Secrets of Saigon 

This is a map of all the places I went to on my 3 month backpacking trip. 

We flew into Bangkok then island hopped in south Thailand for 2 weeks before flying up to Chiang Mai to explore north Thailand for 2 weeks. Next stop was northern Laos for just over 2 weeks where we got the slow boat from Thailand to Luang Prabang. After Laos was an overnight bus to Hanoi in northern Vietnam where we worked our way down to the south over 3 weeks. Finally finishing in Cambodia for 3 weeks and then bus back to Bangkok to fly home. 

This map includes recommendations of things to do, places to stay and restaurant recommendations too. 
I have added in information about the visas, currency, how to get around and important tips and tricks we learnt along the way.

You can fit in a lot less than you think when backpacking so this is a realistic map of what is achievable in 3 months.

Three Weeks in Vietnam

The Cafe Apartments

One of the cafe that visitor should visit, especially The Letter Cafe in Cafe Apartment. It has aesthetic vibes, a combination of 80's Dj lamp, french, and cool decoration. Definitely a worth place to enjoy your time. They also have a balcony where you can see clearly the Bitexco Financial Tower.

No trip to Saigon is complete without a visit to the Cafe Apartments, a nine storey building filled with coffee shops and boutiques. One of picks here for coffee would be Arabica (%) cafe, for freshly roasted beans and quality. 

This is an iconic building in HCM. Most cafes do not put their menu outside for viewing so do have a cafe in mind before visiting or you'd be spoilt for choice on the spot.

This old apartment building is filled with an eclectic array of independent cafes, each with its own distinct charm and specialty. 

Discover variety of vietnam special coffees in different cafe all included in one apartment.
