Places you'll stay
Bangkok
The gilded spires of the Grand Palace and the towering silhouette of Wat Arun dominate the Chao Phraya River’s waterfront, instantly marking Bangkok as a city where historic ceremony meets riverine bustle. Bangkok, Thailand’s capital, sits in the central river delta and serves as the nation’s political, economic and cultural hub. With an estimated 11.4 million residents in 2024, the metropolis forms the core of a metropolitan region that houses over 17 million people.
Chiang Mai
Twin peaks rise above the city, with Doi Pui topping 1 700 metres and Doi Suthep exceeding 1 600 metres, framing Chiang Mai’s skyline in the Thai highlands. The city lies about 700 km north of Bangkok, occupying a basin on the Ping River in northern Thailand. With roughly 127 000 residents inside its municipal limits and an urban population of about 1.2 million, it serves as the provincial capital and a cultural hub.
Krabi
The sheer limestone cliffs that rise from the sands of Railay Beach draw climbers from across the globe. Krabi is the main town of Krabi Province on Thailand’s western Andaman Sea coast, where the Krabi River empties into Phang Nga Bay. With a 2020 population of 32,644, the town serves as a gateway to a coastline dotted with more than 80 islands.
Phuket
A 45‑metre marble‑clad statue of the Buddha dominates the hilltop above Ao Chalong Bay, offering a panoramic view of Phuket’s coastline. Phuket is a province in southern Thailand that consists of the country’s largest island and thirty‑two smaller islets in the Andaman Sea. The island’s population has swelled to around six hundred thousand, with many expatriates adding to its multicultural character.
Hanoi
Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam, is a city where ancient traditions and modern life exist side by side. Located along the banks of the Red River, it is one of Southeast Asia’s oldest capitals, with a history that stretches back over a thousand years. Founded in 1010 under the Ly Dynasty, Hanoi was originally named Thang Long, meaning “Ascending Dragon.” Over centuries, it has witnessed periods of Chinese domination, Vietnamese independence, French colonial rule, and modern development, each leaving a distinct mark on the city’s identity. Today, Hanoi stands as a cultural and political heart of Vietnam, where history is not just preserved in museums but lives on in its streets, architecture, and daily life.
Ha Long Bay
The name Ha Long means “descending dragon” – a fitting title for a bay steeped in mystical legends and boasting scenery to match. There are countless tales of how and why the name came about. One of the most well-known tells of a dragon that came down from the sky, spitting thousands of pearls from its fiery mouth, which became the islets and karsts that now dot the bay.
Hoi An
If ever Vietnam had its own storybook town, it would be Hoi An. It’s a rare traveler who fails to be taken in by Hoi An’s rich history and enchanted by its shimmering lanterns.
Ho Chi Minh City
There’s no better place to get a feel for urban Vietnam than the energetic streets of Ho Chi Minh City. This is Vietnam's largest city and one of the country's most free-spirited destinations. Still referred to as ‘Saigon’ by locals, it is known for hordes of motorbikes, mouthwatering food, and hip coffee shops.
