Stray Asia – Southeast Asia’s flexible bus network for adventurous travellers – www.straytravel.asia
Pioneering into remote Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Myanmar and Cambodian landscape is a daily occurrence on Stray. Some of the villages you will visit are so off the beaten track they aren’t even on the map! But we also ensure you tick everything off your Southeast Asia “must-do” list – like Hoi An!
Explore the streets of the “Old Town”, a UNESCO world heritage site, full of colour and culture. The charming city combines Old French colonial architecture with beautifully bold temples, colourful markets and lantern-lined laneways – all to be discovered amongst a beguiling riverside setting.
Rent a motorbike or bicycle and follow the river downstream to explore the beautiful white sand beaches nearby.
Suit up at world class tailors or indulge your senses with new flavours at the markets and restaurants. Hoi An boasts some unique culinary treasures such as the “white rose” and delicious street food and fresh fruit juices in the market food hall.
After dark Hoi An really shines with paper and fabric lanterns lit throughout the streets, casting those scenic old buildings in a warm glow and harkening back to Hoi An’s glory days in the age before electricity. Postcards can only try to capture this otherworldly atmosphere.
