Sunsets, Beaches and Sails - Thailand and Vietnam

‘What’s stopping you?’ (That’s right – nothing!)’

Nai Yang Beach, Thailand

This week has afforded me to see some lovely beaches, gorgeous sunsets and join in on a really nice cruise through Halong Bay.

Halong Bay, Vietnam

We’ve covered a fair distance as we had quite a few early mornings with short-haul flights to get us from Thailand to Vietnam.

So, we started at a lovely beach – Nai Yang, Thailand which was 5 minutes from the airport, but you would never know it! Highly recommend staying here, if you ever needed to do an early morning flight from Phuket Island, Thailand.

Then one night at a comfy hotel in Bangkok which had a gym and nice pool, but attached to the airport. Once again, great for that early morning flight, as it was quiet, good food and made for easy travel over a sky walk to enter the airport 5 minutes later.

Hanoi, Vietnam – pineapple seller

Then it was another quick, early morning flight to Hanoi, Vietnam. Now this is a city which is a real feast for the senses. It’s hard for me to describe, but my first impressions have been full of excitement and anticipation. We, only stayed one night. Then it was a cruise for 3 days in Halong Bay. This is a beautiful area where we saw a small portion of over 1000 limestone islands. (extra photos of the cruise at end of blog)
