The three-day scooter tour on the Ha Giang Loop is definitely one of the highlights of my trip through Vietnam. On the bus from Hanoi to Ha Giang, a small town in the north of...

From the bustling city of Chiang Mai, I took a minivan on an extremely winding road to the 3-hour distant Pai. Pai is a beautiful small town in the mountains of northern...

Chiang Mai is a large city and therefore it is loud and hectic outside the center. The quieter and more relaxed old town is surrounded by a moat. There are countless temples...

Von Bangkok aus ging's mit dem Bus nach Kanchanaburi. Kanchanaburi selbst ist keine wirklich aufregende Stadt, aber berühmt für die Brücke über den Kwai und guter Ausgangspunkt...
