Vietnam

Vietnam a long, narrow country stretching from its border with China in the North, to the Gulf of Thailand in the South. Boasting an incredible 2,000 miles of majestic coastline featuring golden beaches, fishing villages, tropical islands, national parks and a wide range of biodiversity. Take a cruise around the jungle clad limestone islands rising from the emerald waters of Halong Bay and Bai Tu Long or up the Mekong River, the  twelfth largest river in the world. Escape the hustle and bustle on the island of Phu Quoc.

From post-war torn poverty Vietnam has become one of the fastest growing economies in Asia and one of the hottest tourist destinations. Inland the bustling vibrant cities paint a different picture: traditional older brother Hanoi in the North; known for its centuries old architecture and rich culture with Chinese and French influences and modern, trendier younger brother Hoi Chi Minh City in the South, home to Vietnam’s best food scene where you can try zingy fresh foods like pho (noodle soups), bánh cuon (rice paper spring rolls) and meaty bánh mì (baguette rolls).
