. Variations on the classic French crepe can also be found across Vietnam, made their own using spices such as tumeric.</p>

<p>Note:</p>

Thus, we require all guests to purchase full travel insurance prior to their trip. Travel insurance is the best way to protect yourself and your property in the event of problems due to canceled trips, delays, medical emergencies, baggage loss or damage. It also gives you peace of mind for your trip.</p>

A visa on arrival is granted to many nationalities for stays 15 days or less. Asian Discovery Travel can arrange this for you. Otherwise, you must apply online or at the embassy for all 30-90 day single or multiple entry visas. Some nationalities are eligible for visa exemption.</p>

<p>Currency</p>

<p>The currency of Vietnam is the dong. All goods and services can and should be paid for in dong. Exceptions are made in hotels and when buying international air tickets. Shops and restaurants in the bigger cities will also accept US dollars, but you should be aware of the fact that usually a lower exchange rate will be used. It is therefore advisable to change a certain amount of Vietnamese dong to cover your day-to-day expenses.</p>

<p>Travelers cheques must denominated in US dollars. You can change them to dong or to US dollars (with a 2 percent commission).

<p>Malaria:</p>

<p>Malaria is widespread in the Central Highlands and some parts of the Mekong Delta. The best protection against malaria is to avoid being bitten in the first place. Check with your physician about taking a course of anti-malarial. If it is considered necessary given your itinerary, you might need to begin before your trip and continue for a time after you return. But if you are not traveling to the Central Highlands nor going on overnight treks in the mountain region of Sapa, no anti-malarial drugs are needed. Dengue fever, which is also transmitted by mosquitoes, is often mistaken for malaria. Its symptoms are severe pain in the joints, high fever, and extreme headache. Aside from avoiding being bitten altogether (this mosquito is active in daytime and is often a striped variety), there is no prevention available. Hospital treatment is urgently required.</p>

<p>If you’re looking for the best place to travel in Cambodia, choosing where to go can be tough. When travelling Cambodia, there is so much to discover including cities, villages and breathtaking beaches. This ‘where to go in Cambodia’ guide gives an overview of the destinations worth adding to any Cambodia travel wishlist.</p>

<p>Cambodia’s cities</p>

<p>Phnom Penh is the capital of the Kingdom of Cambodia. The city is an alluring attraction in its own right. The centre has broad appeal, and its French influence is evident in the open-fronted colonial shophouses that line the streets. There are a mind-boggling number of restaurants, bars and cafes to try. Many tourists that travel to Cambodia linger here for the culinary experience. You can also take a boat trip from Phnom Penh along the mighty Mekong and Tonle Sap rivers.</p>

<p>Siem Reap is Cambodia’s principal tourist town. This city offers a gateway to the temples of Angkor. More than one hundred Angkorian monuments lie spread over some 3000 square kilometres of the countryside around the town. Siem Reap retains its small-town charm despite its popularity. It’s a lively city with many activities and attractions including lively Psar Chas Market, buzzing cafes, bars, boutique shops and plentiful nightlife. It’s also a good spot from which to visit the nearby floating villages on the Tonle Sap.</p>

<p>Laidback Battambang is Cambodia’s second biggest city. It is worlds apart from Phnom Penh’s urban bustle. It has a growing number of ex-pats fuelling the growth of arty cafes, restaurants and bars. It’s also home to impressive colonial architecture. You can take a countryside ride on its quirky bamboo railway.</p>

<p>Kompong Cham is Eastern Cambodia’s largest city. The waterfront is particularly attractive, with a string of colonial buildings lined up along the Mekong.</p>

<p>Temples of Angkor</p>

<p>For most tourists that choose to come here, their Cambodia trip is not complete without a visit to the unforgettable temples of Angkor. Understandably, this is high on the list for many who travel Cambodia as it is one of the most important archaeological sites of Southeast Asia. The awe-inspiring Angkor Wat is the most famous of the temples dominated by five corncob towers. Visit early in the morning to avoid some of the crowds. The temples attract some two million visitors per year. Visit How to see Angkor Wat without the crowds for more tips.</p>

<p>Southwest Cambodia &amp; The Southern Islands</p>

<p>Visit the Southwest to discover miles of unspoilt beaches, hidden coves and idyllic Cambodian islands. Sihanoukville is the most popular beach resort. Ochheuteal Beach and Serendipity Beach Road justify their party town reputation. There are quieter spots too, particularly around Otres, 6km away. Sihanoukville is also the entry point to the islands of Koh Rong, Koh Rong Samloem and Koh Ta Kiev. Koh Rong has a buzzing backpacker strip at Koh Toch. The beaches at Long Set and Long Beach along the west coast are more laidback. Peaceful Koh Ta Tiev retains a real castaway vibe. Remember to take cash as there are no ATM’s on the islands.</p>

<p>Ream National Park is 18km east of Sihanoukville. It’s a great place to explore Cambodia’s unspoilt natural environment. The park is evergreen with mangrove forests, sandy beaches, coral reefs, and offshore islands. The riverside town of Kampot with the backdrop of misty Bokor mountains is one of Cambodia’s most appealing towns to add to your Cambodia trip itinerary. 25km southeast of Kampot, Kep is a favourite with ex-pats and Cambodians who descend at the weekend. They are attracted by its delicious, inexpensive seafood, freshly plucked from the ocean.</p>

<p>Eastern Cambodia</p>

<p>If you travel to Cambodia and you like nature and wildlife, the east is the place to be. There are patches of dense, unspoilt rainforest that remain in Eastern Cambodia. The riverside town of Kratie is an excellent base for exploring the nearby countryside. Just over 20km from Kratie is Kampie which provides the best riverside vantage point to view a pod of rare freshwater Irrawaddy dolphins. It’s thought that only around eighty remain in the entire Mekong river.</p>

<p>Tucked away in the forest near the sleepy capital of Banlung in the Rattanakiri province, there is a trio of impressive nearby waterfalls Ka Chhang, Katieng and Chha Ong.</p>

<p>Best time to go to Cambodia</p>

<p>Figuring out the best time to travel Cambodia depends on what you plan to do when you arrive. Cambodia is warm all year round, but it has a rainy season too.</p>

<p>If you visit Cambodia between March and May, the temperatures and humidity are higher. Visiting at this time can still be a good choice if you are hitting the coast. If you are travelling Cambodia to explore the temples, the season between November and February is cool enough for sightseeing. December and January can be the most popular time for tourists.</p>

<p>Travel Cambodia in the rainy season, and you’ll find the countryside at its lushest. Travelling around Cambodia during this season can present some practical challenges and flooding is commonplace. However, the mornings are usually dry as the rain mainly falls in the afternoon. If you do choose to go visit in the rainy season, you’ll avoid the crowds too. Contact to Asian Discovery Travel to get advise when to go to Cambodia.</p>

<p>How to get to Cambodia</p>

<p>The busiest International Airports are Phnom Penh and Siem Reap. There aren’t any direct flights from Europe to Cambodia. You can reach Phnom Penh, and Siem Reap via Hong Kong, Singapore, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Ho Chi Minh City and several other destinations. Contact to Asian Discovery Travel to know more detail.</p>

<p>It’s also possible to travel overland into Cambodia from neighbouring countries. You can cross the border at several spots in Thailand, Vietnam and Laos.</p>

<p>Asian Discovery Travel will give you more information in Getting to Cambodia.</p>

<p>How to get around Cambodia</p>

<p>When planning how to travel around Cambodia, consider the transport as part of the adventure.</p>

<p>Roads have seen massive improvements in the past five years, so getting around the country is much easier than it once was. The bus system provides connections between all major towns. The bus offers the cheapest and usually the most convenient way to travel.</p>

<p>Minibuses and ‘share taxis’ are also other options to travel by road. Share taxis are faster than taking the bus, but they do get absurdly packed. You can ask to pay roughly double the standard fare to have a front seat to yourself. You could also pay to hire the entire taxi.</p>

<p>For short local trips, you can hire a motorcycle or ‘moto’ for the day or a tuk-tuk. A tuk-tuk is a passenger carriage pulled by a motorbike. It’s virtually impossible to rent a self-drive car in Cambodia, but you can hire a car with a driver. Three-wheeled cycle rickshaws called cyclos are also available in Phnom Penh for short trips.</p>

<p>10 best places to visit in Cambodia</p>

<p>Why travel to Cambodia? Here are 10 of the best places to travel in Cambodia. These highlights are sure to convince any traveller to include Cambodia on their itinerary when taking a trip to Southeast Asia.</p>

<p>The Royal Palace in Phnom PenhThe Royal Palace and Silver Pagoda in Phnom Penh are the city’s finest example of twentieth-century Khmer influenced architecture. The Royal Palace is set back from the riverbank on Sothearos Boulevard. You can stroll this complex of regal structures and perfectly manicured grounds. While there, you will gain an insight into Cambodia’s past and present. A blue flag flies when the King is in residence. While the palace itself is off-limits, it’s possible to visit several buildings within the grounds. The Silver Pagoda is named for its floor which is covered in gleaming silver.</p>

<p>Temples of AngkorThe Temples of Angkor are world-renowned and house some of the country’s finest monuments. More than one hundred Angkorian monuments lie spread over some 3000 square kilometres of the countryside. The best-known monuments are the vast temple of Angkor Wat and the walled city of Angkor Thom. During the Angkorian period, the ruling god-kings built imposing temples as a way of asserting their divinity. They left a legacy of more than one hundred temples constructed between the ninth and fifteenth centuries. The full magnificence of Angkor Wat represents the height of Khmer art. The pretty tenth-century temple of Banteay Srei is unique, made from unusual pink sandstone and with intricate ornamentation.</p>

<p>Koh Ta TievPeaceful Koh Ta Tiev is one of the southern islands, and it’s a tropical paradise retaining a real castaway vibe. There are several types of accommodation to choose from, and you can even camp or sleep in a hammock between two trees over the sand. There is limited electricity on the island and no wifi. Spend your days’ jungle trekking, snorkelling, or experiencing authentic Khmer cooking.</p>

<p>BattambangBattambang is Cambodia’s second largest city, but it’s often overlooked. It’s a bustling city that is both welcoming and laidback. Its lush surrounding countryside is ideal for bike rides, and it’s easy to get out on the water by kayak. You can whizz past rice paddies and rattle over bridges when you ride the quirky bamboo railway too.</p>

<p>KampotThe riverside Kampot is one of Cambodia’s most appealing towns with the backdrop of misty Bokor Mountains. At Kampot, you can potter along the river for a swim or sunset cruise. You could also head into the mountains to explore caves. Kampot is also a base from which to explore the region’s famed pepper plantations. Bokor National Park is home to an abandoned 1920s hotel and casino. Kampot has a friendly but low key nightlife.</p>

<p>KepKep is renowned throughout Cambodia for its delicious, inexpensive seafood. It’s heaven for seafood connoisseurs. You can get fresh crab straight from the sea at the crab market on the western seafront. It’s also a good base from which to go on an island boat tour. Head over to the palm-fringed beach of Rabbit Island or Koh Tonsay.</p>

<p>Floating villages on Tonle SapTonle Sap lake is home to dozens of picturesque floating villages. Explore the fascinating houses built from bamboo and raised on stilts; they are mainly inhabited by Vietnamese fisherman. You’ll pass floating markets, schools and pagodas and learn more about local life.</p>

<p>Irrawaddy DolphinsAround 20km north of Kratie is Kampie. It offers the best riverside vantage point to spot the rare freshwater Irrawaddy dolphins. It is expected that only around eighty remain in the entire Mekong. The Irrawaddy dolphins look very much like porpoises. The Irrawaddy dolphin has been added to the IUCN Red List as a critically endangered species. The dolphin-watching site is now run as an ecotourism project by the local community.</p>

<p>Ream National ParkReam National Park is one of Cambodia’s most accessible national parks. Here you can explore Cambodia’s unspoilt natural environment with mangrove forests, sandy beaches and rich diversity of flora and fauna. You are likely to see kingfishers, eagles and monkeys.</p>

Cambodian food is milder than Thai food and often herbs, spices and chilli are served on the side rather than blended into the dish. Dishes are delicately enhanced with flavours like lemongrass and coriander. Cambodia’s national dish is bamboo-leaf infused fish amok. Stir-fries feature on most menus alongside delicious coconut milk curry dishes and rice.</p>

<p>Local variations of typical Vietnamese dishes can also be found too. French influences can also be found on the menus here with endless coffee options and French-style baguettes. You can find Khmer street food at markets and on street stalls. You can fill up on noodle dishes, filled baguettes and stir-fries.</p>

<p>Cambodians drink plenty of green tea and fruit shakes. Stalls are set up in towns all over the country from late afternoon. Also available is iced sugar-cane juice and the juice of green coconuts – all very refreshing. Cambodia’s national beer is Angkor, brewed by an Australian and Cambodian joint venture in Sihanoukville.</p>

<p>Activities in Cambodia</p>

<p>Cambodia has an increasing number of activities and sports. In the northeast, particularly in Banlung and Sen Monorom, local guides can lead groups or individuals on treks into the surrounding jungle and Virachey National Park. Treks can last anything from a day to a week. There is also good trekking in the forested hills around Koh Kong.</p>

<p>Diving in Cambodia</p>

<p>There are excellent opportunities to snorkel and dive in and around Cambodia. There are several PADI dive shops in Sihanoukville and nearby islands offering both certification and fun day trips.</p>

<p>Cycling and kayaking are available in the northeast around the Mekong River. Bike trips can be organised at Kratie, Stung Treng and around Angkor’s temples or the Cardamom Mountains.</p>

<p>Сulture of Cambodia</p>

<p>Those that travel Cambodia will gain more respect from locals if they are well dressed. Both men and women dress conservatively. It’s best to avoid skimpy clothes and shorts unless you are at a beach resort. When visiting temples, it’s best to have both shoulders and legs covered. Remove your shoes before entering a Cambodian temple or Cambodian home. Cambodians themselves are conservative and do their best to keep clean and well presented.</p>

<p>It’s advisable to avoid any displays of public affection between men and women. Even visitors holding hands can be embarrassing for Cambodians.</p>

LAOS AT A GLANCE</p>

<p>Nestled between Thailand and Vietnam in the heart of Southeast Asia, Laos is an often overlooked oasis. From the stellar waterfalls and natural beauty of the north to the cultural icons and museums of the capital, Vientiane, Laos is jam-packed with incredible sights. A large number of visitors only ever make it to Vientiane on visa runs from Thailand, but the country has far more to offer than that. Some of the most beautiful scenery in the region lies in Laos, and it’s definitely worth the trip to explore it.</p>

<p><strong>Laos Quick Information</strong></p>

<p>The current population of the Lao People’s Democratic Republic is 7,429,460</p>

<p><strong>Currency: </strong>Laos Kip. The kip is worth roughly .00012 USD, so don’t panic if you see a sandwich that costs 25,000 kip. That’s normal!</p>

<p><strong>Electricity Socket:</strong> 230V AC electricity. Power outlets are two-prong round or flat sockets. A power adaptor should not be needed if you’re from North America or Europe as the outlets will accommodate both types of plugs. To avoid the hassle of having to buy new adapters for everywhere you go, we recommend picking up a Universal Travel Adaptor before you leave.</p>

<p>Visa: Getting a visa for Laos is super convenient. Just show up at the border, fill in a form, pay, wait, and receive a 30-day tourist visa on arrival. While certain countries in Africa and the Middle East must apply for visas beforehand, most others can just get visas on arrival. Citizens of ASEAN countries, Japan, Switzerland, Russia, and South Korea can get a free visa on arrival valid for 30 days.</p>

<p>The 30-day tourist visa costs between $30 and $42, depending on where you’re from. If you don’t have a passport sized photo with you, it will cost you $1-$2 extra. The visa on arrival process is pretty straightforward and usually doesn’t take more than 10 minutes.</p>

<p>Safety: Overall, Laos is a very safe place to visit. Personally, I’ve felt way more comfortable walking alone there than in most of the places I’ve lived in the US. But as with anywhere you go, it’s good to be cautious. The Lao people are generally friendly and kind, but you should still be smart. Don’t leave money out in your hotel room and keep an eye on your belongings when traveling, especially on a crowded bus. If you’re driving a motorbike, it’s good to keep it locked and parked in paid lots whenever possible to avoid theft.</p>

<p>In some parts of Laos, there are still unexploded ordinances left over from the Indochina War. While they’re mostly in rural areas, some can still be found near routes 7 and 13, so use caution when traveling in these areas. The roads are safe and there’s really nothing to worry about, but this probably isn’t the place to set off on that solo trek through the wilderness you’ve been thinking about.</p>

<p>Based on our years of experience of traveling all over the world, we would never leave home without travel insurance. We recommend going with World Nomads due to their extensive adventure travel coverage. For those who are only traveling month on month, Safety Wing can also be a good alternative as they offer renewable monthly insurance plans.</p>

<p>Language: Lao, sometimes referred to as Laotian, is the official language of Laos. It’s closely related to Thai, so much so that if you speak Thai, you’ll be able to get by in Laos just fine. Luckily, many of the Lao people speak a bit of English, so even if you’re not fluent in Thai (like me) you’ll still be able to manage on your own while traveling there. Different dialects are spoken in the different regions of the country, but all are pretty similar. If you want to learn a few basics, here is our guide on Lao for travelers.</p>

<p>Festivals and Celebrations: Holidays in Laos, like in much of the rest of Southeast Asia, are a blend of traditional and religious and festive and fun. One of the biggest celebrations is the Lao New Year, or Pi Mai Lao, which occurs in April. Much like Thailand’s Songkran, this festival spans three days and erupts into a nationwide water fight. You’ll definitely want to keep your valuables and electronics waterproofed before stepping out into the streets for this celebration.</p>

<p>In May, various villages will take part in Rocket Festivals. Traditionally done as a request for rain, small rockets are sent into the sky throughout this festive weekend. At the height of the country’s hot and dry season, this celebration also becomes a chance to cool down with some Lao beer and let loose a little!</p>

<p>Boun Awk Pansa falls in October and marks the end of the monks’ three-month fast during Buddhist Lent. Traditional offerings are made at temples in the morning, while the atmosphere turns to a party by the evening. Small boats of banana leaves are sent down the rivers adorned with candles and flowers for good luck.</p>

<p>Following Boun Awk Pansa is a boat racing festival. Races are held in many towns throughout the country, but perhaps the biggest and best is in Vientiane. The competitors practice for months beforehand and the entire city comes alive with excitement as they prepare for the races. It’s definitely an experience you won’t want to miss if you’ll be in Laos in October.</p>

<p>Transportation: The transport from one place to the next is fairly easy in Laos and is quite efficient.</p>

<p>Laos has many different kind of transportation such as Tuk tuk, motorbike, car, bus, train, flight, boat, so it depend on your trip, you will choice the reasonable transportation in Laos</p>

<p>LAOS TRIP PLANNING</p>

<p>Best Time to Go</p>

<p>The most popular time to visit Laos is from November to January when the weather is the coolest. However, if you’ll be in the far north of the country, the temperatures during this time can get pretty cold in the evenings, sometimes dipping close to freezing.</p>

<p>Really, you can visit Laos any time of year. The only time I’d really avoid is March and April, when the height of the hot season culminates with the burning of the fields, creating air that is as smoky as it is humid. The cool season runs from October until February. March, April, and May are the warmest months, and from May to June the rainy season begins.</p>

<p>If you’ll be traveling from May-September, be sure to pack a rain jacket or bring a poncho. While it won’t be raining all day every day, it’s highly likely that you’ll at least experience afternoon showers during that time.</p>

<p>What to Pack for Traveling Laos</p>

<p>What to bring… It seems impossible to decide when you’re at home preparing for your trip. But honestly, you won’t need as much as you think you do. Bring clothing suitable for the hot and humid weather, but remember that Laos is a fairly conservative country. Keep in mind, too, that if you’ll be visiting temples, you will have to have your arms and legs covered, so make sure you have pants or a skirt and something other than a tank top. We love this light travel shawl</p>

<p>Bring a sweatshirt or light jacket if you’re traveling in the cool season, and a rain jacket if you’ll be traveling in the wet season. If you’ll be doing any treks or traveling in rural areas, it can be a good idea to bring a water filter (we recommend lifestraw), as the water in Laos is not generally safe to drink.</p>

<p>BEST THINGS TO DO IN LAOS</p>

<p>Experience the heart of Laotian culture in Luang Prabang</p>

<p>Luang Prabang, located in Northern Laos, was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1995. In addition to the architectural sites and impressive temples, there are so many things to do in Luang Prabang. Some people even argue that it’s the most beautiful spot in all of Southeast Asia, which is saying a lot! Hike to waterfalls like the Kuang Si (the biggest in the area), visit the underground caverns or take a trip to the Royal Palace Museum. There’s something for every type of adventurer in Luang Prabang.</p>

<p>Mekong Sunset Cruise–&nbsp; What better way to enjoy the beautiful sunset along the river than by going on a sunset cruise? The tour also includes a light local picnic to top off the experience.</p>

<p>Local Night Food Tour– Discover the best street food stalls and places to eat in Luang Prabang with this local night food scooter tour.</p>

<p>Morning Scooter Tour– Explore the best of Luang Prabang on this beautiful scooter tour with a local guide, visiting temples, a pottery village and more.</p>

<p>Go Tubing in Vang Vieng</p>

<p>Vang Vieng sits along the Nam Song river and is probably best known for being the best place for tubing. Rent a tube and enjoy the local scenery from the lazy comfort of a river inflatable. Thankfully, the tubing in Vang Vieng is no longer as crazy as it once was due to the many drunken river accidents. Nowadays, although the tubing is still one big party, it is also slowly rebranding itself as a top-notch adventure destination. While this might be what attracts the most visitors, there are plenty of other activities in Vang Vieng as well. Huge caves, crystal blue lagoons, and busy markets make it one of Laos’ most charming towns.</p>

<p>Visit the Buddha Park outside Vientiane</p>

<p>If you spend any time in neighboring countries like Thailand, you’ll quickly learn that Vientiane is the most commonly visited spot in Laos. There’s an easy explanation for that, and it’s not that it’s the most beautiful or exciting place. It’s because there’s a Thai consulate there, which is the place you need to go in order to pick a new visa. And there’s one huge complaint from tourists who have spent time there–it’s boring!</p>

<p>If you do find yourself in Vientiane, be sure to travel just outside the city to Buddha Park. Filled with statues and sculptures of the Buddha as well as of Hindu gods and demons, the park is a great place to spend a quiet afternoon. And when you’re in the city of Vientiane, be sure to check out all the temples and museums there too as there are a few interesting ones.</p>

<p>Explore the Plain of Jars</p>

<p>One of the country’s strangest landmarks, the Plain of Jars contains dozens of stone “jars” that date back thousands of years. Calling them jars seems like a bit of a stretch since they range from 3 to 10 feet tall and weigh around 14 tons each. While the site is becoming more accessible to visitors, it’s definitely not a place you want to wander around alone, since many of the surrounding areas contain unexploded ordinances, which you definitely don’t want to step on. If you’re up to the adventure, you can fly to Phonsavan and arrange travel to the sites from your guesthouse or hotel. Definitely, a unique spot to visit!</p>

<p>Head Outdoors</p>

<p>One of the most beautiful things about Laos is the fact that it is surrounded by so much nature. Our best advice is to get out there and see it all! From the waterfall studded Bolaven Plateau, the epic Thakhek Loop motorcycle trip, chilling out in the 4000 islands, all the way to seeing ancient temples and ruins near the Champasak Province there are heaps of things to do in Laos that involve the great outdoors.</p>

<p>If traveling by yourself isn’t your jam, check out the variety of tours that Asian Discovery Travel has and the details and dates of each trip. We suggest using the filters in the sidebar to help you find a tour that fits your travel dates and travel style.</p>

<p>WHAT TO EAT IN LAOS</p>

<p>Lao food is closely related to Thai food, and they share many of the same traditional dishes. If you want to learn more about the local cuisine, you can opt to take a cooking class in Laos. Alternatively, we’ve also listed some of our favorite Laotian food below.</p>

<p>Sticky rice (Khao Niaw): While rice is prevalent all over Asia, in Laos especially sticky rice is popular. Served at most meals, often in tiny woven baskets, it’s the perfect accompaniment to any dish.</p>

<p>Laab (minced meat salad): Cooked with lime juice, garlic, and other herbs, this meat “salad” can be made with almost any meat, including beef, pork, duck, and fish. This is one of the most well-known dishes in Laos and can be made with cooked meat, or raw (usually only the duck and fish are served raw). Different restaurants and street stalls with each have their own version of the dish, but wherever you go, it’s definitely worth a try.</p>

<p>Papaya Salad: This dish is made with shredded, unripe papaya, fish sauce, and a variety of meat and vegetable additions. Though originally a Lao dish, it was made more popular when it was imported in Thailand. The Lao version is a bit saltier and might be a more acquired taste to some travelers. Be careful if you don’t like spicy food because even this cold salad can pack a punch!</p>

<p>Mok Pa (Steamed fish in banana leaves): A perfect food to eat with sticky rice, this fish delicacy comes neatly packaged in a banana leaf tied up with a bamboo string. The fish is soaked in vibrant local flavors like lemongrass, kaffir lime, onions, and fish sauce and then cooked to perfection.</p>

<p>Check out our full list of what to eat in Laos for more delicious suggestions! If you can’t get enough of the food in Laos, we highly recommend taking the time to attend a cooking class in Laos which will teach you all about the incredible flavors that their local cuisine is made up of.</p>

<p>PLACES TO STAY IN LAOS</p>

<p>As Laos becomes an increasingly popular destination for travelers and tourists, the selection of hostels and hotels grows, too. Laos has many kind of hotel from cheap hostel stay or a regal hotel experience,&nbsp; you can contact to Asian Discovery Travel to know our recommendations for where to stay during your trip to Laos.</p>

<p><strong><span style="font-size:48px">MYANMAR TRAVEL GUIDE</span></strong></p>

Myanmar:</p>

<p>Population 55 million</p>

<p>Language Burmese (Myanmar)</p>

<p>Currency Kyat (K)</p>

<p>Capital Nay Pyi Taw</p>

<p>International phone code +95</p>

<p>Time zone GMT + 6hr 30min</p>

<p>A beautiful and culturally rich country cursed for decades with a brutally oppressive regime, Myanmar (Burma) has in recent years been making headlines for its tentative steps towards democracy. Following the softening and then removal of a fifteen-year tourism boycott led by the National League for Democracy – Myanmar’s leading political opposition party – tourist numbers have swollen but the infrastructure has not yet grown to accommodate them all. Although this means that finding a cheap bed is harder than before, it does make this a fascinating time to discover Myanmar’s glittering golden stupas, bountiful rice fields, enigmatic ruined temples and picturesque mountain paths. Most memorable of all, though, are the encounters with people eager to introduce foreigners to their country and their culture.</p>

<p><strong>Where to go in Myanmar (Burma)</strong></p>

<p>Although there are now affordable flights from Bangkok to Mandalay, most people still start their visit in Yangon (Rangoon). This former capital makes a great introduction to the country, with evocative colonial-era buildings, some of the country’s best restaurants and the unmissable Shwedagon Paya – the holiest Buddhist site in the country. Relatively few tourists head southeast from Yangon, other than to the precariously balanced Golden Rock at Kyaiktiyo, but Mawlamyine and Hpa-an are great places to hang out, whether you’re exploring caves full of Buddhist art, sleeping at a mountain-top monastery or visiting home-based workshops.</p>

<p>West of Yangon are a handful of beaches, with Ngapali the most highly regarded, but Chaung Tha and Ngwe Saung much more affordable. Most travellers instead hasten north to Mandalay, the hub for ‘Upper Burma’ and the base for visiting the remains of several former capital cities, or to Bagan further west for its stunning temple-strewn plains. East of Mandalay is Kalaw, the starting point for some great walks. A trek from Kalaw is one way to reach the magnificent Inle Lake, with its stilt villages and famous leg-rowing fishermen. If time allows, a trip on the Ayeyarwady (Irrawaddy) River around Katha and Bhamo offers a great chance to meet locals, as do the hiking routes around Hsipaw in Shan State, which pass through ethnic minority villages.</p>

<p><strong>The ethics of visiting Myanmar</strong></p>

<p>The question of whether to visit Myanmar – and if so, how to minimize any negative impact of that decision – has long been a complicated one. For many years, the official position of the National League for Democracy (NLD), the opposition political party of which Aung San Suu Kyi is the Chairperson and General Secretary, was to urge foreigners not to visit the country as it put money directly into the pockets of the regime. Still, some tourists did visit each year, arguing that the majority of their money was actually going to individuals and private businesses. Similarly, many people within Myanmar felt it was important that foreigners visited to see the truth of what was happening. In 2010, the NLD softened its stance, saying that it only opposed package and cruise tourism. Then, in May 2012, in the wake of the UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon urging an easing of international sanctions against Myanmar, the NLD dropped the boycott entirely. Nevertheless, it would be a mistake to think that the ethical dilemma has completely gone away. Although the new government is nominally civilian, in reality the same military figures are still largely in charge. In addition the prominent business leaders commonly described as cronies – who became rich through dealing with the regime, and in some cases allegedly through trading in arms or drugs – still own many of the country’s largest businesses, including hotel groups, banks and airlines. And although the government is praised internationally for reforms such as the release of some (but not all) political prisoners and a reduction in censorship (so that NLD posters are now a common sight), some people within the country see these as surface changes intended to please foreigners – particularly the US, which hopes to lure Myanmar away from its main trading partner, China – rather than anything more fundamental.</p>

<p>Furthermore, it should be remembered that the suppression of dissent and suspension of the democratic process were not the military junta’s only crimes. It was also fighting what has been described as the world’s longest-running civil war, with policies that amounted to ethnic cleansing and – in the eyes of some observers – attempted genocide. Although ceasefires have been signed with some of the ethnic militias, vast swathes of the country – particularly in northern Kachin State – remain off-limits to tourists while the new government continues to fight with rebel armies (some of which, it must be admitted, are motivated as much by profit from the drug trade as they are by a thirst for democracy). If free and fair elections are held in 2015 then the NLD is expected to win a landslide victory, but it remains to be seen how they propose to keep the peace with ethnic minority groups who consider the NLD to represent only the Bamar majority – particularly if the military’s stranglehold is weakened as democracy takes root. Already the NLD has been accused of becoming too close to the generals and their cronies as it seeks their political support and funding for social projects. Some compromise is inevitable, not least because the military can veto a proposed change to the constitution to allow Aung San Suu Kyi (as someone who married a foreign national) to run for President.</p>

<p>Bearing all this in mind, travellers should consider limiting the amount of their money that makes it to the government and its associates. Some expenses are unavoidable, including visa fees, while others are hard to avoid if you want to see some of the main tourist attractions, such as the $10 multi-site fee in Mandalay. It can also be difficult to know exactly which businesses in Myanmar are affiliated with the government or its cronies. On the other hand, by staying in budget accommodation your money is already more likely to be going to ordinary individuals or small family businesses than to companies with strong government links (and in this guide we have tried to avoid recommending such places). The same goes for services such as vehicle hire or trekking guides – there are plenty of opportunities to use small companies and freelancers, which often leads to a better experience anyway. Some visitors also consider avoiding planes and even trains (which are operated by the government).</p>

<p>Culture and Etiquette in Myanmar (Burma)</p>

<p>Most women and girls, as well as some men and boys, use thănăk’à (a paste made from ground bark) on their faces; traditionally thought to improve the skin and act as a sunblock, it is often applied as a circle or stripe on each cheek.</p>

<p>Avoid touching another person’s head, as it is considered the most sacred part of the body; feet are unclean and so when sitting don’t point your feet at anyone or towards images of the Buddha. Remove your shoes before entering a Buddhist site or a home. Always use your right hand when shaking hands or passing something to someone, as the left hand is traditionally used for toilet ablutions; however, locals do use their left hand to “support” their right arm when shaking hands.</p>

<p>Most people in the country are Buddhist although there are significant Muslim and Christian minorities. Men are expected to experience life in a monastery twice in their lives, once when a child and once as an adult, although this is only for a short time unless they become a novice. Most Buddhists also believe in nats, spirits rooted in older animist traditions, which are now considered to be the Buddha’s disciples. These supernatural beings take an interest in the actions of humans, and may need to be propitiated.</p>

<p>Considering the social conservatism of Myanmar’s society it is interesting to note that while in the past most nat kădaws (spirit mediums) were women, today most are gay men and many are either transgendered or transvestites. A nat-pwèh (spirit festival) held, for example, at the start of a new business enterprise is an occasion on which people have license to sing, cheer and show emotions which would otherwise be repressed in public. Homosexuality is, however, technically illegal in Myanmar – for tourists as well as locals – and punishable by fines or imprisonment, but this is rarely enforced in practice. There is a discreet gay scene in Yangon, but little elsewhere.</p>

<p>Myanmar (Burma) for planning and on the go</p>

<p>Crime and personal safety</p>

<p>Very few foreign tourists are victims of crime in Myanmar, possibly because the penalties for stealing from tourists are severe. There are, however, occasional reports of opportunistic theft such as of cameras left charging on ferries while the owners wander the decks.</p>

<p>Although the government is engaged in conflict with ethnic resistance groups in several parts of the country, if there’s any danger in an area then it will be closed to foreigners both for their protection and to keep the violence hidden away from international attention. No resistance groups have been known to target tourists.</p>

<p>Although the quasi-civilian government inaugurated in 2011 has taken steps to reduce censorship and released some political prisoners, Myanmar is still far from being a place where freedom of speech can be taken for granted and violence is still regularly used against dissenters and protesters. It is still therefore wise to avoid raising political topics in conversation, as local people can be nervous about finding themselves in trouble; let them take the lead, and be discreet. Also think twice before taking photographs of bridges, police stations and anywhere else where doing so might be considered a security risk.</p>

<p>Health</p>

<p>The quality of health care in Myanmar is generally poor. Routine advice and treatment are available in Yangon and Mandalay but elsewhere the hospitals often lack basic supplies, and some suffer under corrupt administrations. Avoid surgery and dental work, as hygiene standards cannot be relied upon; if you are seriously ill then contact your embassy for advice, and expect international-quality care to be expensive (and possibly to require payment up front). As always, it is important to travel with insurance covering medical care, including emergency evacuation.</p>

<p>Minor injuries and ailments can be dealt with by pharmacists, particularly in major tourist areas where they are more likely to speak English. Pharmacists offer many things over the counter without prescription, although there are serious issues with fake and out-of-date medication.</p>

<p>Emergency numbers</p>

<p>Police t 199</p>

<p>Ambulance t 192</p>

<p>Fire t191</p>

<p>Internet</p>

<p>There are now internet cafés in most towns and cities, almost all with printers and some offering services such as Skype; in addition, some hotels and guesthouses have wi-fi access. Connections are unreliable and can be frustratingly slow; unsurprisingly, high-end hotels tend to be the best bet and it’s normally possible to use the wi-fi if you buy something in their café. Since 2010, censorship of the web has been much less severe and most popular web-based mail can be accessed. Avoid accessing a PayPal account from Myanmar, as it may be blocked.</p>

<p>Information and maps</p>

<p>The best sources of information, besides other travellers and some online resources, are generally the staff at guesthouses. Some of the best of these places are well used to meeting the needs of visitors, providing maps and advice on how to explore the area. The state tourist offices, operated by Myanmar Travels &amp; Tours (MTT), are generally not especially helpful, although you will need to visit one if you want to apply for a permit to travel to a restricted area. They also give out free copies of maps published by Design Printing Services (dpsmap.com), including a detailed one of Bagan and one covering several major cities. Outside of Myanmar, you can buy a number of maps of the country, including the Reise Know How 1:1,500,000 and Globetrotter 1:1,700,000 (the latter also includes some city maps).</p>

<p>Mail</p>

<p>The postal service in Myanmar is not known for its efficiency; sending postcards is cheap but they often do not reach their destinations. Post offices are typically open Monday to Friday 9.30am to 4.30pm and sometimes on Saturday mornings, and many have an EMS (Express Mail Service) counter offering faster and more reliable international delivery.</p>

<p>Money and banks</p>

<p>Myanmar’s currency is the kyat (pronounced “chat”), usually abbreviated as K, Ks or MMK. Notes are available in denominations of K1, K5, K10, K20, K50, K100, K200, K500, K1000, K5000 and K10,000, although the lowest value you are likely to encounter is the K50 note. At the time of writing the exchange rate was K860 to $1, K1300 to £1, and K1120 to €1; high-value notes (particularly $100 bills) attract the best exchange rates, so bring those to change. Although at one time the official rate was artificially low and most people changed money on the black market, today banks offer a realistic rate and it is not worth using the black market. It is never a good idea to change money in the street, even if the rate sounds good, as scams are common. Note also that kyat cannot be bought or sold overseas, so you should change any leftover currency before leaving the country.</p>

<p>Kyat are used to pay for food, bus tickets, taxi journeys and items in ordinary shops or markets, but US dollars (and possibly euros, although don’t rely on it) must be used for government services including train tickets and entry fees for major tourist attractions. There are also some circumstances in which US dollars are preferred but not required, notably at hotels and guesthouses but also in some tourist-oriented shops. In these cases, prices are quoted in dollars and if payment is made in kyat then it is usually at a poorer rate than you’d get in a bank. It’s a good idea to bring plenty of low-denomination dollar notes for these situations. Note that it is essential that any currency which you intend to change within Myanmar is pristine, and that US dollars were issued in 2006 or later. Notes that are creased, torn or marked in any way – however minor – may not be accepted by banks, hotels or any other outlets; if they do take them then it is likely to be at a reduced rate.

			'content' => '<p>Travel planning is the ultimate way to take on a stress-free vacation to Halong Bay. However, it is sometimes stressful because there are many things to take into consideration such as when is the best time to visit Halong Bay? How to achieve a smooth and fun-filled journey? With first-hand knowledge and deep insight about Halong Bay, our complete guide below will hopefully make everything easier for you.</p>

<p><img src="/app/webroot/uploads/images/1687780471801.jpg" /></p>

<p>* Best time to visit Halong Bay: March, April, May, October, November, and December.</p>

<p>* For sightseeing trips: April, May, June, October, November, and December.</p>

<p>* For outdoor activities: March, April, May and June.</p>

<p>* For money saving: late May, June, July, August, and early September.</p>

<p><strong>1. Best Time by Weather</strong></p>

<p>Featuring the tropical hot climate of Northern Vietnam, Halong Bay weather is characterized by two distinct patterns: hot &amp; humid summer and cold winter. Between these seasons, there are also transitional seasons called spring and autumn in a short period of time.</p>

<p><strong>Spring (March to April):&nbsp;</strong>Pleasant, dry weather makes spring among the best time to go on an overnight trip to the bay. The temperatures range between 18&deg;C and 23&deg;C. During these months, you can also expect to soak up the gentle sunshine and little rainfall, perfect for sightseeing excursions and outdoor activities.</p>

<p><strong>Summer (May&nbsp;to&nbsp;September):</strong>&nbsp;Regarded as the off-peak season, especially for foreigners, the hot and humid summer can be really irritated and harsh for travelers. Extreme heat usually lasts all day long, 30&deg;C on average so sunscreen is very essential. The hottest months are June, July, and August. In addition, August receives the highest precipitation and high risks of storms. Despite that, on the plus side, summer enables beach bums to freely enjoy a dip in the cool water and take part in multiple water-based activities. Budget-minded travelers can also save a great sum of money since many tour operations offer promotions, discounts during this season.</p>

<p><img src="/app/webroot/uploads/images/16877806101091.jpg" /></p>

<p style="text-align:center"><em>Beautiful Halong Bay in Summer Time (May)</em></p>

<p><strong>Fall (Late September - October):</strong>&nbsp;Lasting too short but autumn is always the best season of the year. This is also the second peak tourist season in Halong Bay. Your cruise vacation will also be more tempting with less rain and more sunshine, ideal for going out.</p>

<p><strong>Winter (November - February):&nbsp;</strong>Winter without a doubt is the coldest time of the year. The temperatures drop down to around 10&deg;C and 20&deg;C and the weather is dry. Therefore, swimming is almost impossible during this time and thick fog in the early morning may obstruct your vision. One plus point of winter is that this is the festival season with several important occasions like Christmas, New Year, and Lunar New Year.</p>

<p><strong>Summary</strong></p>

<ul>
	<li>
	<p>January&nbsp;and&nbsp;December&nbsp;saw the highest number of rainy days (19/30)</p>
	</li>
	<li>
	<p>April&nbsp;had the highest rainfall (143mm)</p>
	</li>
	<li>
	<p>May had the least rainy days (03)</p>
	</li>
</ul>

<p>Verdict: For optimum weather conditions, the best months to visit Halong Bay are probably April and May. The weather will likely be warm but not too hot, there will be fewer rain showers and more sunshine.</p>

<p><strong>2. Popularity: Peak vs Off-Peak Season</strong></p>

<p><img src="/app/webroot/uploads/images/1687780726261.jpg" /></p>

<p style="text-align:center"><em>Cruises Docking at Tuan Chau Marina</em></p>

<p>Peak season naturally means higher prices and more tourists, however, you will enjoy better weather conditions at this time. In contrast, the off-peak season means discounts on tours and accommodation with a higher risk of weather warnings.</p>

<p>Peak season makes up most of the year, but it really peaks in summer when many Vietnamese people take their annual vacation, adding domestic tourists to the usual mash of international tourists. Prices become more inflated and there may be long waits to see attractions.</p>

<p>The off-peak season tends to be in the mid-to-late summer months, as the weather is not ideal for a Halong Bay Cruise due to the higher risk of bad weather. Prices drop to a more acceptable rate and the crowds disperse.</p>

<p>Verdict:</p>

<p>A happy medium would be in the months of&nbsp;March&nbsp;to May, in between the peak and off-peak seasons. There are fewer international travelers meaning that prices are typically not at their highest and there are fewer crowds. Then there&rsquo;s the added bonus of better weather compared to the rest of the year - not too hot, or too wet. What more could you ask for?!</p>

<p><strong>3. Best Time by Event Calendar</strong></p>

<p><img src="/app/webroot/uploads/images/1687780819111.jpg" /></p>

			'content_search' => 'travel planning is the ultimate way to take on a stress-free vacation to halong bay. however, it is sometimes stressful because there are many things to take into consideration such as when is the best time to visit halong bay? how to achieve a smooth and fun-filled journey? with first-hand knowledge and deep insight about halong bay, our complete guide below will hopefully make everything easier for you.



* best time to visit halong bay: march, april, may, october, november, and december.

* for sightseeing trips: april, may, june, october, november, and december.

* for outdoor activities: march, april, may and june.

* for money saving: late may, june, july, august, and early september.

1. best time by weather

featuring the tropical hot climate of northern vietnam, halong bay weather is characterized by two distinct patterns: hot &amp; humid summer and cold winter. between these seasons, there are also transitional seasons called spring and autumn in a short period of time.

spring (march to april):&nbsp;pleasant, dry weather makes spring among the best time to go on an overnight trip to the bay. the temperatures range between 18&deg;c and 23&deg;c. during these months, you can also expect to soak up the gentle sunshine and little rainfall, perfect for sightseeing excursions and outdoor activities.

summer (may&nbsp;to&nbsp;september):&nbsp;regarded as the off-peak season, especially for foreigners, the hot and humid summer can be really irritated and harsh for travelers. extreme heat usually lasts all day long, 30&deg;c on average so sunscreen is very essential. the hottest months are june, july, and august. in addition, august receives the highest precipitation and high risks of storms. despite that, on the plus side, summer enables beach bums to freely enjoy a dip in the cool water and take part in multiple water-based activities. budget-minded travelers can also save a great sum of money since many tour operations offer promotions, discounts during this season.

fall (late september - october):&nbsp;lasting too short but autumn is always the best season of the year. this is also the second peak tourist season in halong bay. your cruise vacation will also be more tempting with less rain and more sunshine, ideal for going out.

winter (november - february):&nbsp;winter without a doubt is the coldest time of the year. the temperatures drop down to around 10&deg;c and 20&deg;c and the weather is dry. therefore, swimming is almost impossible during this time and thick fog in the early morning may obstruct your vision. one plus point of winter is that this is the festival season with several important occasions like christmas, new year, and lunar new year.

summary


	
	january&nbsp;and&nbsp;december&nbsp;saw the highest number of rainy days (19/30)
	
	
	april&nbsp;had the highest rainfall (143mm)
	
	
	may had the least rainy days (03)
	


verdict: for optimum weather conditions, the best months to visit halong bay are probably april and may. the weather will likely be warm but not too hot, there will be fewer rain showers and more sunshine.

2. popularity: peak vs off-peak season

peak season naturally means higher prices and more tourists, however, you will enjoy better weather conditions at this time. in contrast, the off-peak season means discounts on tours and accommodation with a higher risk of weather warnings.

peak season makes up most of the year, but it really peaks in summer when many vietnamese people take their annual vacation, adding domestic tourists to the usual mash of international tourists. prices become more inflated and there may be long waits to see attractions.

the off-peak season tends to be in the mid-to-late summer months, as the weather is not ideal for a halong bay cruise due to the higher risk of bad weather. prices drop to a more acceptable rate and the crowds disperse.

verdict:

a happy medium would be in the months of&nbsp;march&nbsp;to may, in between the peak and off-peak seasons. there are fewer international travelers meaning that prices are typically not at their highest and there are fewer crowds. then there&rsquo;s the added bonus of better weather compared to the rest of the year - not too hot, or too wet. what more could you ask for?!

3. best time by event calendar

<p>Vietnamese architecture expresses a graceful aesthetic of natural balance and harmony that is evident in any of the country’s vast numbers of historic temples and monasteries. The pre-eminent architectural form is the pagoda, a tower comprised of a series of stepped pyramidal structures and frequently adorned with lavish carvings and painted ornamentation. Generally speaking, the pagoda form symbolizes the human desire to bridge the gap between the constraints of earthly existence and the perfection of heavenly forces. Pagodas are found in every province of Vietnam. One of the most treasured is the Thien Mu Pagoda in Hue, founded in 1601 and completed more than two hundred years later. In North Vietnam, the pagodas that serve as the shrines and temples of the Son La mountains are especially worth visiting.

There is a balance of sweet and sour, spicy and cooling, fresh and salty flavors (from the Vietnamese staple fermented fish sauce, or ‘nuoc mam’). This balance of ying and yang is typical with most Asian cuisines.</p>

<p>The food in the north of Vietnam is derived by neighboring China. Stir fries and noodle soups are common. Towards the south, food becomes sweeter, and mixes flavors from Cambodia and Thailand.The Mekong Delta in the south, aptly named the “the rice bowl” of Vietnam, is incredibly fertile, with a tropical climate, sustaining more rice paddies and coconut groves . In fact, Vietnam rice production is the second biggest rice exporter in the world (after Thailand). Rice is a central part of the Vietnamese diet, and steamed rice is part of almost every meal. It is also transformed into ingredients such as rice noodles, rice paper for spring rolls, rice vinegar, and rice wine.</p>

<p>Just as essential to Vietnamese cuisine, is pungent fish sauce, at the heart of Vietnamese cooking. Anchovies are fermented for about six months to make it, and it is used to season most dishes (just like salt is used in the West). Vietnamese cuisine is fresh, healthy and light, characterised by Spring rool ( Called Nem) and Pho (pronounced fuh), an aromatic rice noodle soup, which is the national dish of Vietnam. It is consumed any time of day – breakfast, lunch or dinner, sold throughout the country, and is a big part of the street food culture. Combined with meat in a meat-y broth, aromatics and herbs such as lemongrass, ginger, mint, parsley and coriander are used with fresh, crunchy vegetables such as cucumber, bean sprouts, chilli and plenty of lime juice.</p>

<p>French colonization of Vietnam, with missionaries first arriving in the 18th century, and formal colonization lasting from the late 19th century until 1945, has imported Vietnamese cuisine.</p>

<p>The most obvious is Banh mi (along with Pho the most internationally popular Vietnamese dish), which uses crusty baguette, introduced by the French during Vietnam’s colonial period, as its foundation. Variations on the classic French crepe can also be found across Vietnam, made their own using spices such as tumeric.</p>

<p>Note:</p>

<p>Pre Departure Check List</p>

<p>– Travel Insurance</p>

<p>– Valid Passport (at least six months remaining) and visa (or two passport pictures as well as 35 US$ for visa on arrival)</p>

<p>– Immunizations/Vaccinations</p>

<p>– Foreign currency (US$) or ATM card</p>

<p>– Flight tickets</p>

<p>– Copy of passport either scanned into email account or separate from the original</p>

<p>Travel Insurance (Compulsory)</p>

<p>Asian Discovery Travel will try our best to ensure you have a safe and good trip. However, certain risks might be occurred and should be identified by participants. Thus, we require all guests to purchase full travel insurance prior to their trip. Travel insurance is the best way to protect yourself and your property in the event of problems due to canceled trips, delays, medical emergencies, baggage loss or damage. It also gives you peace of mind for your trip.</p>

<p>Visa/Passports</p>

<p>Passports should be valid for six months from the date of entry into Vietnam. We recommend you make a copy of your passport and keep it somewhere separate, or scan it and keep it in an accessible email account.Visitors must have a visa before entering Vietnam, and a visa on arrival can only be obtained with a letter of approval. A visa on arrival is granted to many nationalities for stays 15 days or less. Asian Discovery Travel can arrange this for you. Otherwise, you must apply online or at the embassy for all 30-90 day single or multiple entry visas. Some nationalities are eligible for visa exemption.</p>

<p>Currency</p>

<p>The currency of Vietnam is the dong. All goods and services can and should be paid for in dong. Exceptions are made in hotels and when buying international air tickets. Shops and restaurants in the bigger cities will also accept US dollars, but you should be aware of the fact that usually a lower exchange rate will be used. It is therefore advisable to change a certain amount of Vietnamese dong to cover your day-to-day expenses.</p>

<p>Travelers Cheques</p>

<p>Travelers cheques must denominated in US dollars. You can change them to dong or to US dollars (with a 2 percent commission). Those issued by American Express, Bank of America, Citicorp, First National City Bank, Thomas Cook, and Visa are accepted. They are also accepted at major tourist hotels, but not in most shops. Vietnam is still very much a cash economy.</p>

<p>Method payment: Credit Cards</p>

<p>Visa, Master card and – with exceptions – American Express are accepted in virtually every hotel in major cities throughout the country, as well as in upmarket restaurants, especially in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.</p>

<p>Take Care Health</p>

<p>No vaccinations are officially required by the Vietnamese authorities, but immunization against hepatitis, Covid 19, typhoid, tetanus and polio is advised. Vaccination for typhoid fever is recommended for long stay and intensive traveling tourists. Rabies is widespread in Vietnam, so you are advised to avoid dogs and other animals that may bite as a precaution.</p>

<p>Malaria:</p>

<p>Malaria is widespread in the Central Highlands and some parts of the Mekong Delta. The best protection against malaria is to avoid being bitten in the first place. Check with your physician about taking a course of anti-malarial. If it is considered necessary given your itinerary, you might need to begin before your trip and continue for a time after you return. But if you are not traveling to the Central Highlands nor going on overnight treks in the mountain region of Sapa, no anti-malarial drugs are needed. Dengue fever, which is also transmitted by mosquitoes, is often mistaken for malaria. Its symptoms are severe pain in the joints, high fever, and extreme headache. Aside from avoiding being bitten altogether (this mosquito is active in daytime and is often a striped variety), there is no prevention available. Hospital treatment is urgently required.</p>

<p>If you’re looking for the best place to travel in Cambodia, choosing where to go can be tough. When travelling Cambodia, there is so much to discover including cities, villages and breathtaking beaches. This ‘where to go in Cambodia’ guide gives an overview of the destinations worth adding to any Cambodia travel wishlist.</p>

<p>Cambodia’s cities</p>

<p>Phnom Penh is the capital of the Kingdom of Cambodia. The city is an alluring attraction in its own right. The centre has broad appeal, and its French influence is evident in the open-fronted colonial shophouses that line the streets. There are a mind-boggling number of restaurants, bars and cafes to try. Many tourists that travel to Cambodia linger here for the culinary experience. You can also take a boat trip from Phnom Penh along the mighty Mekong and Tonle Sap rivers.</p>

<p>Siem Reap is Cambodia’s principal tourist town. This city offers a gateway to the temples of Angkor. More than one hundred Angkorian monuments lie spread over some 3000 square kilometres of the countryside around the town. Siem Reap retains its small-town charm despite its popularity. It’s a lively city with many activities and attractions including lively Psar Chas Market, buzzing cafes, bars, boutique shops and plentiful nightlife. It’s also a good spot from which to visit the nearby floating villages on the Tonle Sap.</p>

<p>Laidback Battambang is Cambodia’s second biggest city. It is worlds apart from Phnom Penh’s urban bustle. It has a growing number of ex-pats fuelling the growth of arty cafes, restaurants and bars. It’s also home to impressive colonial architecture. You can take a countryside ride on its quirky bamboo railway.</p>

<p>Kompong Cham is Eastern Cambodia’s largest city. The waterfront is particularly attractive, with a string of colonial buildings lined up along the Mekong.</p>

<p>Temples of Angkor</p>

<p>For most tourists that choose to come here, their Cambodia trip is not complete without a visit to the unforgettable temples of Angkor. Understandably, this is high on the list for many who travel Cambodia as it is one of the most important archaeological sites of Southeast Asia. The awe-inspiring Angkor Wat is the most famous of the temples dominated by five corncob towers. Visit early in the morning to avoid some of the crowds. The temples attract some two million visitors per year. Visit How to see Angkor Wat without the crowds for more tips.</p>

<p>Southwest Cambodia &amp; The Southern Islands</p>

<p>Visit the Southwest to discover miles of unspoilt beaches, hidden coves and idyllic Cambodian islands. Sihanoukville is the most popular beach resort. Ochheuteal Beach and Serendipity Beach Road justify their party town reputation. There are quieter spots too, particularly around Otres, 6km away. Sihanoukville is also the entry point to the islands of Koh Rong, Koh Rong Samloem and Koh Ta Kiev. Koh Rong has a buzzing backpacker strip at Koh Toch. The beaches at Long Set and Long Beach along the west coast are more laidback. Peaceful Koh Ta Tiev retains a real castaway vibe. Remember to take cash as there are no ATM’s on the islands.</p>

<p>Ream National Park is 18km east of Sihanoukville. It’s a great place to explore Cambodia’s unspoilt natural environment. The park is evergreen with mangrove forests, sandy beaches, coral reefs, and offshore islands. The riverside town of Kampot with the backdrop of misty Bokor mountains is one of Cambodia’s most appealing towns to add to your Cambodia trip itinerary. 25km southeast of Kampot, Kep is a favourite with ex-pats and Cambodians who descend at the weekend. They are attracted by its delicious, inexpensive seafood, freshly plucked from the ocean.</p>

<p>Eastern Cambodia</p>

<p>If you travel to Cambodia and you like nature and wildlife, the east is the place to be. There are patches of dense, unspoilt rainforest that remain in Eastern Cambodia. The riverside town of Kratie is an excellent base for exploring the nearby countryside. Just over 20km from Kratie is Kampie which provides the best riverside vantage point to view a pod of rare freshwater Irrawaddy dolphins. It’s thought that only around eighty remain in the entire Mekong river.</p>

<p>Tucked away in the forest near the sleepy capital of Banlung in the Rattanakiri province, there is a trio of impressive nearby waterfalls Ka Chhang, Katieng and Chha Ong.</p>

<p>Best time to go to Cambodia</p>

<p>Figuring out the best time to travel Cambodia depends on what you plan to do when you arrive. Cambodia is warm all year round, but it has a rainy season too.</p>

<p>If you visit Cambodia between March and May, the temperatures and humidity are higher. Visiting at this time can still be a good choice if you are hitting the coast. If you are travelling Cambodia to explore the temples, the season between November and February is cool enough for sightseeing. December and January can be the most popular time for tourists.</p>

<p>Travel Cambodia in the rainy season, and you’ll find the countryside at its lushest. Travelling around Cambodia during this season can present some practical challenges and flooding is commonplace. However, the mornings are usually dry as the rain mainly falls in the afternoon. If you do choose to go visit in the rainy season, you’ll avoid the crowds too. Contact to Asian Discovery Travel to get advise when to go to Cambodia.</p>

<p>How to get to Cambodia</p>

<p>The busiest International Airports are Phnom Penh and Siem Reap. There aren’t any direct flights from Europe to Cambodia. You can reach Phnom Penh, and Siem Reap via Hong Kong, Singapore, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Ho Chi Minh City and several other destinations. Contact to Asian Discovery Travel to know more detail.</p>

<p>It’s also possible to travel overland into Cambodia from neighbouring countries. You can cross the border at several spots in Thailand, Vietnam and Laos.</p>

<p>Asian Discovery Travel will give you more information in Getting to Cambodia.</p>

<p>How to get around Cambodia</p>

<p>When planning how to travel around Cambodia, consider the transport as part of the adventure.</p>

<p>Roads have seen massive improvements in the past five years, so getting around the country is much easier than it once was. The bus system provides connections between all major towns. The bus offers the cheapest and usually the most convenient way to travel.</p>

<p>Minibuses and ‘share taxis’ are also other options to travel by road. Share taxis are faster than taking the bus, but they do get absurdly packed. You can ask to pay roughly double the standard fare to have a front seat to yourself. You could also pay to hire the entire taxi.</p>

<p>For short local trips, you can hire a motorcycle or ‘moto’ for the day or a tuk-tuk. A tuk-tuk is a passenger carriage pulled by a motorbike. It’s virtually impossible to rent a self-drive car in Cambodia, but you can hire a car with a driver. Three-wheeled cycle rickshaws called cyclos are also available in Phnom Penh for short trips.</p>

<p>10 best places to visit in Cambodia</p>

<p>Why travel to Cambodia? Here are 10 of the best places to travel in Cambodia. These highlights are sure to convince any traveller to include Cambodia on their itinerary when taking a trip to Southeast Asia.</p>

<p>The Royal Palace in Phnom PenhThe Royal Palace and Silver Pagoda in Phnom Penh are the city’s finest example of twentieth-century Khmer influenced architecture. The Royal Palace is set back from the riverbank on Sothearos Boulevard. You can stroll this complex of regal structures and perfectly manicured grounds. While there, you will gain an insight into Cambodia’s past and present. A blue flag flies when the King is in residence. While the palace itself is off-limits, it’s possible to visit several buildings within the grounds. The Silver Pagoda is named for its floor which is covered in gleaming silver.</p>

<p>Temples of AngkorThe Temples of Angkor are world-renowned and house some of the country’s finest monuments. More than one hundred Angkorian monuments lie spread over some 3000 square kilometres of the countryside. The best-known monuments are the vast temple of Angkor Wat and the walled city of Angkor Thom. During the Angkorian period, the ruling god-kings built imposing temples as a way of asserting their divinity. They left a legacy of more than one hundred temples constructed between the ninth and fifteenth centuries. The full magnificence of Angkor Wat represents the height of Khmer art. The pretty tenth-century temple of Banteay Srei is unique, made from unusual pink sandstone and with intricate ornamentation.</p>

<p>Koh Ta TievPeaceful Koh Ta Tiev is one of the southern islands, and it’s a tropical paradise retaining a real castaway vibe. There are several types of accommodation to choose from, and you can even camp or sleep in a hammock between two trees over the sand. There is limited electricity on the island and no wifi. Spend your days’ jungle trekking, snorkelling, or experiencing authentic Khmer cooking.</p>

<p>BattambangBattambang is Cambodia’s second largest city, but it’s often overlooked. It’s a bustling city that is both welcoming and laidback. Its lush surrounding countryside is ideal for bike rides, and it’s easy to get out on the water by kayak. You can whizz past rice paddies and rattle over bridges when you ride the quirky bamboo railway too.</p>

<p>KampotThe riverside Kampot is one of Cambodia’s most appealing towns with the backdrop of misty Bokor Mountains. At Kampot, you can potter along the river for a swim or sunset cruise. You could also head into the mountains to explore caves. Kampot is also a base from which to explore the region’s famed pepper plantations. Bokor National Park is home to an abandoned 1920s hotel and casino. Kampot has a friendly but low key nightlife.</p>

<p>KepKep is renowned throughout Cambodia for its delicious, inexpensive seafood. It’s heaven for seafood connoisseurs. You can get fresh crab straight from the sea at the crab market on the western seafront. It’s also a good base from which to go on an island boat tour. Head over to the palm-fringed beach of Rabbit Island or Koh Tonsay.</p>

<p>Floating villages on Tonle SapTonle Sap lake is home to dozens of picturesque floating villages. Explore the fascinating houses built from bamboo and raised on stilts; they are mainly inhabited by Vietnamese fisherman. You’ll pass floating markets, schools and pagodas and learn more about local life.</p>

<p>Irrawaddy DolphinsAround 20km north of Kratie is Kampie. It offers the best riverside vantage point to spot the rare freshwater Irrawaddy dolphins. It is expected that only around eighty remain in the entire Mekong. The Irrawaddy dolphins look very much like porpoises. The Irrawaddy dolphin has been added to the IUCN Red List as a critically endangered species. The dolphin-watching site is now run as an ecotourism project by the local community.</p>

<p>Ream National ParkReam National Park is one of Cambodia’s most accessible national parks. Here you can explore Cambodia’s unspoilt natural environment with mangrove forests, sandy beaches and rich diversity of flora and fauna. You are likely to see kingfishers, eagles and monkeys.</p>

<p>Trekking in RattanakiriTrek into the forest of Rattanakiri, the capital Banlung is surrounded by peaceful countryside. It is dotted with waterfalls and lakes, and it’s also home to the indigenous chunchiet hill tribes. You may spot gibbons, rare birdlife and endangered species in the Virachey National Park.

<p>Accommodation in Cambodia</p>

<p>The main cities in Cambodia have several accommodation options from budget to luxury in Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, Battambang, Sihanoukville and Kep. Camping is theoretically illegal in Cambodia, but is a possibility in some places – for example, on the beaches and islands of the south coast.</p>

<p>Food and drink in Cambodia</p>

<p>Cambodian food has influences from many other countries in Asia and French influence too. Cambodian food is milder than Thai food and often herbs, spices and chilli are served on the side rather than blended into the dish. Dishes are delicately enhanced with flavours like lemongrass and coriander. Cambodia’s national dish is bamboo-leaf infused fish amok. Stir-fries feature on most menus alongside delicious coconut milk curry dishes and rice.</p>

<p>Local variations of typical Vietnamese dishes can also be found too. French influences can also be found on the menus here with endless coffee options and French-style baguettes. You can find Khmer street food at markets and on street stalls. You can fill up on noodle dishes, filled baguettes and stir-fries.</p>

<p>Cambodians drink plenty of green tea and fruit shakes. Stalls are set up in towns all over the country from late afternoon. Also available is iced sugar-cane juice and the juice of green coconuts – all very refreshing. Cambodia’s national beer is Angkor, brewed by an Australian and Cambodian joint venture in Sihanoukville.</p>

<p>Activities in Cambodia</p>

<p>Cambodia has an increasing number of activities and sports. In the northeast, particularly in Banlung and Sen Monorom, local guides can lead groups or individuals on treks into the surrounding jungle and Virachey National Park. Treks can last anything from a day to a week. There is also good trekking in the forested hills around Koh Kong.</p>

<p>Diving in Cambodia</p>

<p>There are excellent opportunities to snorkel and dive in and around Cambodia. There are several PADI dive shops in Sihanoukville and nearby islands offering both certification and fun day trips.</p>

<p>Cycling and kayaking are available in the northeast around the Mekong River. Bike trips can be organised at Kratie, Stung Treng and around Angkor’s temples or the Cardamom Mountains.</p>

<p>Сulture of Cambodia</p>

<p>Those that travel Cambodia will gain more respect from locals if they are well dressed. Both men and women dress conservatively. It’s best to avoid skimpy clothes and shorts unless you are at a beach resort. When visiting temples, it’s best to have both shoulders and legs covered. Remove your shoes before entering a Cambodian temple or Cambodian home. Cambodians themselves are conservative and do their best to keep clean and well presented.</p>

<p>It’s advisable to avoid any displays of public affection between men and women. Even visitors holding hands can be embarrassing for Cambodians.</p>

LAOS AT A GLANCE</p>

<p>Nestled between Thailand and Vietnam in the heart of Southeast Asia, Laos is an often overlooked oasis. From the stellar waterfalls and natural beauty of the north to the cultural icons and museums of the capital, Vientiane, Laos is jam-packed with incredible sights. A large number of visitors only ever make it to Vientiane on visa runs from Thailand, but the country has far more to offer than that. Some of the most beautiful scenery in the region lies in Laos, and it’s definitely worth the trip to explore it.</p>

<p><strong>Laos Quick Information</strong></p>

<p>The current population of the Lao People’s Democratic Republic is 7,429,460</p>

<p><strong>Currency: </strong>Laos Kip. The kip is worth roughly .00012 USD, so don’t panic if you see a sandwich that costs 25,000 kip. That’s normal!</p>

<p><strong>Electricity Socket:</strong> 230V AC electricity. Power outlets are two-prong round or flat sockets. A power adaptor should not be needed if you’re from North America or Europe as the outlets will accommodate both types of plugs. To avoid the hassle of having to buy new adapters for everywhere you go, we recommend picking up a Universal Travel Adaptor before you leave.</p>

<p>Visa: Getting a visa for Laos is super convenient. Just show up at the border, fill in a form, pay, wait, and receive a 30-day tourist visa on arrival. While certain countries in Africa and the Middle East must apply for visas beforehand, most others can just get visas on arrival. Citizens of ASEAN countries, Japan, Switzerland, Russia, and South Korea can get a free visa on arrival valid for 30 days.</p>

<p>The 30-day tourist visa costs between $30 and $42, depending on where you’re from. If you don’t have a passport sized photo with you, it will cost you $1-$2 extra. The visa on arrival process is pretty straightforward and usually doesn’t take more than 10 minutes.</p>

<p>Safety: Overall, Laos is a very safe place to visit. Personally, I’ve felt way more comfortable walking alone there than in most of the places I’ve lived in the US. But as with anywhere you go, it’s good to be cautious. The Lao people are generally friendly and kind, but you should still be smart. Don’t leave money out in your hotel room and keep an eye on your belongings when traveling, especially on a crowded bus. If you’re driving a motorbike, it’s good to keep it locked and parked in paid lots whenever possible to avoid theft.</p>

<p>In some parts of Laos, there are still unexploded ordinances left over from the Indochina War. While they’re mostly in rural areas, some can still be found near routes 7 and 13, so use caution when traveling in these areas. The roads are safe and there’s really nothing to worry about, but this probably isn’t the place to set off on that solo trek through the wilderness you’ve been thinking about.</p>

<p>Based on our years of experience of traveling all over the world, we would never leave home without travel insurance. We recommend going with World Nomads due to their extensive adventure travel coverage. For those who are only traveling month on month, Safety Wing can also be a good alternative as they offer renewable monthly insurance plans.</p>

<p>Language: Lao, sometimes referred to as Laotian, is the official language of Laos. It’s closely related to Thai, so much so that if you speak Thai, you’ll be able to get by in Laos just fine. Luckily, many of the Lao people speak a bit of English, so even if you’re not fluent in Thai (like me) you’ll still be able to manage on your own while traveling there. Different dialects are spoken in the different regions of the country, but all are pretty similar. If you want to learn a few basics, here is our guide on Lao for travelers.</p>

<p>Festivals and Celebrations: Holidays in Laos, like in much of the rest of Southeast Asia, are a blend of traditional and religious and festive and fun. One of the biggest celebrations is the Lao New Year, or Pi Mai Lao, which occurs in April. Much like Thailand’s Songkran, this festival spans three days and erupts into a nationwide water fight. You’ll definitely want to keep your valuables and electronics waterproofed before stepping out into the streets for this celebration.</p>

<p>In May, various villages will take part in Rocket Festivals. Traditionally done as a request for rain, small rockets are sent into the sky throughout this festive weekend. At the height of the country’s hot and dry season, this celebration also becomes a chance to cool down with some Lao beer and let loose a little!</p>

<p>Boun Awk Pansa falls in October and marks the end of the monks’ three-month fast during Buddhist Lent. Traditional offerings are made at temples in the morning, while the atmosphere turns to a party by the evening. Small boats of banana leaves are sent down the rivers adorned with candles and flowers for good luck.</p>

<p>Following Boun Awk Pansa is a boat racing festival. Races are held in many towns throughout the country, but perhaps the biggest and best is in Vientiane. The competitors practice for months beforehand and the entire city comes alive with excitement as they prepare for the races. It’s definitely an experience you won’t want to miss if you’ll be in Laos in October.</p>

<p>Transportation: The transport from one place to the next is fairly easy in Laos and is quite efficient.</p>

<p>Laos has many different kind of transportation such as Tuk tuk, motorbike, car, bus, train, flight, boat, so it depend on your trip, you will choice the reasonable transportation in Laos</p>

<p>LAOS TRIP PLANNING</p>

<p>Best Time to Go</p>

<p>The most popular time to visit Laos is from November to January when the weather is the coolest. However, if you’ll be in the far north of the country, the temperatures during this time can get pretty cold in the evenings, sometimes dipping close to freezing.</p>

<p>Really, you can visit Laos any time of year. The only time I’d really avoid is March and April, when the height of the hot season culminates with the burning of the fields, creating air that is as smoky as it is humid. The cool season runs from October until February. March, April, and May are the warmest months, and from May to June the rainy season begins.</p>

<p>If you’ll be traveling from May-September, be sure to pack a rain jacket or bring a poncho. While it won’t be raining all day every day, it’s highly likely that you’ll at least experience afternoon showers during that time.</p>

<p>What to Pack for Traveling Laos</p>

<p>What to bring… It seems impossible to decide when you’re at home preparing for your trip. But honestly, you won’t need as much as you think you do. Bring clothing suitable for the hot and humid weather, but remember that Laos is a fairly conservative country. Keep in mind, too, that if you’ll be visiting temples, you will have to have your arms and legs covered, so make sure you have pants or a skirt and something other than a tank top. We love this light travel shawl</p>

<p>Bring a sweatshirt or light jacket if you’re traveling in the cool season, and a rain jacket if you’ll be traveling in the wet season. If you’ll be doing any treks or traveling in rural areas, it can be a good idea to bring a water filter (we recommend lifestraw), as the water in Laos is not generally safe to drink.</p>

<p>BEST THINGS TO DO IN LAOS</p>

<p>Experience the heart of Laotian culture in Luang Prabang</p>

<p>Luang Prabang, located in Northern Laos, was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1995. In addition to the architectural sites and impressive temples, there are so many things to do in Luang Prabang. Some people even argue that it’s the most beautiful spot in all of Southeast Asia, which is saying a lot! Hike to waterfalls like the Kuang Si (the biggest in the area), visit the underground caverns or take a trip to the Royal Palace Museum. There’s something for every type of adventurer in Luang Prabang.</p>

<p>Go Tubing in Vang Vieng</p>

<p>Vang Vieng sits along the Nam Song river and is probably best known for being the best place for tubing. Rent a tube and enjoy the local scenery from the lazy comfort of a river inflatable. Thankfully, the tubing in Vang Vieng is no longer as crazy as it once was due to the many drunken river accidents. Nowadays, although the tubing is still one big party, it is also slowly rebranding itself as a top-notch adventure destination. While this might be what attracts the most visitors, there are plenty of other activities in Vang Vieng as well. Huge caves, crystal blue lagoons, and busy markets make it one of Laos’ most charming towns.</p>

<p>Visit the Buddha Park outside Vientiane</p>

<p>If you spend any time in neighboring countries like Thailand, you’ll quickly learn that Vientiane is the most commonly visited spot in Laos. There’s an easy explanation for that, and it’s not that it’s the most beautiful or exciting place. It’s because there’s a Thai consulate there, which is the place you need to go in order to pick a new visa. And there’s one huge complaint from tourists who have spent time there–it’s boring!</p>

<p>If you do find yourself in Vientiane, be sure to travel just outside the city to Buddha Park. Filled with statues and sculptures of the Buddha as well as of Hindu gods and demons, the park is a great place to spend a quiet afternoon. And when you’re in the city of Vientiane, be sure to check out all the temples and museums there too as there are a few interesting ones.</p>

<p>Explore the Plain of Jars</p>

<p>One of the country’s strangest landmarks, the Plain of Jars contains dozens of stone “jars” that date back thousands of years. Calling them jars seems like a bit of a stretch since they range from 3 to 10 feet tall and weigh around 14 tons each. While the site is becoming more accessible to visitors, it’s definitely not a place you want to wander around alone, since many of the surrounding areas contain unexploded ordinances, which you definitely don’t want to step on. If you’re up to the adventure, you can fly to Phonsavan and arrange travel to the sites from your guesthouse or hotel. Definitely, a unique spot to visit!</p>

<p>Head Outdoors</p>

<p>One of the most beautiful things about Laos is the fact that it is surrounded by so much nature. Our best advice is to get out there and see it all! From the waterfall studded Bolaven Plateau, the epic Thakhek Loop motorcycle trip, chilling out in the 4000 islands, all the way to seeing ancient temples and ruins near the Champasak Province there are heaps of things to do in Laos that involve the great outdoors.</p>

<p>WHAT TO EAT IN LAOS</p>

<p>Lao food is closely related to Thai food, and they share many of the same traditional dishes. If you want to learn more about the local cuisine, you can opt to take a cooking class in Laos. Alternatively, we’ve also listed some of our favorite Laotian food below.</p>

<p>Sticky rice (Khao Niaw): While rice is prevalent all over Asia, in Laos especially sticky rice is popular. Served at most meals, often in tiny woven baskets, it’s the perfect accompaniment to any dish.</p>

<p>Laab (minced meat salad): Cooked with lime juice, garlic, and other herbs, this meat “salad” can be made with almost any meat, including beef, pork, duck, and fish. This is one of the most well-known dishes in Laos and can be made with cooked meat, or raw (usually only the duck and fish are served raw). Different restaurants and street stalls with each have their own version of the dish, but wherever you go, it’s definitely worth a try.</p>

<p>Papaya Salad: This dish is made with shredded, unripe papaya, fish sauce, and a variety of meat and vegetable additions. Though originally a Lao dish, it was made more popular when it was imported in Thailand. The Lao version is a bit saltier and might be a more acquired taste to some travelers. Be careful if you don’t like spicy food because even this cold salad can pack a punch!</p>

<p>Mok Pa (Steamed fish in banana leaves): A perfect food to eat with sticky rice, this fish delicacy comes neatly packaged in a banana leaf tied up with a bamboo string. The fish is soaked in vibrant local flavors like lemongrass, kaffir lime, onions, and fish sauce and then cooked to perfection.</p>

<p>Check out our full list of what to eat in Laos for more delicious suggestions! If you can’t get enough of the food in Laos, we highly recommend taking the time to attend a cooking class in Laos which will teach you all about the incredible flavors that their local cuisine is made up of.</p>

<p>PLACES TO STAY IN LAOS</p>

<p>As Laos becomes an increasingly popular destination for travelers and tourists, the selection of hostels and hotels grows, too. Laos has many kind of hotel from cheap hostel stay or a regal hotel experience,&nbsp; you can contact to Asian Discovery Travel to know our recommendations for where to stay during your trip to Laos.</p>

<p>A beautiful and culturally rich country cursed for decades with a brutally oppressive regime, Myanmar (Burma) has in recent years been making headlines for its tentative steps towards democracy. Following the softening and then removal of a fifteen-year tourism boycott led by the National League for Democracy – Myanmar’s leading political opposition party – tourist numbers have swollen but the infrastructure has not yet grown to accommodate them all. Although this means that finding a cheap bed is harder than before, it does make this a fascinating time to discover Myanmar’s glittering golden stupas, bountiful rice fields, enigmatic ruined temples and picturesque mountain paths. Most memorable of all, though, are the encounters with people eager to introduce foreigners to their country and their culture.</p>

<p><strong>Where to go in Myanmar (Burma)</strong></p>

<p>Although there are now affordable flights from Bangkok to Mandalay, most people still start their visit in Yangon (Rangoon). This former capital makes a great introduction to the country, with evocative colonial-era buildings, some of the country’s best restaurants and the unmissable Shwedagon Paya – the holiest Buddhist site in the country. Relatively few tourists head southeast from Yangon, other than to the precariously balanced Golden Rock at Kyaiktiyo, but Mawlamyine and Hpa-an are great places to hang out, whether you’re exploring caves full of Buddhist art, sleeping at a mountain-top monastery or visiting home-based workshops.</p>

<p>West of Yangon are a handful of beaches, with Ngapali the most highly regarded, but Chaung Tha and Ngwe Saung much more affordable. Most travellers instead hasten north to Mandalay, the hub for ‘Upper Burma’ and the base for visiting the remains of several former capital cities, or to Bagan further west for its stunning temple-strewn plains. East of Mandalay is Kalaw, the starting point for some great walks. A trek from Kalaw is one way to reach the magnificent Inle Lake, with its stilt villages and famous leg-rowing fishermen. If time allows, a trip on the Ayeyarwady (Irrawaddy) River around Katha and Bhamo offers a great chance to meet locals, as do the hiking routes around Hsipaw in Shan State, which pass through ethnic minority villages.</p>

<p><strong>The ethics of visiting Myanmar</strong></p>

<p>The question of whether to visit Myanmar – and if so, how to minimize any negative impact of that decision – has long been a complicated one. For many years, the official position of the National League for Democracy (NLD), the opposition political party of which Aung San Suu Kyi is the Chairperson and General Secretary, was to urge foreigners not to visit the country as it put money directly into the pockets of the regime. Still, some tourists did visit each year, arguing that the majority of their money was actually going to individuals and private businesses. Similarly, many people within Myanmar felt it was important that foreigners visited to see the truth of what was happening. In 2010, the NLD softened its stance, saying that it only opposed package and cruise tourism. Then, in May 2012, in the wake of the UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon urging an easing of international sanctions against Myanmar, the NLD dropped the boycott entirely. Nevertheless, it would be a mistake to think that the ethical dilemma has completely gone away. Although the new government is nominally civilian, in reality the same military figures are still largely in charge. In addition the prominent business leaders commonly described as cronies – who became rich through dealing with the regime, and in some cases allegedly through trading in arms or drugs – still own many of the country’s largest businesses, including hotel groups, banks and airlines. And although the government is praised internationally for reforms such as the release of some (but not all) political prisoners and a reduction in censorship (so that NLD posters are now a common sight), some people within the country see these as surface changes intended to please foreigners – particularly the US, which hopes to lure Myanmar away from its main trading partner, China – rather than anything more fundamental.</p>

<p>Furthermore, it should be remembered that the suppression of dissent and suspension of the democratic process were not the military junta’s only crimes. It was also fighting what has been described as the world’s longest-running civil war, with policies that amounted to ethnic cleansing and – in the eyes of some observers – attempted genocide. Although ceasefires have been signed with some of the ethnic militias, vast swathes of the country – particularly in northern Kachin State – remain off-limits to tourists while the new government continues to fight with rebel armies (some of which, it must be admitted, are motivated as much by profit from the drug trade as they are by a thirst for democracy). If free and fair elections are held in 2015 then the NLD is expected to win a landslide victory, but it remains to be seen how they propose to keep the peace with ethnic minority groups who consider the NLD to represent only the Bamar majority – particularly if the military’s stranglehold is weakened as democracy takes root. Already the NLD has been accused of becoming too close to the generals and their cronies as it seeks their political support and funding for social projects. Some compromise is inevitable, not least because the military can veto a proposed change to the constitution to allow Aung San Suu Kyi (as someone who married a foreign national) to run for President.</p>

<p>Bearing all this in mind, travellers should consider limiting the amount of their money that makes it to the government and its associates. Some expenses are unavoidable, including visa fees, while others are hard to avoid if you want to see some of the main tourist attractions, such as the $10 multi-site fee in Mandalay. It can also be difficult to know exactly which businesses in Myanmar are affiliated with the government or its cronies. On the other hand, by staying in budget accommodation your money is already more likely to be going to ordinary individuals or small family businesses than to companies with strong government links (and in this guide we have tried to avoid recommending such places). The same goes for services such as vehicle hire or trekking guides – there are plenty of opportunities to use small companies and freelancers, which often leads to a better experience anyway. Some visitors also consider avoiding planes and even trains (which are operated by the government).</p>

<p>Culture and Etiquette in Myanmar (Burma)</p>

<p>Most women and girls, as well as some men and boys, use thănăk’à (a paste made from ground bark) on their faces; traditionally thought to improve the skin and act as a sunblock, it is often applied as a circle or stripe on each cheek.</p>

<p>Avoid touching another person’s head, as it is considered the most sacred part of the body; feet are unclean and so when sitting don’t point your feet at anyone or towards images of the Buddha. Remove your shoes before entering a Buddhist site or a home. Always use your right hand when shaking hands or passing something to someone, as the left hand is traditionally used for toilet ablutions; however, locals do use their left hand to “support” their right arm when shaking hands.</p>

<p>Most people in the country are Buddhist although there are significant Muslim and Christian minorities. Men are expected to experience life in a monastery twice in their lives, once when a child and once as an adult, although this is only for a short time unless they become a novice. Most Buddhists also believe in nats, spirits rooted in older animist traditions, which are now considered to be the Buddha’s disciples. These supernatural beings take an interest in the actions of humans, and may need to be propitiated.</p>

<p>Considering the social conservatism of Myanmar’s society it is interesting to note that while in the past most nat kădaws (spirit mediums) were women, today most are gay men and many are either transgendered or transvestites. A nat-pwèh (spirit festival) held, for example, at the start of a new business enterprise is an occasion on which people have license to sing, cheer and show emotions which would otherwise be repressed in public. Homosexuality is, however, technically illegal in Myanmar – for tourists as well as locals – and punishable by fines or imprisonment, but this is rarely enforced in practice. There is a discreet gay scene in Yangon, but little elsewhere.</p>

<p>Myanmar (Burma) for planning and on the go</p>

<p>Crime and personal safety</p>

<p>Very few foreign tourists are victims of crime in Myanmar, possibly because the penalties for stealing from tourists are severe. There are, however, occasional reports of opportunistic theft such as of cameras left charging on ferries while the owners wander the decks.</p>

<p>Although the government is engaged in conflict with ethnic resistance groups in several parts of the country, if there’s any danger in an area then it will be closed to foreigners both for their protection and to keep the violence hidden away from international attention. No resistance groups have been known to target tourists.</p>

<p>Although the quasi-civilian government inaugurated in 2011 has taken steps to reduce censorship and released some political prisoners, Myanmar is still far from being a place where freedom of speech can be taken for granted and violence is still regularly used against dissenters and protesters. It is still therefore wise to avoid raising political topics in conversation, as local people can be nervous about finding themselves in trouble; let them take the lead, and be discreet. Also think twice before taking photographs of bridges, police stations and anywhere else where doing so might be considered a security risk.</p>

<p>Health</p>

<p>The quality of health care in Myanmar is generally poor. Routine advice and treatment are available in Yangon and Mandalay but elsewhere the hospitals often lack basic supplies, and some suffer under corrupt administrations. Avoid surgery and dental work, as hygiene standards cannot be relied upon; if you are seriously ill then contact your embassy for advice, and expect international-quality care to be expensive (and possibly to require payment up front). As always, it is important to travel with insurance covering medical care, including emergency evacuation.</p>

<p>Minor injuries and ailments can be dealt with by pharmacists, particularly in major tourist areas where they are more likely to speak English. Pharmacists offer many things over the counter without prescription, although there are serious issues with fake and out-of-date medication.</p>

<p>Emergency numbers</p>

<p>Police t 199</p>

<p>Ambulance t 192</p>

<p>Fire t191</p>

<p>Internet</p>

<p>There are now internet cafés in most towns and cities, almost all with printers and some offering services such as Skype; in addition, some hotels and guesthouses have wi-fi access. Connections are unreliable and can be frustratingly slow; unsurprisingly, high-end hotels tend to be the best bet and it’s normally possible to use the wi-fi if you buy something in their café. Since 2010, censorship of the web has been much less severe and most popular web-based mail can be accessed. Avoid accessing a PayPal account from Myanmar, as it may be blocked.</p>

<p>Information and maps</p>

<p>The best sources of information, besides other travellers and some online resources, are generally the staff at guesthouses. Some of the best of these places are well used to meeting the needs of visitors, providing maps and advice on how to explore the area. The state tourist offices, operated by Myanmar Travels &amp; Tours (MTT), are generally not especially helpful, although you will need to visit one if you want to apply for a permit to travel to a restricted area. They also give out free copies of maps published by Design Printing Services (dpsmap.com), including a detailed one of Bagan and one covering several major cities. Outside of Myanmar, you can buy a number of maps of the country, including the Reise Know How 1:1,500,000 and Globetrotter 1:1,700,000 (the latter also includes some city maps).</p>

<p>Mail</p>

<p>The postal service in Myanmar is not known for its efficiency; sending postcards is cheap but they often do not reach their destinations. Post offices are typically open Monday to Friday 9.30am to 4.30pm and sometimes on Saturday mornings, and many have an EMS (Express Mail Service) counter offering faster and more reliable international delivery.</p>

<p>Money and banks</p>

<p>Myanmar’s currency is the kyat (pronounced “chat”), usually abbreviated as K, Ks or MMK. Notes are available in denominations of K1, K5, K10, K20, K50, K100, K200, K500, K1000, K5000 and K10,000, although the lowest value you are likely to encounter is the K50 note. At the time of writing the exchange rate was K860 to $1, K1300 to £1, and K1120 to €1; high-value notes (particularly $100 bills) attract the best exchange rates, so bring those to change. Although at one time the official rate was artificially low and most people changed money on the black market, today banks offer a realistic rate and it is not worth using the black market. It is never a good idea to change money in the street, even if the rate sounds good, as scams are common. Note also that kyat cannot be bought or sold overseas, so you should change any leftover currency before leaving the country.</p>

<p>Kyat are used to pay for food, bus tickets, taxi journeys and items in ordinary shops or markets, but US dollars (and possibly euros, although don’t rely on it) must be used for government services including train tickets and entry fees for major tourist attractions. There are also some circumstances in which US dollars are preferred but not required, notably at hotels and guesthouses but also in some tourist-oriented shops. In these cases, prices are quoted in dollars and if payment is made in kyat then it is usually at a poorer rate than you’d get in a bank. It’s a good idea to bring plenty of low-denomination dollar notes for these situations. Note that it is essential that any currency which you intend to change within Myanmar is pristine, and that US dollars were issued in 2006 or later. Notes that are creased, torn or marked in any way – however minor – may not be accepted by banks, hotels or any other outlets; if they do take them then it is likely to be at a reduced rate.
