Myanmar - a Pandaw journey down the Irrawaddy

-


Video of a Pandaw cruise on the Irrawaddy river showing life in Myanmar (Burma), filmed in November 2012 on a cruise aboard the RV Katha Pandaw riverboat. It was a fantastic trip and the people of Myanmar were so friendly and welcoming. Things may change with the number of tourists already increasing and set to skyrocket in the near future but I hope the people will remain as nice.

Vietnam shares three international border crossings with Cambodia at the following points: Moc Bai (Vietnam) to Bavet (Cambodia) is the longest established border crossing which is used on the main bus route between HCMC and Phnom Penh. Vinh Xuong (Vietnam) to Kaam Samnor (Cambodia) is a popular crossing amongst independent travellers. Many take a fast ferry boat from Chau Doc in the Mekong Delta as far as Phnom Penh. Tinh Bien (Vietnam) to Phnom Den (Cambodia) near Chau Doc gives access to southern Cambodia. It is a land crossing mainly used by locals and there’s little in the way of tansport at either side of the border (see our story below). Ha Tien (Vietnam) is just 8km from the Cambodian border but it is strictly for locals. Foreigners are not allowed to cross here.

The 1st home food world tour - Le 1er tour du monde du repas chez l'habitant --- FRANÇAIS CI-DESSOUS --- After having tasted the food specialities of north Vietnam, Food Sweet Food went to the Mekong Delta to discover the floating market of Can Tho. Here all the activity is centered around the river. The tributary streams irrigate the field of the region which is the wheat storehouse of Vietnam. Farmers go up the river in their sampans to sell their goods on the river in the floating markets. Mrs Lee insisted to show us a floating market at dawn. The activity at this time is impressive, clients navigate with their boats between sampans selling fruits and vegetables, one can also stop on a boat restaurant while residents wash their clothes directly in the river. Mrs Lee brought us to a market and then invited us to have lunch at her parents' place who leave in a house opened on a tributary stream of the Mekong Delta. We ate lemon grass chicken and a hot...
