 Tales of the South China Sea
2-FOR-1 Savings + Low-Cost Air! Scroll paintings and Oriental carvings collected by silk magnate Jim Thompson still festoon his house in Bangkok. In Old Saigon, 'Huey' helicopters and Daisy Cutter bombs lie about outside the War Remnants Museum while unmarked beaches provide a peaceful refuge around Nha Trang, home to a magical underwater world. Centerpiece of this exhilarating voyage is an extended stay in Hong Kong. A city of eye-popping contradictions, food stalls stand outside five-star restaurants, old world double-decker trams skate past steel and glass hi-rises and the comic-book Star Ferry continues to shuttle Tiger tycoons over from Kowloon.
