They are essential little cushioned chariots pulled around the male on a motorbike, which makes the driver separate with the passengers. Tuk tuks give travellers a chance to sit back, relax and sightsee the view of busy streets and beautiful landscapes around Cambodia.

The origin of the Ounalom Pagoda is considered to date back from the 15th Century when the King Ponyea Yat, the last king of the Khmer empire built this temple in 1422.
Constructed in 1442 and includes 44 structures, this temple is one of the five original monasteries in Phnom Penh that were built by the King Ponhea Yat. Although having been damaged during the Khmer Rouge, the Wat Ounalom still proves to be one of the most historical attractions in Cambodia after being restored.

Here is some fantastic coffee shops in Saigon where you can drink coffee and relax with the beautiful place.

Tram coffee shop
Tram is not only a coffee shop but also a place where you can find the tropical world in the middle of Saigon. The coffee shop offers an oasis of calm in the busiest city and serves coffee, cake, drinks and food.

You make your way outside seating then put yourself into this old colonial house walking on stones, above fish peacefully swimming and under the canopy of trees. Now, you can feel free to choose from the different ambiance to relax: terrace or living room. If you go to with your friend group, you can even have a room for yourself.

The best coffee in Hanoi

When traveling in Vietnam I am more than happy to leave my computer at home, switch off my mobile and delve into the local culture without so much as a second thought about what might or might not be going on back home! I’m even happy to trade in my beloved cheese and pasta and wine for some home made spring rolls and a bowl of hot noodle soup. But if there’s one thing I crave even when I’m in the furthest flung corners of the globe, it’s a good cup of coffee. With this in mind, I put together a little list of some of my favourite spots to grab a ‘cup of joe’ in Hanoi. If you interest please follow Indochina tours Vietnam
 Because Vietnam has more than 150 years of experience of growing and brewing coffee, it’s hardly surprising that the locals have learned to make a great cup of coffee. Although many are eager to write off coffee culture in Vietnam as little more than a legacy of the French occupation, it doesn’t take a traveller long to realise that in modern Vietnam the passion for whiling away afternoons in a cafe with a group of friends is nothing short of a national past time. Nowadays, no matter where you are in the country you can be sure that you are never far away from a freshly roasted cup of caffeine-loaded goodness.
Ca Phe Xom This stylish little camera/photography-themed cafe on the edge of the Old Quarter has all the creativity and design that the more well known upscale cafes dotting the city have become known for but without any of the attitude. The majority of the folks in this shop are regulars but that doesn’t mean that they aren’t friendly and welcoming to the odd traveller who works up the courage to pop in. Luckily, despite having regular events and an active Facebook page, Cafe Xom remains relatively unknown and too small to turn in to one of those “seen and be seen” type places that the more affluent generation of Hanoians seem to be craving after so uncontrollably. For one of those, check out Cafe Align below! (8b Hang Tre. Tel: +84 (0)9 7896 0135) Hanoi Cycling Tour

DINH
13 ĐINH TIÊN HOÀNG, HÀNG BẠC, HOÀN KIẾM, HÀ NỘI, VIETNAM
7:30am – 9pm Dinh is easily our favorite spot in Hanoi. You’ll pretty much only see locals in there, the coffee is great, and the ambiance is just about as local as it gets. An approach that begins in a bootleg bag shop, down a hallway to a stairway that looks like you’re heading into someone’s apartment and then opens onto a smokey room filled with local kids sipping coffee in tiny seats on rusty diamond plate metal floors.
GIANG
39 NGUYỄN HỮU HUÂN, LÝ THÁI TỔ, HOÀN KIẾM, HÀ NỘI, VIETNAM
 When you ask anyone about Hanoi’s famous egg coffee aka ca phe trung, Giang comes up every time as one of the best places to try it. We agree, the ca phe trung at Giang is great as is the minimal decor that creates the full experience of a true local Hanoi cafe.
HANOI SOCIAL CLUB 6 NGÕ HỘI VŨ, HÀNG BÔNG, HOÀN KIẾM, HÀ NỘI, VIETNAM
8:00am – 11:00pm website Hanoi Social Club is a great spot with multiple floors of different spaces and plenty of room to relax and hang out for a while. Good place to get some work done or just enjoy a coffee in a hipster hangout. It’s no secret that we have an affinity for rooftops so, naturally, we like to head to the third floor terrace and have an egg coffee in the plant-filled oasis overlooking street life below.
