¡Hola, buenos días, humanidad! 🌍 ¡Feliz lunes! 💪🌟🚀🏆🌈📈🌱🌞🎯🌺 Hoy os regalo una foto de Nha Trang, Vietnam, una pintoresca ciudad costera que combina la belleza natural de sus playas de arena blanca con una rica historia cultural. Desde la vida nocturna en sus bares y clubes hasta la serenidad de sus templos budistas antiguos, Nha Trang ofrece una experiencia diversa para los visitantes. Los amantes del buceo y el snorkel quedan maravillados por los impresionantes arrecifes de coral y la vida marina colorida que habita en las aguas cristalinas de la bahía de Nha Trang.

Vida consciente 🌟

¿Tu ira? Te está diciendo dónde te sientes impotente. ¿Tu ansiedad? Te está diciendo que algo en tu vida está desequilibrado. ¿Tu miedo? Te está diciendo qué te importa. ¿Tu apatía? Te está diciendo dónde estás sobrecargado y quemado. Tus sentimientos no son aleatorios, son mensajeros. Y si quieres avanzar, necesitas poder dejar que te hablen y decirte lo que realmente necesitas.

I am currently drafting this post on the plane from Singapore back home to Melbourne. It’s so hard for me to succinctly summarise the rest of my trip after bangkok but I will start by finishing up on the thailand content.

We split the rest of our time in Thailand between Koh Samui and Krabi, both of which were incredibly beautiful. Given that Koh Samui content has already been tumbled by Bella, I’ll just briefly add some of my fav photos from that time.

Ao Nang/Krabi was one of my favourite places we stayed in Thailand. We stayed in a beautiful private bungalow and got included breakfast every morning which is always a slay. We spent two nights there and both nights we went to a night market that had incredible food. The most memorable was this garlicky peppery pad see ew that both Bella and I were obsessed with. We went on an incredible boat tour around some nearby islands and saw some absolutely stunning beaches, went snorkelling, saw a shrine of penises and met a really sweet danish family and some funky monkeys. It was quite touristy but also relaxing at the same time!

My favourite thing about Thailand was the food which was just fabulous, but the beaches and the weather were also so great!! I can’t wait to return because there is still so much I feel like I need to see. Also Thailand has kinda slay gay/ally vibes so we love that for her (pic of me under the lanterns shows my happiness) 🏳️‍🌈

I’ll eventually get to vietnam but I’m still processing its magnificence. Hope you’re all well 🥰

Countries You Must Visit in Southeast Asia: Your Ultimate Travel Guide

Southeast Asia is a treasure trove of diverse cultures, stunning landscapes, and vibrant cities. Here are the three top countries to visit in this enchanting region: Thailand

I just completed my Thailand trip and I was blown away by the natural beauty and tourist-friendly demeanor of this country. Known for its bustling cities, serene beaches, and rich cultural heritage, Thailand offers something for everyone. Bangkok, the capital, is a city that never sleeps, replete with vibrant street life, grand palaces, and bustling markets.

The northern city of Chiang Mai is famous for its temples and mountainous landscapes, perfect for trekking and exploring local hill culture.

The Philippines is an archipelago of over 7,000 islands, each offering unique experiences. Manila, the capital, is a bustling metropolis with a rich history and vibrant nightlife.

For beach lovers, Boracay is a must-see with its powdery white sands and turquoise waters. Palawan, often referred to as the last frontier, boasts stunning limestone cliffs, hidden lagoons, and some of the best diving spots in the world. The island of Siargao is a paradise for surfers and those looking to escape the crowds.

I have visited the Philippines 2 times so far and hope to visit more in the future. Malaysia

Penang, often called the food capital of Malaysia, offers a mix of colonial architecture, street art, and delicious street food. The island of Borneo, shared with Indonesia and Brunei, is home to some of the oldest rainforests in the world, offering unique wildlife experiences, including the chance to see orangutans in their natural habitat.

Vietnam is a country of contrasts, from the bustling streets of Hanoi to the tranquil waters of Ha Long Bay.

The ancient town of Hoi An is a UNESCO World Heritage site, known for its well-preserved architecture and vibrant lantern-lit streets. Ho Chi Minh City, formerly Saigon, is a dynamic city with a rich history and a gateway to the Mekong Delta.

The northern region offers stunning landscapes, including the terraced rice fields of Sapa and the majestic limestone karsts of Ha Long Bay.

It’s not just the picture-perfect scenery that makes it unique—it’s the whole experience. From towering limestone islands jutting out of calm waters to hidden caves, cultural encounters with floating villages, and some of the freshest seafood you’ll ever taste, Halong Bay offers an unforgettable blend of nature, adventure, culture, and food.

Here’s a closer look at why Halong Bay is a must-visit destination for any traveler seeking relaxation and adventure.

Four reasons why Halong Bay is a must-visit destination

1. Stunning Landscapes

One of the biggest draws to Halong Bay is its stunning and surreal landscapes. Imagine cruising through a bay with thousands of limestone islands, each rising majestically from the emerald-green waters. These karsts, formed over millions of years through geological processes, create a dramatic, awe-inspiring scene that feels like something out of a fantasy novel.

Halong Bay is a place where nature’s artistry is on full display.

But the beauty of Halong Bay isn’t just about the islands themselves. It’s about how everything comes together—the cliffs covered in lush greenery, the stillness of the water, and how the light changes throughout the day, casting golden hues at sunset and soft, misty shades at sunrise. The scenery is magical, whether gliding through the bay on a traditional wooden junk boat or viewing the islands from the top of a hiking trail.

For nature lovers and photography enthusiasts, Halong Bay offers endless opportunities to capture its stunning beauty. Whether you’re watching the islands disappear into the mist or catching the reflection of the karsts in the calm water, each moment feels like you’re witnessing a masterpiece of nature.

2. Adventure Activities

If you’re looking for more than just scenic views, Halong Bay has plenty of exciting things to do to keep your heart racing. From kayaking through hidden caves to hiking on remote islands, there’s no shortage of adventure.

Kayaking and Cave Exploration

Kayaking is one of the best ways to explore the hidden corners of Halong Bay.

Kayaking in Halong Bay is one of the best ways to explore its hidden corners. You can paddle through narrow caves that open into secluded lagoons surrounded by towering cliffs. Some of the most popular spots for kayaking include the Dark and Bright Caves, where you can paddle through tunnels into peaceful coves, or Ba Hang fishing village, where you can glide past floating houses and see local life up close.

Swimming and Snorkeling

The clear, calm waters of Halong Bay are perfect for a refreshing swim or snorkeling. Some cruises offer stops at quieter, less-crowded spots where you can dive in and cool off while enjoying the views. Swimming here gives you the sensation of being in a natural pool surrounded by nature’s wonders.

Hiking on Cat Ba Island

Cat Ba Island is a must-visit for those who love a good hike. The island is the largest in Halong Bay and offers several hiking trails that take you through dense forests and up to viewpoints where you can see the bay in all its glory. The hike to Ngu Lam Peak is a popular option and rewards you with panoramic views of the island and the surrounding waters. The Cat Ba National Park is also home to various wildlife, including the endangered Cat Ba langur.

3. Cultural Experience

Beyond the natural wonders, Halong Bay is also home to a rich cultural heritage. For generations, the bay has been a hub for fishing communities, and several floating villages still thrive here, offering a rare glimpse into a traditional way of life that revolves around the sea.

Floating Villages

Locals rely on fishing and aquaculture in these villages to make a living.

Visiting a floating village in Halong Bay is like stepping into a different world. Villages like Cua Van, Vung Vieng, and Ba Hang are houses and schools that float on the water, and the people here rely almost entirely on the sea for their livelihood. You’ll see fishermen casting their nets, children rowing small boats to school, and women tending to floating fish farms.

These villages offer an authentic cultural experience, allowing you to meet locals and learn about their way of life. You can join them for a short fishing trip or row a bamboo boat through the village’s waterways. It’s a peaceful, eye-opening experience that shows a side of Halong Bay that most tourists don’t see.

Cultural Festivals and Local Markets

If you’re lucky enough to visit during Halong Bay’s annual carnival, you’ll experience the area’s vibrant culture in full swing. The carnival features parades, traditional music and dance performances, and boat races, showcasing the bay’s rich heritage.

For a more everyday cultural experience, visiting local markets is a must. You can find fresh seafood straight from the bay, handmade crafts, and souvenirs reflecting local culture. It’s a great way to immerse yourself in the rhythm of local life.

4. Culinary Highlights

Halong Bay is a seafood lover’s paradise. The bay’s waters teem with fish, squid, clams, and prawns, and the local cuisine makes the most of these fresh ingredients. Whether you’re dining at a floating restaurant or grabbing a quick bite at a street food stall, the flavors of Halong Bay are sure to impress.

Must-Try Dishes

The seafood in Halong Bay is guaranteed to be fresh, flavorful, and unforgettable.

Fresh seafood: Grilled squid, steamed clams with lemongrass, and crab are all local specialties.

Cha Muc: made by pounding fresh squid into a paste and shaping it into patties before frying. 

Nem Cua Be: A crab spring roll that’s crispy on the outside and packed with fresh, flavorful crab meat.

Where to Eat

For an authentic dining experience, head to the local seafood markets, where you can choose your seafood and have it cooked to order. Popular spots include Cua Vang and Bai Chay Market. For street food, the stalls near Bai Chay Beach are a great place to try Banh Xeo and other local treats.

Halong Bay is a destination that offers something for everyone. Whether you’re an adventurer looking to kayak through caves, a culture enthusiast eager to visit floating villages, or a foodie ready to dive into fresh seafood, the bay promises unforgettable experiences.

Off the Beaten Path: Exploring Vietnam's L

In this blog post, I'll share some of my favorite off-the-beaten-path experiences in Vietnam, but for those who crave a more structured itinerary, Tee Off Holidays offers a variety of incredible Vietnam Tour Packages, including getaways as short as a Grand Vietnam Itinerary 4 days or adventures that last a Vietnam Itinerary 10 Days.

Sapa: A Trek Through the Clouds

Sapa, nestled in the northern mountains, is a haven for nature lovers and adventure seekers. The town itself is charming, with its colorful markets and hill tribe villages. However, the real magic lies in the surrounding mountains. I remember hiking through terraced rice fields, the mist swirling around me, and feeling a sense of tranquility that's hard to describe. The views from the top of Fansipan, Vietnam's highest peak, are simply breathtaking.

Hoi An: A Step Back in Time

Hoi An, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is known for its well-preserved ancient town. The narrow, cobblestone streets are lined with colorful lanterns, creating a magical atmosphere, especially at night. I spent hours wandering through the town, exploring the historic houses, visiting the Japanese Covered Bridge, and enjoying a leisurely boat ride on the Thu Bon River. Don't miss the opportunity to have a tailor-made outfit made in Hoi An. It's a unique experience and a great souvenir.

Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park: A Cave Wonderland

Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park, located in central Vietnam, is home to some of the world's largest and most impressive caves. I had the opportunity to explore Son Doong Cave, the largest natural cave in the world. It's an unforgettable experience, crawling through underground rivers, marveling at the towering stalagmites and stalactites, and feeling a sense of awe at the sheer scale of the cave.

Con Dao Islands: A Tropical Paradise

The Con Dao Islands, off the coast of southern Vietnam, offer a peaceful escape from the mainland. I spent a few days relaxing on the pristine beaches, swimming in the crystal-clear waters, and snorkeling among colorful coral reefs. The islands also have a rich history, with a former prison island that has been transformed into a national park. It's a fascinating place to learn about Vietnam's past.

Conclusion

Vietnam has so much to offer beyond the popular tourist destinations. By venturing off the beaten path, you can discover hidden gems that will create lasting memories.
