HÀNH TRÌNH 13 NĂM CỦA VINIMEX – NIỀM CẢM HỨNG TỪ TRUYỀN THỐNG NÔNG NGHIỆP NGÀN ĐỜI…
[English below]
"Ta không được chọn nơi mình sinh ra, nhưng ta được chọn cách mình sẽ sống" – Đây là triết lý mà bà Tr��n Vũ Quỳnh Như, Founder và CEO của Vinimex Group, lu��n tâm đắc. Từ niềm cảm hứng sâu sắc về nền nông nghiệp Việt Nam hơn 4000 năm lịch sử, bà Như đã tạo nên hành trình 13 năm đầy tự hào cho VINIMEX. Được dẫn dắt bởi niềm đam mê và sự biết ơn đối với những sản vật mà mẹ thiên nhiên ban tặng, VINIMEX đã và đang góp phần đưa nông sản Việt vươn xa ra thế giới.
Trong suốt hành trình phát triển, VINIMEX không chỉ là một công ty xuất nhập khẩu nông sản mà còn là biểu tượng cho tình yêu và khát vọng lớn lao về một nền nông nghiệp bền vững. Từ những sản phẩm như khoai mì, gạo, hạt điều đến cà phê, trà và hạt tiêu, VINIMEX đã trở thành cầu nối vững chắc giữa nông sản Việt và thị trường quốc tế.
Việt Nam, với sự đa dạng về khí hậu và thổ nhưỡng từ Bắc chí Nam, đã tạo nên một nền nông nghiệp phong phú. Miền Bắc nổi bật với bốn mùa đậm sắc, đồng bằng châu thổ sông Hồng trù phú, mang lại nhiều sản vật quý giá. Miền Trung kiên cường, vượt qua khắc nghiệt của thời tiết, là vùng đất cằn nhưng sinh hoa trái, nơi các nông sản đặc biệt được trân quý. Miền Nam với ưu thế hệ thống sông ngòi và kênh rạch chằng chịt góp phần tạo nên vựa lúa chính của cả nước, có nguồn trái cây, thủy sản dồi dào.
Khởi đầu với một đội ngũ nhỏ hơn 10 người, đến nay VINIMEX đã phát triển mạnh mẽ với hơn 200 nhân sự tại các thị trường trọng điểm như Việt Nam, Campuchia, Myanmar và Philippines.
Hành trình 13 năm chỉ là khởi đầu – Bà Như và đội ngũ VINIMEX tiếp tục hướng tới tương lai, góp phần thúc đẩy nền nông nghiệp Việt Nam phát triển bền vững, không chỉ trong nước mà còn trên toàn thế giới.

VINIMEX 13-YEAR JOURNEY – INSPIRATION FROM AN AGE-OLD AGRICULTURAL TRADITION…
"We cannot choose where we are born, but we can choose how we will live" – This is the philosophy that Ms. Tran Vu Quynh Nhu, Founder and CEO of Vinimex Group, holds dear. Inspired by Vietnam's rich agricultural history spanning over 4000 years, Ms. Nhu has proudly led VINIMEX through a remarkable 13-year journey. Driven by a passion for and gratitude toward the gifts of Mother Nature, VINIMEX has played an integral role in bringing Vietnamese agricultural products to the global market.
Throughout its development, VINIMEX has not only been an agricultural import-export company but also a symbol of love and aspiration for a sustainable agricultural future. From products like cassava, rice, and cashews to coffee, tea, and pepper, VINIMEX has become a strong bridge connecting Vietnamese produce with international markets.
Vietnam, with its diverse climate and soil stretching from North to South, boasts a rich agricultural heritage. The North is distinguished by its four vibrant seasons and the fertile Red River Delta, yielding many valuable products. The Central region, resilient in the face of harsh weather, is a land of arid soil that still bears fruit, where unique agricultural products are highly cherished. The South, with its vast Mekong Delta, is abundant with rice, fruit, and seafood, serving as the nation's food basket.
Starting with a small team of fewer than 10 people, VINIMEX has since grown to a strong force of over 200 employees in key markets such as Vietnam, Cambodia, Myanmar, and the Philippines.
The 13-year journey is just the beginning – Ms. Nhu and the VINIMEX team continue to look toward the future, contributing to the sustainable development of Vietnam's agriculture, not only domestically but also globally.

Experience Vietnam Wonders - Imity Travels
Vietnam, located on the eastern edge of Southeast Asia, is a country brimming with cultural richness and natural beauty. From its historical landmarks to its diverse landscapes, Vietnam offers an experience like no other, blending the past with the present in a harmonious way.
Tumblr media
Historical and Cultural Depth Vietnam’s history stretches back over a thousand years, shaped by dynasties, invasions, and revolutionary movements. Its ancient temples, shrines, and architectural wonders like the Imperial City in Hue and the Temple of Literature in Hanoi, reflect its cultural significance. The influence of Confucianism, Buddhism, and colonial French architecture is evident throughout the country, providing visitors with a glimpse into its complex past.
The Vietnam War, which ended in 1975, still echoes in the memories of many. Museums like the War Remnants Museum in Ho Chi Minh City and the Cu Chi tunnels offer poignant insights into this turbulent chapter of history, making it an important aspect of the country's identity and a place of reflection.
Tumblr media
Diverse Landscapes Vietnam is a country of contrasts. The northern regions are marked by the stunning beauty of Ha Long Bay, with its emerald waters and thousands of limestone islands. The central region is home to the ancient town of Hoi An, famous for its preserved historical architecture and vibrant lantern-lit streets. In the south, the bustling city of Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) contrasts with the peaceful Mekong Delta, where life revolves around its winding rivers and floating markets.
The country's landscape is also diverse in its geography, offering mountains, beaches, forests, and caves, such as the UNESCO-listed Phong Nha-Kẻ Bàng National Park, home to some of the world’s largest caves.
Tumblr media
Cuisine: A Flavorful Journey Vietnamese cuisine is renowned for its balance of flavors and fresh ingredients. A meal often features a delicate mix of salty, sour, sweet, and spicy tastes. Pho, a savory noodle soup, is perhaps the most iconic dish, but regional specialties abound. In the north, Hanoi is known for its bun cha (grilled pork with noodles), while in the south, you’ll find a sweeter style of food, including the popular banh xeo (Vietnamese pancake). Street food culture is thriving, with local vendors offering everything from fresh spring rolls to grilled skewers, ensuring a feast for the senses.
Modern Vietnam: A Nation Moving Forward Vietnam today is a rapidly developing nation that attracts millions of tourists and investors alike. While modern skyscrapers and bustling cities reflect its growing economy, traditional customs and a strong sense of community remain a vital part of daily life. The country's youthful population and technological advancements are driving Vietnam into the future, making it an exciting destination for those seeking both adventure and opportunity.
Whether you are looking to explore history, indulge in delicious cuisine, or admire the natural wonders, Vietnam offers a unique and memorable experience that continues to captivate travelers from around the world.

Thrills and Tranquility: Motorcycle Touring Across Thailand's Diverse Terrain
Thailand is a land of contrasts—where towering mountains meet endless beaches, and bustling city streets give way to peaceful rural landscapes. For travelers seeking both thrill and serenity, few experiences compare to exploring Thailand on a motorcycle. The country’s diverse terrain offers riders everything from challenging mountain passes to tranquil countryside roads, creating an adventure that is as thrilling as it is peaceful.
Here’s an exploration of Thailand’s most captivating regions for motorcycle touring, where thrills and tranquility blend beautifully.
Tumblr media
1. The Northern Highlands: Adventure in Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai
Northern Thailand, particularly the provinces of Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai, is a haven for motorcyclists. Known for its lush green mountains, winding roads, and cooler climate, this region is packed with thrilling routes and serene landscapes.
Highlights
Mae Hong Son Loop: This famed 600-kilometer loop encompasses over 1,800 turns and takes you through dense forests, mountain vistas, and traditional hill tribe villages. It's a paradise for adventurous riders, with challenging twists and turns.
Doi Inthanon National Park: Climb the country's highest peak as you wind up to Doi Inthanon. En route, you’ll pass by cascading waterfalls, rice terraces, and even royal pagodas that offer panoramic views of the surrounding valleys.
The combination of exhilarating curves and peaceful mountain scenery makes northern Thailand an ideal starting point for motorcycle touring, offering a seamless blend of excitement and calm.
2. The Golden Triangle: Thailand’s Mystical Borderlands
The Golden Triangle, where Thailand, Laos, and Myanmar meet, is a region steeped in history and intrigue. The area’s rugged landscapes and rich cultural heritage make it a rewarding experience for motorcyclists who want to dive deeper into Thailand's past.
Highlights
Mae Sai: Start your journey in Mae Sai, Thailand's northernmost town, where you can explore border markets and soak up the region’s unique cultural influences.
Chiang Saen: Follow the Mekong River to Chiang Saen, a historic town with ancient temples and scenic river views. The riverside roads are smooth and scenic, offering a more relaxed riding experience compared to the mountainous roads.
Scenic Mekong Routes: As you ride along the Mekong, you’ll find both thrill and tranquility as the river winds through valleys and farmland, offering glimpses into daily life in remote communities.
Exploring the Golden Triangle is as much about the journey as it is the destination. The serene river views and historical ambiance make it a mystical experience, yet the adventurous trails satisfy even the most intrepid riders.
3. Central Plains: Cultural Immersion in the Heart of Thailand
The central plains of Thailand offer a more peaceful, slower-paced experience for motorcyclists. This area is home to the country’s ancient capitals, lush rice paddies, and traditional villages. The gentle roads here are perfect for riders looking to unwind and immerse themselves in Thailand’s cultural roots.
Highlights
Sukhothai Historical Park: A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Sukhothai is one of Thailand’s oldest cities and a must-visit for history enthusiasts. Riding through its expansive park, surrounded by ancient temples and monuments, is both a peaceful and humbling experience.
Ayutthaya: Located closer to Bangkok, Ayutthaya is another historic city known for its impressive ruins and easygoing atmosphere. A motorcycle ride through the old city offers a serene escape and a fascinating look into Thailand’s rich past.
Rural Roads and Rice Fields: Ride through the sprawling rice fields of the central plains, where the vibrant green landscapes and slow pace offer a sense of tranquility rarely found in urban areas.
Central Thailand’s flat terrain and historical sites create an atmosphere that encourages riders to take things slow, providing a perfect contrast to the more thrilling mountainous routes in the north.
4. The Eastern Seaboard: Coastal Bliss and Island Views
While the beaches may be more famous among tourists, Thailand’s eastern seaboard offers beautiful coastal roads that provide both thrill and peace. This region is perfect for riders who want to experience Thailand's coastline without the bustling crowds of southern hotspots.
Highlights
Rayong and Chanthaburi: These coastal towns are known for their laid-back vibe and scenic ocean views. Ride along the coastal roads from Rayong to Chanthaburi for a relaxing journey punctuated by charming fishing villages and peaceful beaches.
Koh Chang Loop: For those willing to take a ferry ride, Koh Chang Island offers a unique motorcycle experience with stunning sea views, jungle-covered mountains, and serene beaches. The island's hilly roads provide a sense of adventure, while the beaches offer relaxation after a long ride.
The Eastern Seaboard offers a different type of motorcycle touring experience—one where the ocean breeze and laid-back coastal scenery bring a sense of peace to every ride.
5. The South: Riding Through Rainforests and Karst Landscapes
Southern Thailand is known for its beaches, but it also offers some of the country’s most spectacular natural beauty inland. The region’s towering limestone cliffs, lush rainforests, and scenic routes make it a thrilling and unique ride.
Highlights:
Khao Sok National Park: Known for its towering karst cliffs and dense rainforests, Khao Sok is a breathtaking stop for motorcyclists. Ride through the park's surrounding areas, and explore hidden caves, waterfalls, and jungle trails on foot when you need a break.
Phang Nga Bay: For a scenic coastal route, follow the roads along Phang Nga Bay, famous for its emerald-green waters and limestone islands. The winding roads and incredible views add a touch of thrill to the tranquility of the sea.
Nakhon Si Thammarat: Known for its cultural significance and scenic beauty, this province offers peaceful countryside roads, lush hills, and opportunities to interact with local communities.
In southern Thailand, you’ll find a unique blend of exhilaration and calm, with rainforest trails that challenge your riding skills and coastal views that soothe the soul.
Tips for the Road
Motorcycling through Thailand is a dream, but preparation is essential. Here are a few tips to ensure a safe and enjoyable ride:
Weather Considerations: Thailand’s rainy season (May to October) can make road conditions challenging, especially in mountainous areas. The dry season (November to February) is ideal for motorcycle touring.
Safety Gear: Helmets are mandatory, but additional protective gear is advisable for safety. Winding roads and varying terrain demand caution and preparedness.
Local Etiquette: Learning basic Thai phrases and respecting local customs can enhance your interactions with locals, who often appreciate travelers who show an interest in their culture.
Bike Rental and Insurance: Rent from reputable places that provide insurance, and ensure your international driving permit (IDP) is in order before hitting the road.
Embrace the Thrills and Tranquility of Thailand
Motorcycle touring across Thailand is a journey of contrasts. From the adrenaline rush of mountain curves to the peaceful countryside and coastal roads, each ride reveals a different side of the country’s diverse terrain. With every twist of the throttle, you’ll experience a thrilling adventure and a quiet beauty that only Thailand can offer. Embrace the journey, and discover the thrills and tranquility that lie beyond the ordinary tourist trail.

Discovering Vietnam: A Journey Through Culture, History, and Natural Beauty -Imity Travels
Vietnam, a country of vibrant culture, rich history, and breathtaking landscapes, has become one of Southeast Asia’s top travel destinations. From the bustling streets of Hanoi to the tranquil waters of Ha Long Bay, this dynamic country offers a blend of tradition and modernity that captivates every visitor.
Tumblr media
History
Vietnam’s history is one of resilience and determination. Over the centuries, the country has withstood foreign invasions, from the Chinese to the French, leaving behind a legacy of cultural fusion. The infamous Vietnam War (1955–1975) is a pivotal chapter in the nation’s modern history, and its impact can still be seen in historical sites like the Cu Chi Tunnels and the War Remnants Museum in Ho Chi Minh City. Despite these challenges, Vietnam has emerged as a vibrant, independent nation with a deep sense of pride in its heritage.
Natural Wonders
Vietnam’s landscapes are nothing short of spectacular. Ha Long Bay, with its towering limestone islands, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that draws travelers seeking natural beauty. The country’s diverse geography also includes lush rice terraces in Sapa, pristine beaches along its coastline, and the Mekong Delta, where life flows through winding rivers and floating markets.
Tumblr media
A Culinary Paradise
Vietnamese cuisine is a feast for the senses. From the world-famous pho to delicious banh mi sandwiches, the food is fresh, flavorful, and often prepared with ingredients grown locally. The use of herbs, spices, and unique flavors like lemongrass, ginger, and fish sauce makes every meal an exciting experience. Street food, in particular, offers an authentic way to sample the country’s culinary delights.
Vibrant Cities and Warm People The energy of Vietnam’s cities is infectious. Hanoi, the capital, retains its colonial charm with narrow alleys, ancient temples, and French-inspired architecture. Meanwhile, Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) is a modern metropolis where skyscrapers stand side by side with traditional markets. Vietnamese people are known for their hospitality, welcoming visitors with open arms and eager to share their culture and traditions.
