Story Day

From Siem Reap to Saigon

Day 9 · 30 November 2024

An early morning flight took us from Siem Reap back into Vietnam, exchanging the temples of Angkor for the energy, traffic and bright lights of Ho Chi Minh City.

Our first evening in Saigon, with the city illuminated after dark.

After several days exploring the temples around Siem Reap, it was time to leave Cambodia and continue our journey through Vietnam. An early morning flight brought us into Ho Chi Minh City, where the change in atmosphere was immediate. Saigon felt bigger, busier and more energetic than anywhere we had been so far, and after checking in we headed out for our first evening in the city.
