LookAtVietnam – Lanta Viet Travel Company, the branch of Lanta Tour Voyage – one of the leading Russian tour operators, re-opened yesterday, Feb 3, in central Binh Thuan Province’s Phan Thiet City.
The move aims to serve Russian tourists who remain stranded at local resorts after their tour operator Lanta Tour Voyage declared bankruptcy on January 27.
The company has agreed to complete procedures necessary to allow the next 60 stranded Russian tourists return their country today, said Konstantin Prihodko, director of the Lanta Viet Travel Company.
The company suddenly ceased operating last Saturday, leaving 309 Russian tourists stranded in the city.

They say "

“I can’t say what made me fall in love with Vietnam - that a woman’s voice can drug you; that everything is so intense. The colors, the taste, even the rain. Nothing like the filthy rain in London. They say whatever you’re looking for, you will find here. They say you come to Vietnam and you understand a lot in a few minutes, but the rest has got to be lived. The smell: that’s the first thing that hits you, promising everything in exchange for your soul. And the heat. Your shirt is straightaway a rag. You can hardly remember your name, or what you came to escape from. But at night, there’s a breeze. The river is beautiful. You could be forgiven for thinking there was no war; that the gunshots were fireworks; that only pleasure matters. A pipe of opium, or the touch of a girl who might tell you she loves you. And then, something happens, as you knew it would. And nothing can ever be the same again.”

Tips on Travel to Vietnam

It's always warm in Southeast Asia apart from high mountains, so leave the heavy clothing at home. Cotton and breathable fabrics are always better than synthetics -- although cotton does wrinkle a lot when traveling! December through April is roughly the dry season in that region, although it can still rain a little. December is a good time to go in terms of temperature -- cooler than in the humid summertime. Either way, wearing more clothing (shirt sleeves and long pants) is always more respectful towards the Asian culture, especially when visiting temples and rural areas.
