Some friends of mine just returned from a one week whirlwind tour of Vietnam. The pictures above are just a few of the 550 photos that I took while we were there! We flew from Bangkok to Hanoi, the capital city. We spent four days in Hanoi, tasting the local food and taking a day trip to Halong Bay. From Hanoi we flew South to Ho Chi Minh City, formerly Saigon. We opted against the 36 hour train ride, and decided to fly for only $4 more!! After doing the math flying seemed like the better option.In Ho Chi Minh City we visited The War Remnants Museum, the Cu Chi Tunnels and we took a day trip to the Mekong Delta, where the Mekong River (12th longest river in the world) meets the sea.
Although Vietnam is an hour and half plane flight from Thailand it is soooo different!!!
Here are some links for some history:
