Greg Wilson – Wide Eyed Tours
In this podcast episode, your travel captain, Allen Suss, speaks with Greg Wilson of Wide Eyed Tours about travelling Indochina (Vietnam and Cambodia).
Ben’s favourite places to visit are:
– The whole place!
– Vietnam, and in particular, Hoi An.
– Siem Reap (food there is amazing)
Some tips for travelling Indochina:
- You can get around Cambodia and Vietnam only speaking English
- Cigarettes and alcohol are very cheap
- Excellent accommodation with funky architecture. Very good value for money.
- Quality clothing for one-tenth of what you would pay in Australia.
Another advantage of Indochina travel is that it is not far to travel to from Australia.
Most people go to Hanoi, Vietnam and that’s all, but there are a lot of amazing places to visit in the far north. It has the best scenery in Asia, after Nepal.
When is the best time to travel Indochina?
- In Vietnam’s north, January (winter) is quite cold, so if you don’t like cold weather don’t go that time of year.
- Vietnam’s south is 35 degrees all year round.
- March into April is the best time to go, as well as August, for the milder weather.
