✨ Vijit Chao Phraya 2025 is now lighting up Bangkok! ✨

A few days into the festival and the riverfront is looking more spectacular than ever. The nightly drone show continues to transform the Chao Phraya River into a dazzling ribbon of colour, with immersive light installations shining across the heart of Bangkok.

The event runs 9 November – 23 December 2025, so there’s still plenty of time to experience one of Thailand’s most magical riverfront festivals.

This morning on Ms. Ha’s beach walk, she stumbled upon history! 🛶

After the recent storm, the sands of Cẩm An in Hoi An shifted and revealed an ancient boat like never before. First discovered in 2023, this mysterious vessel could date back to the 14th–16th century.

Now that much of the hull is exposed, it’s a breathtaking sight — but also a race against time to protect this piece of history before it fades back into the sea. 🌅

The sun is shining again in Hoi An. ☀️

After last week’s record-breaking floods, people from all walks of life have come together as one community to support those affected.

The Wide Eyed team has been providing care packages with essential supplies, medical aid, food, and hands-on help with cleanup and rebuilding. Our lovely Ha, wife of founder Travis Fennell, has been tirelessly coordinating and organising relief efforts for both the local community and the military teams working on rescues, aid, and sandbagging operations.

It’s been both a heartbreaking and inspiring time, a powerful reminder of the resilience, kindness, and unity that defines Vietnam. 🇻🇳💪

Whilst there’s still some recovery ahead, Hoi An is already bouncing back, ready to welcome you with open arms.

It’s moments like these when booking with a DMC like Wide Eyed Tours & Travel truly makes all the difference.

Central Vietnam has been hit by heavy flooding over the past few days, and our team is on the ground making sure all travellers and your clients are safe. We’re rearranging itineraries, checking routes, arranging boats and even meeting travellers in person to ensure their journeys continue as smoothly as possible.

The weather may not always be on our side, but it’s often in these unexpected moments that the best memories are made — from shared laughter in the rain to the kindness of locals helping along the way.

Our thoughts go out to all those affected by the flooding. 💛🇻🇳
