I have read so many bad reviews about crossing the border from Vietnam to Laos via bus but it didn't hinder me to try or to find out if it's really true. So as a curious traveler, without any hesitation, I went to a travel agency near my accommodation when I was still in Da Nang. I booked a trip going to Pakse, the most populous city in Southern Laotian province. Based on my research, it takes more or less 20 hours to arrive in Pakse.

As I told you before on my first blog about Cambodia that one day is not enough to discover its gems (If you never happened to see my small tour blog you can read it on this site). So I was able to come up with a new trip not going to my hotel’s recommended big tour but I created my very own BIG tour. Big tour not because I went to big ruins but BIG tour because it needs to have a big patience and time before you arrive to see the ruins.

My service tuktuk arrived around 6:30am infront of my hotel. The first ruins that we are heading to is Banteay Srei. It is named after and dedicated to Shiva, the Hindu God.




This is the only temple in Angkor area that is not created by a King or a monarchy. This was the most gorgeous ruins that I saw because of its noticeable red sandstone carvings. This made the temple popular and it is also known for the beauty of its sandstone lintels and pediments.

Angkor is considered as one of the most beautiful and important archaeological sites in South-East Asia. Measures over 400 sq. km., including its forested area.

The hotel where I stayed offered me a tour upon checking in as I haven't planned my tour in Cambodia. I asked some questions about the tour and decided to go on the small tour (you can choose small or big tour). For small tour you can go to the famous heritage sites that surrounds Angkor.

Thailand is not just about temples, historical sites and religious beliefs but on the other side, Thailand is a great host to a beguiling range of attractions.

Suoi Tien is one of the biggest theme parks in Ho Chi Minh City and offers plenty of world class entertainment facilities.

Before this theme park was built, it was said that this place was an uninhabited land which had a natural stream flowing across endemic forest and natural scenery. The name “Suoi Tien” (Fairy Stream) derived from a story about 7 sacred girls died and became fairies in this land. Later the land was turned into a forestry farm before being developed into what we see today – the biggest cultural theme park of Ho Chi Minh.
