Phu Quoc might be hailed as the next Phuket, but those looking to get far off the grid head to this undiscovered archipelago just 110 miles off Vietnam’s southeastern coast. A 45-minute flight from Ho Chi Minh City brings you to Con Son, the largest (and only inhabited) member of the 16-island chain. There, sheer granite cliffs border deserted beaches and crystal-blue water—imagine a tropical Amalfi Coast without the crowds. Up until now, you’d have been hard-pressed to find a decent place to stay, but the arrival of the Six Senses Con Dao villas from $685 has brought a welcome dose of luxury to the island. Standing along a stretch of golden sand are 50 airy villas (some with private pools) that look out onto the South China Sea. Food is a highlight there. In classic Six Senses style, the hotel’s Vietnamese restaurant is set up to resemble a market. There are separate stalls “hawking” noodles and rolls, while made-to-order dishes are cooked outside in charcoal-fueled woks. You may be tempted to never leave the resort, but the 20-square-mile island is well worth exploring. Hire a private guide from the hotel, who will bring you via motorbike to the area’s most remote spots, including a 19th-century hilltop lighthouse and the spectacular Dam Tre Bay lagoon. Take a boat trip to Bay Canh Island to view endangered hawksbill turtles during nesting season (May through September), arranged by the hotel.

Great Cao Dai Temple. Tay Ninh is the holy tract of Caodaism, Vietnam
"K2T Wisata"
Tay Ninh is the holy tract of Caodaism, likely Vietnam‘s most peculiar indigenous religion. Its conceiver, Ngo Minh Chieu was a Nation subject servant and was also a mystical who was well-versed in west and southeastern religions. The Temple is shapely between 1933 and 1955, it combines architectural elements of a service, a pagoda in an exuberant rocco style.
It is near the mart hamlet of Lengthened Than, and only 5 kilometers from Tay Nihn, the metropolis of the field of the corresponding lingo. The thinking is a congruous seeing of Asian and European name, with domes and embellishments informatory the atmosphere of the institution. In the knotty, visitors can also respect additional buildings, specified as the Chanh Mon Gate, the quadruplet towers and many.
Perhaps one reason it became so touristed was that it became interested in the Vietnamese nationalist laxation that sought to move the Land.
The ceremonies are held quartet nowadays a day; the most nonclassical for visitors is the noon observance. When visiting Cao Dai Temple, satisfy tog modestly and respectfully and remove your shoes before travel.
