Any travel tips for Vietnam and Cambodia, sample itinerary for the must-see places in these countries?

My friends are planning to go to Vietnam and Cambodia for about a week. Would love to here from people who have visited these countries. Any tips on cheap but decent accommodation, foods, best places to go and things to do? Or some sample itinerary? Any personal experience will be much appreciated.Thanks in advance. ^_^
We are really not after the beach or swimming, we are more on the famous places, must-see, must-do, best places for first time tourists. We would also love to try the local cuisine.

Answer
Kind of hard to give specific recommendations without knowing what you like to do. If you want some beaches, for example, Vietnam is going to have far more options than Cambodia would have.

Cambodia:
Angkor Wat in Siem Reap is a *must see* attraction. Angkor and the Bayon temples are incredible sites to see (more info: http://www.hoteltravel.com/cambodia/siem_reap/guides/sightseeing.htm). Angkor Wat has been the most impressive cultural site I’ve seen during my travels throughout Asia & it can actually take several days to get around the major temples.

Vietnam:
It depends on which city you’re going to largely stay around. If I had my choice, however, I would go to Ha Long Bay and Ho Chi Minh.

Food:
Will generally be very cheap in either country if you want to try the local cuisine.

Travel in Viet Nam with haivenu tour

July 8, 2010 By skg Leave a Comment

Vietnam’s Destination

This section of the web site contains an overview of the many attractions that Vietnam has to offer, designed with tourism and travel in Vietnam in mind. Where comments and opinions are expressed, they are a combination of our subjective views and feedback from former customers.

Vietnam
In general, the best way to enjoy most places in Vietnam is to travel between urban centres and use them as a base to explore the areas in and around them. Long distances and the country’s limited transport infrastructure makes a linear tour impractical if visitors want to experience more than one or two of Vietnam’s regions.

The North

Hanoi
Vietnam’s capital city, Hanoi, is just over half the size of its southern counterpart. Like Ho Chi Minh City, it is expanding. It’s more stately and calmer than its boisterous offspring, with tree-lined boulevards and large colonial villas, many of which are now embassies or government buildings, and its prices are more reasonable. It is surrounded by many ‘craft villages’, each specialising in a specific traditional craft.

Hai Phong
Vietnam’s third city is Hai Phong, with just under two million people. Also in the north, about a hundred kilometres from Hanoi, it is the country’s main seaport. Hai Phong is close to Cat Ba Island and is an entry point to Ha Long Bay

Ha Long City
Ha Long City has a population is around 200,000. It is a comparatively recent amalgamation of a major tourist area with a heavy industrial mining town: initially uneasy bedfellows, the two elements are now fusing. Apart from being the main access point for Ha Long Bay, it is also a centre for Quang Ninh Province and the northeast.

Dien Bien Phu and Sa Pa
These two small towns are the main centres for the northwest mountains.

The Centre

Da Nang
Da Nang, in central Vietnam, is an expanding port and industrial area: its population is now well over a million. It is an attractive centre for three World Heritage areas: Hue Imperial City, Hoi An Ancient Town and the My Son Sanctuary, as well as being very close to some excellent coastal resorts.

Hue
Hue is relatively small – less than a third of a million – but enjoys the status of being the ancient Imperial City (and the income from armies of tourists!). It is also a centre for visits to Quang Tri Province and the Demilitarized Zone.

Nha Trang
Nha Trang, Vietnam’s premier resort with a population of about 320,000, is an attractive destination for beach lovers and divers. It is also the main access point to the Central Highlands from the coast.

Dalat
On the southern end of the central highland plateau, the temperate climate of Dalat attracts many Vietnamese tourists to swell its 150,000 population. Other small towns further north, such as Buon Ma Thuot, are also important centres for visitors to the Central Highlands.

The South

Ho Chi Minh City
Ho Chi Minh City, the former Saigon, is by far the largest urban centre in Vietnam. It has a population of around five and a half million, a figure that is expanding rapidly as poor people migrate to the wealth of the metropolis. Saigon is the country’s main commercial area: brash, noisy and, in Vietnamese terms, expensive. People seldom seem to be indifferent about it – they either love or hate the place.

Can Tho
Can Tho is a town of about 300,000 people and is regarded as the centre for the Mekong Delta area.

How to promote the positive images of vietnam?

Have anyone here ever been to Vietnam?If yes, can u please suggest ways to promote the positive images of vietnam in tourism industry ?What can we do to attract more tourists?

Answer
I went back for several weeks in the fall of 1995 and even then, Vietnam had already improved so much over what it was in the 1960’s. It was wonderful to visit both the North and the South and saw the country, so beautiful and modernizing and the people, so friendly and forgiving, finally had the peace that they so richly deserve.

When I was in Hanoi, I ran into a group of active US servicemen who were members of an MIA recovery team who happened to be staying at the same hotel I was staying at. They told me they encountered no hostilities from anyone in Vietnam and met nothing but friendliness and cooperation from the government to the people.

U.S. veterans I met on the streets and in museums and restaurants told me the same thing. What’s more, they told me their visits to Vietnam had helped so much in their healing process. They thought they could replace the horrible images of war with those happy ones they saw on their latest visits whenever they thought of Vietnam.

Vietnam needs to hire good American public relations/advertising firms to change the perception of the country still in the minds of many Americans, especially those over the age of 50 who still remember the images of Vietnam at war. When the Japanese began to sell cars en mass in America in the late 1970’s, they had to do the same thing as most Americans at that time thought of Japanese products as cheap but low in quality. It takes a lot of education to undo a prejudice.

Giving free tours of Vietnam to American travel agents, travel writers and tour operators is another way. They only need to report the truth of what they see there and tourism to Vietnam will substancially increase.

Already, there are over 300,000 American citizens visiting Vietnam each year, 100,000 (mostly Americans of Vietnamese descent) over the Tet holidays alone. But the number could be many times that when Vietnam is able to attract Americans of all backgrounds.

Who wouldn’t enjoy a beautiful country with lots of historical and natural sites, friendly and courteous people, safe and secure society, first class lodging facilities, delicious and exciting foods and what’s more, very reasonable prices…that is indeed Vietnam. I’m ready to go back later this year with my family!

Vietnam muon nam! (Long live Vietnam!)

When did the korean and vietnam wars start and end?

I need to know when the vietnam and north korean wars started and ended. Although an exact date would be nice all I need is the start and end year. And only make an answer if you know for sure!

Answer
The Korean War started on June 25th, 1950. A ceasefire was signed on July 27th, 1953. However, technically, the war isn’t over, as a peace treaty was never signed.

The dates surrounding the Vietnam War and the role of the US is more murky. The war started off as an insurgency is South Vietnam. This began in 1956. The United States support for the South Vietnamese government increased when JFK sent military advisors to Vietnam. American involvement escalted into full combat in 1965. American involvement in the war officially ended in January 27, 1973 with the Paris Peace Accords. The war itself ended on April 30, 1975.

What was America’s involvement in the Vietnam war from the 1940s to the 1970s?

How and why did the United States become engaged in military actions in Vietnam? What was the significance and the ultimate consequences of the Vietnam war?

Answer
Initially, the US got involved helping to support the Viet-Minh fighting against the Japanese occupation of IndoChina during WWII. After the end of WWII, the US supplied and operationally assisted France in trying to take back IndoChina from the Viet-Minh and other groups.

The period from 1954 until 1963 the US publicly had military advisors in South Vietnam. In 1954, the US began to support the emporer Bao Dai until the US had him ousted in a military coup d’etat in 1955 by the Diem brothers, who in turn were ousted in another military coup d’etat in 1963.

From 1963 to 1969 the US sent in at least 500,000 combat troops and other personnel. From 1969 to 1973, US policy was “Vietnamization), meaning the South Vietnamese were to take on responsibility for the ground war. US participation officially ended in 1973, but the North Vietnam invaded and conquered South Vietnam in April, 1975. This brought the war to an end.

Related issues are Communists coming to power in Cambodia (the Khmer Rouge under Pol Pot) and in Laos. Vietnam invaded Cambodia in 1979 toppling the Khmer Rouge and installing their own government, ending the genocide there.

The Vietnam War was a significant event in US history-especially for the baby-boomer generation. It probably led to the beginning of the end of the US as a political, economic, and military power. It divided the country and continues to do so, especially among baby-boomers.

Baby-boomers are probably the most spoiled, pampered, self-serving, egocentric generation this country has ever produced. They make up the majority of the political, cultural, economic, and academic leadership in the US. Their biggest crime however, is their negligence of their parents and their children.

Best countries to travel to in June/July? Cheap places in southeast asia?

I am planning on traveling this summer to southeast asia, australia, and hawaii.
I am trying to decide which country/countries I want to visit in Southeast asia. I was thinking of Bali or the Philippines.
Please recommend me some countries that are cheap, safe, and fun! Does not have to be in Southeast Asia but I prefer it to be. And I’ve already been to Thailand.
(I am a female in my early 20s and will be traveling with my younger 13 year old sister)

Answer
It will be monsoon season in many parts of South-East Asia (Vietnam, Lao, Thailand & Cambodia), so I would recommend Bali or other islands in Indonesia such as Lombok or the Gilli Islands. There is plenty to do in Bali, such as beaches, water park, wild-life park, rafting, cycling and soft adventure as well as excursions to the north – it is well set-up for tourists – Lombok and the Gilli Islands are more laid-back and a perfect place to kick-back and relax.
Have a great trip!

Can you travel around Asia by train?

We’re thinking about flying to vietnam and taking on from there? Most likely do a train travel around asia rather than flying. Is there a train that will go around Asia, something similar to Eurorail in Europe.

Answer
That would be by Train and Bus or Ferry. Asian countries are not connected by trains. I know that you can take a train from mainland China (Shanghai, Beijing or other main cities) to Hong Kong. From Singapore, you can ride bus to Malaysia. Laos, Burma and Thailand connected by Bus.

An alternative would be budget airlines. Checkout their super low fares. Try Cebu Pacific, Tiger Air and Air Asia.

Cebu Pacific: Philippines to HK, Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan, China, Indonesia.
Air Asia: Malaysia
