South-East Asia Mainland

We (my partner and I) will travel in train from Dong Hoi to Danang. We don't plan to spend time in Danang, and will go straight to Hoi An. I would like to stop by the Golden Bridge at some point. (It wasn't originally on the itinerary but it looks too cool to be so close and pass it up!) Our hotel in Hoi An said they would pick us up in Danang, take us to the bridge, and then to the hotel in Hoi An for $43. This seems a reasonable price, but I know we could do it for much cheaper.

Hi there
I'm travelling to Myanmar in November/December this year. I am aware that the tap water in Myanmar is not fit to drink and may contain waterborne viruses. I am considering bringing a water purification bottle the Grayl. Does anyone have any experience using a water filter bottle in Myanmar and know if it is safe to do so? Otherwise I have been told to only drink bottled water but I am conscious of limiting my plastic waste and ensuring I have access to clean water at all times.
Thanks in…

What would be your preferred way of travelling between these two cities? I hope to leave Vietnam at the end of Jan, just before Tet. I'm not in a hurry and don't like spending too much money!

Hello all.

I posted this question on another forum but would love a second opinion to ensure I get the correct answer. I'm heading for Vietnam around December time although don't know my exact date of arrive which is why I've chosen a 3 month VOA. I've got the approval letter printed out and also the visa application form. Question 8 is: Occupation. I was actually made redundant very recently hence my ability to go on a long south east asia adventure! What should I put there? The advice was to…

Hello,

I am interested in travelling Vietnam for Christmas and new year for three weeks.

I’m worried that there aren’t going to be many other travellers around at this time? Is Christmas a quiet time for Asia?

Also are there closures when it comes to busses/planes/sights seeing places around the holidays?

I’m 24 year old female so hoping to meet s good group to travel with whilst I’m there

Thanks!
