Today's travel photo is of the inside of the Central Post Office in Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), Vietnam. The Central Post Office is a beautiful late 19th century French Colonial building, designed by Gustave Eiffel himself. It's located opposite the Notre Dame Cathedral, so you can easily visit both of these interesting sites at [...]
Today's travel photo is of a rural road scene in the country outside of Vang Vieng in Laos. I took this photo while taking a bicycle ride to Poukham Cave and the Blue Lagoon. It was rice planting season at the time of year that I visited, so most of the rice fields had either [...]
When we finally made it to Siem Reap to visit the Temples of Angkor in Cambodia, I had no idea where to start. Should we do what most people do and just head straight to Angkor Wat? Should we visit Ta Phrom, Banteay Srei or some of the lesser visited temples first? I spent a [...]
Today's travel photo is of a very crowded Tuk Tuk in Battambang, Cambodia. I took this photo while exploring the streets of the city to view its interesting old French Colonial Buildings. This Tuk Tuk went past me and was crowded with about twelve people piled into it, mostly school kids all laughing and chatting [...]
I was so excited to visit Vietnam a couple of months ago. Not only was I visiting a new country, I was also visiting a country that I had been wanting to visit for a long time. For a whole month, Veronika and I travelled the country from North to South, starting in Hanoi and [...]

Several chaotic Saigon streets had converged into this one place, sending the already crazy traffic into a frenzy of horn honking and near misses. Somehow there are no accidents and everyone seems to [...]
Today's travel photo is a panorama of Wat Xieng Thong in Luang Prabang, Laos. I was so happy to be able to return to Luang Prabang recently, and it was even better this time because I got to take my wife with me. This gave me a great excuse to revisit some of the amazing [...]
Today's travel photo is of some Dragon Fruit growing at an orchard in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam. A lot of people come to Southeast Asia and have no idea what this fruit is, and I was the same when I first came to the region a couple of years ago. Dragon Fruit certainly looks a [...]
When the weather turns bad while travelling to a beach destination, all you can do is cross your fingers and hope that the sun comes out. That's pretty much how we spent our time in Sihanoukville, Cambodia. I'm well aware of the risks taken when travelling to Southeast Asia in the off season. The fact [...]
Today's travel photo is of some locals fishing on the Mekong River at sunset in Kratie, Cambodia. The town of Kratie was one of my favourite places in Cambodia, and it was a great way to end our stay in the country before we made our way into Laos. The main draw to the town [...]
