Following hot on the heels of my review of Lonely Planet Cambodia 6, and the forthcoming new edition of Rough Guide To Cambodia, due out next month, another new arrival worth checking out for travelers keen on Southeast Asia, is the first in a comprehensive series of Asia-focused guidebooks, To Vietnam With Love: A Travel Guide for the Connoisseur. Following on from the acclaimed To Asia With Love: A Connoisseurs' Guide to Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, and Vietnam, the brand new series has kicked off with Vietnam and future publications will include Cambodia, Myanmar, Shanghai, Japan, Thailand, North India and Nepal. Published last month, To Vietnam With Love is edited by Kim Fay who guides readers through the country with more than fifty expatriates, travelers, and locals as they reveal their favorite haunts through personal stories. Stay overnight with a local hill tribe, climb Southeast Asia's highest mountain, tour historic French villas, dine on local specialties from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City, and learn how to give back to the country while you're visiting. And that's just the beginning.
