Phu Quok, Vietnam  In this episode, the FAQ is: What's the best water bottle for travel? Today's Destination is: Phu Quoc, Vietnam Today's Misstep- I Booked a room under construction and How I upgraded. Travel Advice: Take a small risk, not always a big one in Vietnam FAQ: What's the best water bottle for travel? The top 10 water bottles for a solo senior female traveler will be on this list, including price, from the least to most expensive in the show notes. They range from $11 to $90. Vapur Anti-Bottle Collapsible Water Bottle - $11–$14 Nalgene Tritan Wide Mouth BPA-Free Water Bottle - $12–$15 CamelBak Eddy+ Water Bottle - $14–$18 Brita Premium Filtering Water Bottle - $19–$25 Collapsible Nomader Water Bottle - $25–$30 Hydro Flask Standard Mouth Water Bottle - $32–$45 S'well Stainless Steel Water Bottle - $35–$45 Klean Kanteen Insulated Classic Water Bottle - $30–$40 LifeStraw Go Water Filter Bottle - $39.95 GRAYL Geopress Purifier - $89.95 Top rated 3 are: Hydro Flask Standard Mouth Water Bottle Features: Double-wall vacuum insulation keeps drinks cold for up to 24 hours or hot for up to 12 hours. Available in multiple sizes. Concerns: Bulkier due to insulation and slightly heavier. LifeStraw Go Water Filter Bottle Features: Comes with a built-in two-stage water filter, which filters out bacteria and parasites, ideal for travel in areas with questionable water quality. Concerns: Filtering process takes some effort, and it's only suitable for freshwater sources. GRAYL Geopress Purifier Features: Purifies water by removing viruses, bacteria, and protozoa. Great for international travel where tap water might be unsafe. Concerns: Pricey, and filtering requires pushing the water through, which can be tiring. Not on the top list, but I use a BEAM. It makes a well-regarded water bottle called the BEAM Self-Cleaning UV Water Bottle.  Price: Around $50–$70, depending on size and retailer. Features: This bottle is equipped with a UV-C light in the cap, which self-cleans and purifies the water by neutralizing bacteria and viruses. This makes it excellent for international travel or areas where water quality might be uncertain. It also keeps water cold for 24 hours and hot for 12 hours. Concerns: It requires charging for the UV feature, so you'll need access to power, and it's a bit pricier than standard bottles. The BEAM bottle is great if you prefer a high-tech solution for water purification and want to reduce odors and bacteria without a filter. If this sounds ideal, it could be a great choice for you as a solo traveler. I am not compensated for this product but I use it. https://www.amazon.com/UVBrite-Beam-Self-Cleaning-Water-Bottle/dp/B09RQSHV36?th=1 Today's destination: Phu Quoc, Vietnam When I arrived, I felt like I had landed in Hawaii. First, I'll tell you why to visit and then about my trip here. It's a tropical paradise in Vietnam. Why Phu Quoc is recommended for a Solo Traveler in their Prime: https://vietnam.travel/places-to-go/southern-vietnam/phu-quoc Safety and Hospitality: Phu Quoc is safe and welcoming, with friendly locals accustomed to tourists. English is commonly spoken in tourist areas. Relaxed Atmosphere: It's more peaceful than other beach destinations in Vietnam, and it is ideal for relaxation. Easy Navigation: The island is small, and it's easy to get around by taxis, organized tours, or with a private driver. Well-Developed Amenities: Phu Quoc has a variety of resorts, hotels, and spas that cater to international travelers, offering comfortable facilities and excellent service. Phu Quoc, Vietnam, is a beautiful, laid-back island destination that offers serene beaches, cultural sites, and relaxing experiences ideal for senior solo travelers. Here's a list of the main attractions and reasons why Phu Quoc is worth visiting.  The beaches include Long Beach, which has calm, golden sand and clear waters that are perfect for gentle strolls on the shore. There are many resorts, restaurants, and cafes. Sunsets are stunning. Find a beachfront restaurant and enjoy your visit. Also, Sao Beach is similar, but with white sand, turquoise waters, and a great place to read a book and relax. On my next visit here, I'll see these attractions:  2. Duong Dong or  Dinh Cau Night Markets This bustling night market is perfect for sampling local seafood and Vietnamese street food, shopping for souvenirs, and immersing yourself in local life. Local  food specialties include grilled scallops or fresh tropical fruit. It's a safe, lively place to explore in the evening. 3. Phu Quoc National Park This UNESCO Biosphere Reserve is a beautiful escape into nature. Its trails are suitable for all fitness levels and feature tropical plants and wildlife. Consider joining a tour if you prefer exploring with others;  Vinpearl Safari This is Vietnam's largest wildlife park, home to a range of animals worldwide. It's well-maintained and offers a safe, comfortable way to see animals in spacious enclosures. Tip: Ideal for a half-day visit, with shuttle buses from most hotels. 5. Ho Quoc Pagoda A Buddhist pagoda with ocean views is located on a hilltop. It's peaceful and an excellent place for a quiet moment of reflection. Tip: Morning visits are lovely, with cooler temperatures and fewer people. 6. Fish Sauce Factories and Pepper farms Phu Quoc is famous for its fish sauce, which is used throughout Vietnam. Visiting a fish sauce factory offers an interesting glimpse into this traditional process. The town is also known for its Pepper Farms. 7. Phu Quoc Cable Car This record-breaking cable car ride connects An Thoi and Hon Thom Island, offering spectacular aerial views of the coastline and nearby islands. This is a great way to see the islands from above, and Hon Thom has quiet beaches for a relaxed visit after the cable car ride. https://theculturetrip.com/asia/vietnam/articles/guide-mekong-delta-vietnam  Today's Misstep: Booked a hotel room under construction Today's Travel Advice- Take a small risk Connect with Dr. Travelbest 5 Steps to Solo Travel website Dr. Mary Travelbest X Dr. Mary Travelbest Facebook Page Dr. Mary Travelbest Facebook Group Dr. Mary Travelbest Instagram Dr. Mary Travelbest Podcast Dr. Travelbest on TikTok Dr.Travelbest onYouTube In the news

Boosted by a population surpassing 100 million, Vietnam counts one of the region's fastest growing travel and aviation markets. To assess the outlook for tourism in 2024, Gary and Hannah welcome back Ho Chi Minh City-based Mike Tatarski, founder of the Vietnam Weekly newsletter. We begin by recapping the 2023 recovery for inbound, outbound and domestic travel, and dissect the top visitor markets. We discuss the challenges for the air market, particularly with high prices irking domestic passengers and the financial struggles of Bamboo Airways. Transport infrastructure remains a hot topic. We assess the progress of new airport developments in Ho Chi Minh City and other provinces, and the latest status of the much-hyped North-South high-speed railway. Plus, we talk overdevelopment in Phu Quoc, environmental management in Halong Bay, and why Japan is such a popular destination for Vietnamese tourists.

Host Laura Reeves is joined by Kira Hoang and Dan Khanh Tran to discuss Phu Quoc Ridgebacks and their efforts to build a club and registry for the indigenous breed of Vietnam. [caption id="attachment_12275" align="alignleft" width="388"] Phu Quoc Ridgebacks are one of three known breeds with "ridges" of hair on their backs. Photo Red River Kennel.[/caption] Developed on an island off the coast of Vietnam, the Phu Quoc Ridgebacks join the Thai Ridgeback and the Rhodesian Ridgeback as the only known “ridged” dog breeds. Tran notes that most of the breed's known history is from French explorers who brought them to Europe. Native people on Phu Quoc island have a myth about the breed, that the dogs were born from stone dogs that guard the local temples. They are still utilized on the island as home guardians and independent hunting dogs. [caption id="attachment_12274" align="alignright" width="334"] The breed is medium sized, short coated and comes in a variety of colors. Photo Red River Kennel.[/caption] “Their hunting is different from modern dogs hunting,” Hoang said, “because they're independent thinkers, so they don't need their hunter to actually go with them to hunt. I've actually watched videos of them where they're chasing this pig …you've got three that are chasing this pig and then you've got two that have now split off to go and chase it and (corner) it on the other side. They're thinking and communicating with themselves to go and do these roles. They'll assign themselves roles, which is what I was told by a lot of the breeders when they do go hunt with them … that the dogs will go and do their own roles and they'll distinguish them amongst themselves. The hunter never has to tell them what to do. “I think a good description is just like easy going, that's kind of like the breed characteristic is that they're easygoing island dogs. They'll go hunting with you all day or they'll stay at home with you all day kind of thing. There's so much versatility to the dogs that the people of Vietnam really, really like.” Hoang traveled to Vietnam earlier this year and collected DNA samples from more than 100 dogs, mostly PQR but also other indigenous Vietnamese breeds, to add to the databases at Wisdom Panel and Embark. [caption id="attachment_12279" align="alignleft" width="390"] PQRA is encouraging clubs and owners to allow the breed to participate and title in various sports. Kaladin is owned by Professor Alex Gilewski.[/caption] “We're trying to establish this breed here,” Hoang said. “Not just established it, but we're trying to preserve what it is in Vietnam and preserve those same traits here. They're very rare, obviously. So, it's easy to novelize something that's rare, something that's new, something that's expensive. We don't want that. We want our breed to be loved as it is over there. We want it to be as available and accessible, but we want it to stay true to the breed that is in Vietnam.” “We also want to make sure we're doing it right,” Tran said. “You know that our breed that is so important to us is not just having its history recorded, but it's also that we're breeding for better. You know that we're doing the health testing, that we're making sure that breeders in Vietnam and breeders here have access to information that will help them breed better.

In “Blessed Egg Rolls and the Evolution of Rockport, Texas,” Gravy producer Evan Stern takes listeners to the small town of Rockport, Texas, which hugs the shores of Aransas Bay on the state's Gulf Coast, about 35 miles northeast of Corpus Christi. There, he visits Saint Peter's Catholic Church, founded by Vietnamese arrivals in the early 1980s, and whose congregants host a monthly fundraiser selling such dishes as bun, egg rolls, and shrimp.  Following the collapse of Saigon, in the aftermath of the Vietnam War, hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese, Laotians, and Cambodians fled the Indochinese Peninsula to seek refuge in the United States. While a great many of these people famously resettled and established enclaves in cities like Houston and New Orleans, seeking work in fishing and shrimping, others moved to and impacted smaller, less diverse communities on the Gulf Coast. For Gravy, Stern explores the challenges of resettlement and this community's evolution. We hear from congregants including Trang Kelsey, who found comfort in Rockport's oysters and fish that reminded her of her home island, Phu Quoc. Lyly Nguyen shares how the popularity of her family's cooking among Rockport High's football team—pho, lo mein, egg rolls—inspired them to open the successful restaurant, Hu Dat, which now claims three locations in Texas.  Stern also examines the racial tensions following this mass migration. Noted environmentalist and fourth-generation fisherwoman Diane Wilson, who lives and works up the coast in the town of Seadrift, remembers how misunderstandings between residents and newcomers over misplaced crab lines and unspoken rules gave rise to conflict. Lyly Nguyen recalls harassment and violence following a 1979 territorial dispute that kept her home from school for a week.  Finally, Stern speaks to Julie La Pam, a shrimper in Aransas Bay; seafood market owner Flower Bui; Saint Peter's choir director Tam Nguyen; and Father Tung Tran. All proudly call Rockport home and remind us that churches—and communities, and towns, and cities, and nations—are made of people before brick and mortar.

Test & Go. Vaccinated Travel Lanes. 'The Most Open Country in South East Asia.' One year ago, on 1 November 2021, Thailand introduced the Test & Go tourism entry policy. In the same month, Singapore accelerated its Vaccinated Travel Lanes and Cambodia made travel easier for visitors than anywhere else. This week, Gary and Hannah rewind to November 2021 – the month that reignited travel in South East Asia after 20 months of lockdowns and labyrinthine travel restrictions. Thailand and Singapore claimed the headlines, although their reopening strategies contrasted notably. Cambodia made the fullest reopening move, but garnered less media attention. Elsewhere, Malaysia and Vietnam launched Sandbox-style schemes on the islands and Langkawi and Phu Quoc. Twelve months on, how should we reflect on those progressive, yet imperfect, government-driven efforts to reboot travel and tourism? And how has the language of travel changed in the interim?

My guest describes this destination as ,“it's probably my favorite spot in Vietnam, and maybe ever, just due to its complexity and beauty”. If I could call this show the “reality Check-in to Con Dao” I would. As while it features some of the best beaches in Vietnam, it is not quite the same as what you would expect to find in Danang, Phu Quoc or Nha Trang. Its attraction is in its isolation. Its natural unspoiled beauty. It's serenity.In the show we take a deep dive into the Con Dao Islands with Conor Kelly. Conor shares with us a short break he took to the Islands and some of the things that took him by surprise. It's great to welcome Conor back to the show. We have worked together before on his own Podcast called The Comeback, where I was the guest. He keeps himself very busy living in HCMC as he is also a teacher and journalist. It is testament to his journalistic skills that he is great at being descriptive, so you will get a really good feel for his travel experience. It's fresh, honest and open without any hidden agenda or push one way or the other.While Conor has high praise for the islands, as we explored the activities during his stay more deeply we discovered some of islands dark history and limitations. We unpacked the “how to get there” travel experience, and how much time you should allow for a stay.  If you are the luxury traveller, this place has your name on it. As it features a stunning Six Senses resort. For those seeking a restful quiet chilled-out stay, Con Dao should be your first choice. Ranked No. 1 Best Resort In Southeast Asia. Travel + Leisure World's Best Awards 2021No matter what your budget, if you are starting to investigate beach side holidays in Vietnam, Con Dao will come up, and it is the perfect “get away” from it all.

John Celea is an actor, musician and theatre enthusiast, a lover of entertainment, and an expat in Vietnam, having spent his time between Hanoi and Da Nang. We discuss his theatrical side, his education in the South of England, why he aspires to be an actor, how he develops into character, uses theatrics to enhance his performance, and his favorite aspects about the industry. We also go into more of a spiritual realm and go into detail on the concept of Breathwork - how it can be so beneficial and transformational for your mental well-being, referencing the practices of Wim Hof. John is currently teaching acting in Da Nang, and hopes to continue spreading the positive energy and entertainment, and “clowning around”. I had the pleasure of watching John perform in Phu Quoc in January, and was hugely impressed, and therefore delighted to catch up with a follow up interview.

Ian from the Rabbit Hole Irish Sports Bar, based in both Phu Quoc and Saigon, joins me to discuss the origins of the bar and business, and setting up their Irish bar abroad. Ian discusses his background in hospitality and business, entrepreneurship and how he's spent his ten years in Vietnam, beginning his journey and developing the Rabbit Hole over time, both in Phu Quoc, and now here in Saigon. We discuss the challenges faced in setting up the bar, especially during the pandemic and dealing with location issues, developing rapport over time with customers and staff alike, why the bar is so iconic and special here in Vietnam, and perhaps future plans for expansion. Watch this space! This is a great insight into an iconic part of the party island and the Irish scene in Saigon, and also how to set up business abroad, particularly in hospitality.

An island blessed with white sand beaches, turquoise waters, swaying palm trees and an abundance of sunshine is attractive in its own right.  If you add a jungle forest, waterfalls, pepper trees,  a theme park for kids and an underwater world for divers, it makes for an unbelievably rich island  getaway.Phu Quoc, which is the focus of our episode today with Patricia Marques is only a short 45 min flight from HCMC, and is VISA free to visit. In fact its always been Visa FREE.The borders to Vietnam are open. Please see my detailed guide on my website for everything you need to know about travel and Visa's to Vietnam as at 16.3.22.In this Episode we expand on things like:Best time to go; Closeness to Cambodia; Water sports; What food is most common; Is it expensive?: Pepper farms; Fish Sauce; the famous Phu Quoc dogs; Is it worth going to downtown to eat out?; Accommodation choices and how the Island is configured so you can find what you want.Patricia Marques is my guest and I was lucky enough to catch her just after a recent trip to Phu Quoc. A trip that coincided with the news that Vietnam is now open to general tourists. So our chat is current as of March 2022. A little bit about Patricia. Patricia is the General Manager of Starbucks in Vietnam, and as you would imagine with a highly demanding job like that, she looks forward to the occasional weekend getaway. Leaving on a Friday afternoon and home on a Sunday Night, she heads for Phu Quoc. She was born in Lima, Peru, and throughout her working life she has visited many countries around the world. In the role as GM of Starbucks there isn't anything she can't tell you about coffee. She tells me in our interview this is the longest she has stayed in one country and for 2 reasons; 1) - I she loves Vietnam  2) -  she has her dream job. Amid the myriad of things we talk about, you will soon discover that Phu Quoc makes an ideal destination for families, couples and solo travellers alike.

The final episode in this series.A short episode to close out the series, I am again joined by Miquel Angel as we discuss the broader challenges of trip planning.“While time is in your hands” says my knowledgeable guest Miquel, it does take astute planning to get the best out of the regions within a restrictive 14 day trip, which was the basis of this series. This is a 3 -part series, so may I suggest you start with Part 1 to get the full benefit of my guest's insights.Miquel further shares his take on places like Dalat, Phong Nha, Hanoi, Northern Highlands, Phu Quoc and Dalat.You will discover things you may not have thought possible to see in Vietnam, as they are not featured in your average program, like Tulips in Dalat and Bee farms in Phu Quoc. Because as he says “You cannot fit everything into one visit to Vietnam”.Miquel is a Catalan citizen, originally from 100 km north of Barcelona and resides in Ho Chi Minh City. His knowledge of Vietnam during his 22 years of living and working here is wide, and as much as possible, is always linked to sustainability, tourism training and development of the hospitality industry. He is highly regarded in the circle of government and it is his expressed interest in growing tourism in Vietnam in a healthy and sustainable way.Disclaimer: Please note this podcast is not to be taken in any way as a formal news release or announcement from the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Vietnam.

Cambodia surprised everyone recently abandoning their phasing in of tourism to fully reopening the country to travelers. They're even paying for the rapid test on arrival! That's two countries in Southeast Asia that are now fully opened to travelers. This week also saw the first tourists to arrive in Vietnam in 20 months. Nha Trang, Da Nang/Quan Am, and how Phu Quoc are hosting international travelers on fixed itinerary travel packages. It's exciting to see the countries of SEA start to welcome back tourists. I do believe the industry will not be fully confident in the opening of all services until the whole region is open and all categories of tourists can be accomodated. In this episode we'll also go back to Okinawa, Japan and take a walk down Naha's famous Kokusai Dori Tourist Street. If you're ever in Taipei, Taiwan it's a very convenient place to launch a journey into the wonderful island life of Okinawa.Thanks as always for listening and your continued support!Donations: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/JohnASaboePatreon:https://www.patreon.com/FarEastTravelsWrite a Review For The Podcast:https://apple.co/3B4ld1p

In todays' world of media there are so many news broadcasters competing for your attention, it's hard to know which one to trust. With the advent of Covid's most devastating outbreak in Vietnam and in particular Saigon happening in 2021, getting local insights in English has been challenging. Albeit, when many other countries around the world are opening up, it's been hard to comprehend, let alone fully appreciate the ferocity of the Delta variant as it forced Saigon into one of the strongest city lockdowns of the last 20 years.Michael Tatarski is my guest and in his role as Editor-in-Chief of Saigoneer, the Vietnamese culture and history website, and author of the Vietnam Weekly newsletter is  well respected for his local knowledge and reporting in Vietnam and most particularly Saigon.I catch up with Michael just as the October 2021 ease in lockdowns is about to happen.In this episode he talks about what it's been like during the lockdown from July to October 1st, 2021 and what aspirations and advice he has on travel coming out of the lockdown, both domestically and internationally.It's great having Michael come on the show to give everyone the insights into the behind the news stories of Saigon during this devastating time of hardship. Read his latest report of the week commencing 1/10/21 - "The Lockdown is lifted".I see this as a historic recording.  You may wish to listen to this again before you visit, so you can marvel at the city's resilience and determination. I expect a lot of changes and hopefully most for the good.Saigon is a truly vibrant and energetic city bursting with heritage that sits alongside creative eateries, secret alleys, coffee houses, river cruising, artisan shopping and roof top bars, that many a news crew were known to drink at in years gone by. When you go to visit Saigon, you may wish to listen to previous episodes talking about the Saigon Nightlife, and  Best Districts to visit as great guides to maximise your time there.

Matt, Mel & Andy provide fresh updates on Ho Chi Minh City's increasing Covid-19 caseload, how the current curfew from 6pm to 6am is affecting the city, and what can be expected with the latest announcement that from August 23, the city will be under curfew 24/7 indefinitely with the military in place to ensure everything goes to plan. Despite arguably the strictest lockdown on the planet, Vietnam is still playing with the idea of a travel bubble agreement with other countries and has earmarked Phu Quoc as a possible destination. Meanwhile, the old Saigon was in the news again this week with images of the US military's withdrawal from Kabul conjuring up reminders of its withdrawal from Saigon almost 50 years ago. Off the back of that, each of the crew recommend a historic place in Vietnam to visit once travel is open again. The episode concludes on a lighter note with a pirate story too crazy to be true! All that and more on Vietnam's award-winning podcast.

Diving in Vietnam is NOT something you would traditionally think about doing on a holiday there. But alas, that is exactly why we are featuring diving and watersports in this Podcast Series.Where are the best dive sites?Is it safe?How much does it cost?What can I expect to see in regards to fish and coral?Best times of the year to visit?Are there Padi qualified instructors in Vietnam?It's a super jam-packed episode you will love, full of lots of handy information to help you plan your trip.Jeremy Stein is my guest and a pro-PADI diving instructor of some notoriety in Vietnam. Originally from the UK, you could say he pioneered diving as a professional sport in the country when he arrived about 25 years ago. As a holidaymaker on a 2-week vacation, he landed in Nha Trang looking for some diving. Back then there were no official dive centres, however, he was taken aback when he found some amazing diving there. The rest is history. Over the ensuing years, Jeremy went on to set up the 1st PADI Dive centre in Nha Trang and later on; Whale Island, Con Dao, Phu Quoc, and Hoi An. All stunning locations in their own right offering pristine beaches and a very relaxed holiday vibe. Whether you are just diving for fun or never considered diving before, there is something for everyone in Vietnam.As the Director of Rainbow Divers he continues to fly the flag for diving in Vietnam around the world.  In this episode, Jeremy offers up his best advice on locations, what marine life and coral you can expect to see, and what PADI diving courses are available. In his words “we are not promoting Vietnam as the new Sipidan, or the Great Barrier Reef. But rather a country with a fascinating history, and some pretty cool diving. We don't have the big Pelagics possibly due to the overactive fisherman in the region, but you will see beautiful Coral Reefs and stunning macro-marine life which inhabit the reefs. Nudibranch lovers will feel at home here! As will marine photographers”.So join us in this episode as we explore underwater adventure holidays in Vietnam. If you are seeking a good down to earth approach to the best diving locations and PADI instruction courses best for you. Jeremy and his team can certainly deliver. Rainbow Divers-Vietnam FB page - https://www.facebook.com/rainbowdiversvietnamWebsite - www.divevietnam.comSkype: Jeremy.in.vietnamLinkedIN - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeremy-stein-2a173624/PLEASE NOTE – this is not a paid advertisement for Rainbow DiversIf you are liking what I am doing with the show, I'd love it if you would please consider giving me a short review on Apple Podcasts/ITunes.Sign up for the WAV newsletter - 5 gold nuggets about Vietnam in a 5 minute read - https://www.whataboutvietnam.com/newsletterFor an easy way to search a subject or destination you are interested in, check out the NEW website now UP here : www.whataboutvietnam.comFor Transcripts to download or printable format - go to https://www.whataboutvietnam.com/podcast-transcriptsPlease follow me at Instagram; https://www.instagram.com/whataboutvietnampodcast/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/whataboutvietnam

This mix is full of groovy ghetto house and blip minimal, a (dancing) part of material i've been digging and playing for the last 6 month. So it was really nice and exciting to record it, especially during the lockdown, because all the clubs here in Hanoi are being closed for quite long time. Maneki Neko is a young artist from Belarus. With her roots and beginnings sprung in the Minsk scene she's the resident of сфера (sphera), a project focused on a multi faceted approach of curating diverse headliners in unusual locations, creating great events with a small but sound crew of Belarusian creatives which took over the local underground scene. It inflamed the passion to electronic music in her, and becoming a DJ was just a next step. With this steam, she has since left Belarus for Asia, where she's been dropping her signature minimalistic sound from the islands of Phu Quoc, Vietnam to the cities in the north, and in China. After a short time based in Hanoi, she's laid sets at the city's finest clubs. @manekinekoo

Con Dao Island is one of the hidden gems of Vietnam, which has only gained tourist attention and prominence within the last decade. It's more authentic, refreshing and clean in comparison to popular destinations such as Nha Trang, Mui Ne and Phu Quoc. It's full of untouched beaches which you can experience all for yourself. In this interview with tour guide 'Kitty', under 'TripswithKitty', she discusses the beauty and wonder of Con Dao, comparison with life in the big city of Ho Chi Minh, and challenges of the tourism sector due to the ongoing pandemic in Vietnam and beyond.

She grew up in Tennessee, went to college, and became a teacher in Texas but after a few years realized it wasn't the right path for her and decided to move to China to teach.

Quartos a ficarem vazios, colaboradores assustados e a fazerem perguntas para as quais não havia resposta. Hotel vazio durante dois meses e quem proporciona férias foi a banhos, garantiu o trabalho mas ficou de férias forçados. A história é contada por Diogo Palma, responsável pelo alojamento do Novotel Phu Quoc Resort, Vietname, unidade hoteleira com 680 quartos, que não teve nenhum caos, mas devido a uma suspeita esteve pendurada três horas à espera de decisões das autoridades locais.

It's not very often we get to have a direct relationship with the actual manufacturers of the Asian products that we use. And it's not very often we think of these Asian ingredients to be of the highest quality and standards. Well, our guest today, Danny Tran, co-owner and founder of Son Fish Sauce is trying to change that narrative. His story teaches us that as the more we look for opportunities, the easier it is for those opportunities to find us. Life took him across the world back to Vietnam, and many failures until the fish sauce business found him to expand its reach to the world. Danny's perspective on Vietnam and our culture is contradicting to how our elders view it, but hopefully, through the quality of his product and his passion for exposing the richness of Vietnamese culture through its native products, we can all appreciate the value of what Vietnam brings to our world in cuisine.

Ti år etter deres første besøk dro reise-journalistene Lise Lotte Winther-Bay og Bjørn Moholdt tilbake til Phu Quoc. Her forteller de om møtet med den vietnamesiske ferieøya på grensen til Kambodsja.

Elsa Crafoord och Adrian Coyet gav sig ut på en resa på jakt efter peppar. Och upptäckte en värld av symfonikryddor, chilipasta med kaninhuvud, och ovanlig svartpeppar. De satt vid köksbordet och tittade på pepparkvarnen och insåg att de inte visste nåt om pepparn. Var kommer den ifrån? Vem har odlat den? De ville veta mer och gav sig ut på en resa, en upptäcksresa, på jakt efter peppar. Och resorna har blivit fler och peppar och allt som smakar pepprigt och starkt blev med tiden deras jobb. De driver idag företaget The pepper quest som importerar pepparprodukter. På sina resor har de knutit kontakter med små odlare i Kina, Vietnam och Indonesien. - Det var nyfikenhet som fick oss att resa, säger Elsa. Peppar är dels en tropisk växt, piper nigrum, vars frukter blir svartpeppar, vitpeppar, grönpeppar och rödpeppar. Och dels ett begrepp som omfattar en massa andra arter som också smakar starkt, som chilipeppar, rosépeppar, sichuanpeppar och långpeppar. Elsa och Adrian tar emot på sitt lilla kontor i Stockholm. På bordet har de dukat upp med exotiska chilibönpastor och massor med olika pepparsorter. Meny provsmakar sichuanpeppar som tinglar i munnen och är som en hel kryddbukett. Och släktingen batakpeppar från en vulkankrater på norra Sumatra i Indonesien. - Vi kallar dem för symfonikryddor, säger Adrian. Chilipasta från Kina med kaninhuvud i. Phu Quoc och Vinh Linh, två svartpepparsorter från Vietnam. Röd långpeppar från södra Sumatra.

Welcome to the Travelman Podcast, my name is Ben and I host this cool little travel podcast. On today’s episode, I’ll be talking to Steve who’s originally one of the three co-hosts of Thinking Sideways podcast. I still remember an episode I heard featuring a grisly murder in Italy while my wife Mandy and I were driving from Miami’s South Beach all the way down to Key West, in Florida, 3.5 hours later. I was saddened when Thinking Sideways crew had decided to finish making podcasts because it would be too difficult to keep recording episodes as Steve was making his big move to Vietnam. I’m interested in Steve’s journey to Vietnam and that’s why I have him on the podcast today. Just letting you know that at the time of the recording Steve and I had a bad connection, maybe it was the torrential downpour that Vietnam was having as we spoke…. So, sit back and enjoy the conversation I had with Steve.   Timestamps: Intro to the show 1:52 – How did Steve end up in Vietnam and leaving the USA and expats in Vietnam 8:21 – Bugs in the water, food chat 15:18 – Steve’s view on Vietnamese history 16:54 – Hanoi’s French Quarter 18:30 – Vietnam War, American War what’s the difference, Vietnamese don’t care about it… 21:54 – Travelling around Vietnam, Ha Long Bay, Ninh Binh, Mai Chau District, Hue, Da Nang 22:49 – Ninh Binh, looks like Ha Long Bay but isn’t, it’s not in the water 25:36 – Have you been to Chin Moo Pagoda N’hue (Thien Mu Pagoda Hue is what I meant) Perfume River 27:26 – Hoan Kiem Lake looks nice (Hon Key M Lake is how to pronounce it), Hanoi 28:53 – Embracing foreigners in Vietnam and getting a Grab and learning the language 35:21 – Have you heard the expression “Beg Packer”? 37:15 – Steve’s favourite places in Vietnam, Phu Quoc, Nha Trang, Cam Ranh, Sa Pa Terraces, Mui Ne and the Mekong Delta 43:00 – Best food and drink to have in Vietnam 45:12 – Vietnam’s beautiful scenery 49:15 – Are you staying permanently in Vietnam? And bringing your cat to Vietnam 54:28 – Thinking Sideways podcast questions that all fans would love to hear 56:37 – Thinking Sideways favourite episodes, Lake City Quiet Pills, Benedict Daniels Cave Diver, and D. B. Cooper, which they never covered I found out… Poor D. B. Cooper… hilarity ensues… Joe wishes he had covered D. B. Cooper 1:04:35 – Mr. Cruel the Beaumont Children, we can’t work it out… I tell a little story about Mr. Cruel, Thinking Sideways did cover Mr. Cruel link below 1:08:30 – Steve’s cool artwork and some other chatter 1:13:22 – The final questions.

Chef Tu David Phu is a first generation Vietnamese-American with a rich culinary background. An alumni of highly regarded kitchens (such as: Daniel, Acquerello and Chez Panisse) his cooking reflected a wide range of cooking cultures - from the American culinary greats to classical European traditions. But his roots were quite different. His family hails from the Island of Phu Quoc, accredited as the birthplace of fish sauce in Asia. Consequently he has family roots in Award Winning Fish Sauce Production, Hung Thanh 1895. Pilgrimages back to Vietnam were often. After a decade of cooking, he began to immerse himself in the practices, ingredients, techniques, and flavors of Vietnamese cuisines.  Revisiting his favorite childhood dishes through the memory of taste, he started to cook the cuisine of his Mothers' generations-old wisdom handed down grassroots-style. In 2016 Chef Tu began garnering press and accolades with his weekly pop up dinners “AN - a Vietnamese Dining Experience.”; San Francisco Chronicle named him 2017 Rising Star Chef , featured contestant on Bravo's Top Chef Season 15, Host for ABC’s Taste Buds: Chefsgiving, nominated for a James Beard Award.   Check out his website here: https://cheftu.com/ Follow his instagram here: @cheftudavidphu

On this week's episode, we begin ̣(1:15) by discussing Vietnamese contestants on international reality TV shows who have made headlines recently, from Christine Ha on 'MasterChef US' to the Giang brothers on 'Britain's Got Talent', and several countries in between. How have they been received here? Then (15:10), we talk about Vietnam's domestic tourism boom and the impact it is having on destinations throughout the country. Some spots, like Phu Quoc, are being massively over-developed, while local entrepreneurs in less-busy areas are opening their own guesthouses and starting businesses. As always, we close with Bánh Mì Banter (29:48).

Phu Quoc, Vietnam is an island south of Cambodia and Vietnam. We had the chance to spend 8 fun days there in the heart of the action and on a resort that will be a hot spot for the casino lovers. Both locations provided beautiful beach lines, amazing eats, and different entertainment options.

On this week's show, we begin (1:17) with a discussion on some of the micro-level differences between Hanoi and Saigon. Our co-hosts Paul and Thi recently spent nearly a week in the capital, so we dug into the character of the place. Then (13:51) we revisited February's U23 football madness through the lens of the World Cup. Why was Vietnam's celebration so peaceful compared to that of France? What would it be like if Vietnam qualified for the tournament? Our interview guest is Howard Limbert (25:46), former head of the British Caving Association and one of the leading experts on Vietnam's cave systems. He is based near Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park, home to Son Doong, the world's largest cave, which he helped map. We talked about his extensive experience in the country, as well as why tourism in Phong Nha has thus far been an environmental success story, unlike areas such as Phu Quoc and Sa Pa. As always, we end with Banh Mi Banter (39:07).

This week on Snacky Tunes, Darin and Greg Bresnitz welcome Annemarie Ahearn of Salt Water Farm into the studio to talk about her New York City exodus, and her cooking school in Maine. Find out why the transition was at times scary, but ultimately led to a burgeoning recreational cooking school with visitors from across the world. Later, the crew from Red Boat Fish Sauce joins the studio to talk about the ingredients for authentic fish sauce, and why environment plays such a crucial factor. What chefs use Red Boat Fish Sauce, and why does Red Bat pack such an umami kick? Later, Cassandra Jenkins plays some songs, and talks about her family’s history in music! This program has been sponsored by MOOD Magazine. “People will fly to Maine to take my classes for three days. I never expected that it would get to that point.” [13:20] — Annemarie Ahearn on Snacky Tunes “The anchovies that live in the Phu Quoc- they are called black anchovies. They make the best fish sauce. If you use another type of anchovy from another part of the world, it’s not going to be the same.” [31:40] — Red Boat Fish Sauce on Snacky Tunes

Blir man mer drogliberal när man är ute och reser? Och tar man med sig de nya vanorna hem till Sverige. Hör Mattias, Anna och Boel om sina trippar under och efter semestern. Och så guidar vi till Phu Quoc, paradisön i södra Vietnam som håller på att förvandlas till landets stora chartermecka.

While the crew enjoys one final Vietnamese adventure on Phu Quoc island Dan packs his bags and says goodbye to Jet Set Zero.

As Chef Tu David Phu sees it, the path to cooking his unique brand of Vietnamese-California cuisine has as much to do with his birthright as his birthplace. Phu is an Oakland, CA-born first generation Vietnamese-American chef whose family hails from the island of Phu Quoc, accredited as the birthplace of fish sauce in Asia. Chef Tu's family has been producing small-batch artisanal Phu Quoc Fish Sauce, considered Champagne of fish sauces, since 1895. Phu cut his culinary teeth in the kitchens of some of the nation's top restaurants, including Daniel, Acquerello and Chez Panisse; and across a wide range of cooking cultures - from the American culinary greats to classical European traditions. But it was what he calls “the memory of taste” that pulled him back to his roots: the practices, ingredients, techniques, and flavors of Vietnamese cuisines. Revisiting his favorite childhood dishes, Chef Tu began an in-depth exploration of the cuisine of his mother's generations-old culinary repertoire. Pilgrimages back to Vietnam were frequent and inspirational.
