Traveling to Southeast Asia...

[Hung_Low]

With the lifting of covid restrictions everywhere... I was thinking about taking a month long trip to Southeast Asia: Thailand, Loas, Vietnam, Cambodia, Singapore and Philippine if time permit. Probably won't happened until late August to Sept. I want to go see the rice terraces of Sapa, Vietnam.

Just going by myself... maybe get a female host/tour guide

Better get vaccinated then since most borders are closed to the unvaccinated. lol

Nah, I looked it up and all don't need a vaxxed card or proof of being vaxxed. Just a 72 hrs prior arrival test showing negative result and these tests are readily available from country where you're coming from.

Sounds like you've gotten it all figured out, Hung_Low.

Yes same here and Sapa is on my list as well.  Someone told me the best time to visit is September or October, not too hot or cold, and rice would be ready for harvesting and those rice terrace would be golden.

My hmong friend was in Bali and is now in Sapa right now  To see more of Sapa, I watched Sapa TV on youtube.  The guy is viet but he broadcast from Sapa and he's hmong cultural like I am although his channel is spoken in the viet language for the viet audiences world wide.  Another way for me to learn about the hmong people in my country by the way.  Best clip for me is during the hmong new year as everyone be hogging around that big bridge over that river.  Ferry ride underneath for a fee.
