Traveling abroad can seem like a huge undertaking that requires years of planning. You have to clear your schedule, budget carefully, and if work gets in the way, your trip could fall apart. When it comes to experiencing something truly special in a trendy location on the other side of the world, it can feel even more daunting. However, it would be fantastic if we could travel to extraordinary places within just 2 hours! These destinations will no longer be just a dream, as we introduce you to 4 chic destinations that many may not realize are in our neighboring countries!!



Mui Ne / Vietnam

     You don’t have to travel all the way to Egypt to experience a desert trip; you can easily do it in Vietnam, a dream destination for many. With its rich cultural diversity and varied landscapes, Vietnam consistently surprises travelers. One of the attractions we’re about to discuss is the stunning Red Sand Dune and White Sand Dune, famous deserts that look like paintings, located in Mui Ne, a coastal city in Binh Thuan province. This city is also interesting because you can fly directly to Tan Son Nhat International Airport (SGN) and reach it from Ho Chi Minh City in less than 4 hours, where you can witness the many natural wonders this city has to offer.


Bagan / Myanmar

     For us, Myanmar remains a fresh destination filled with countless attractions to explore. Bagan is another important tourist city in Myanmar, not far from Mandalay International Airport (MDL). Bagan showcases the glory of Buddhism in Myanmar with over 4,000 pagodas still standing the test of time. It is believed that during its peak, there were over ten thousand pagodas. Besides visiting the pagodas by car or bicycle, we encourage everyone to experience Bagan from a different perspective through a hot air balloon, which adds excitement and allows you to see thousands of pagodas beautifully lined up and the vast landscape of Bagan. This is a view you must see with your own eyes at least once.



Kuang Si Falls / Laos

     Laos is known for its lush nature, with a mountainous terrain and simple yet charming culture, making it a significant destination for travelers from all directions. One must-visit attraction is Kuang Si Falls, the most beautiful waterfall in Luang Prabang, located just 30 kilometers from the city and Luang Prabang International Airport (LPQ). This four-tiered waterfall, standing 75 meters tall, features crystal-clear blue water contrasting with the lush green forest, emphasizing the grandeur and beauty of nature that must be experienced firsthand.


Bayon / Cambodia

     When people think of Cambodia, many might first think of the popular Angkor Wat. However, they may not know that there is another fascinating temple in Cambodia, the Bayon Temple, located in the heart of Angkor Thom. Bayon Temple was built during the reign of King Jayavarman VII and revolutionized the style of temple construction, differing significantly from traditional designs. Although Bayon Temple is not as large as Angkor Wat, it is filled with intrigue from the mysterious atmosphere of its stacked stones and the carved faces that gaze down from every angle. This unique charm makes Bayon Temple another interesting destination that should not be missed, especially since it’s easy to fly directly from Thailand to Siem Reap-Angkor International Airport (REP).
