Dong Khanh Hotel

... in no doubt how dreadful it all was. Unfortunately we were rushed through in too little time, and could not see everything. The Dong Khanh hotel in Hoi An was the most modest so far, more like what we had expected all the hotels to be. The entire ground ...

... guaranteed seats. We were dropped at Hoi An bus station in heavy rain, and were all quite soaked by the time we hailed a taxi. We finally made it to the Dong Khanh hotel at 5.30pm, 20 ½ hours after we left the hotel in Savannakhet, completely ...

... nephew of the adopted son of Tu Duc, he was named Emperor by the French. It was renovated and rebuilt in 1917 for Dong Khanh's father and some additional buildings were renovated until 1923. It is currently being renovated again. We ducked into ...

... motobike ride away, was quite amazing but was also deteriorating and very mossy!  The next two tombs we stopped at were Dong Khanh and Khai Dinh.  As Dong Khanh was a smaller tomb complex and Khai Dinh was too expensive, we opted not ...

... kami kembali ke HCMC dan sampai di Pham Ngu Lao sekitar jam 15.00. Karena lapar, saya mencari restoran di sekitar Vy Khanh hotel dan menemukan restoran halal tidak jauh dari hotel. Harga nasi+ayam+sayur sekitar US$ 3. Selepas makan, saya mencari masjid ...

... there were 13 kings, however, due various reasons, only seven had tombs. Gia Long, Minh Mang, Thieu Tri, Tu Duc, Duc Duc, Dong Khanh and Khai Dinh all had a tomb built. Each tomb was laid out with statues and monuments in perfect harmony with one another ...

... from the LP - they start their explainations from the entrance. Finished here, I keep on riding - the next stop is the Tomb of Dong Khanh - I come there just to find out that it's closed for the restoration. The next target is the Tomb of Minh Mang, it's ...

... of dollars - now this is aimed at tourists who have more money than sense! The next morning I realised just now nice our hotel was - a swimming pool, gardens of water lillies and the best breakfast buffet so far on my entire trip. I didn't really want to ...

... hungery at the end but not too bad.  A couple of beers just helped to fill the little gaps left in my ample tummy :o)  No-one was up for a particularly late night so we just headed back to the hotel and called it a night. Andy and Suez xx  ...

... home along the road. We had timed it just right getting home, 2 minutes after we got through the front door of the hotel the heavens opened.  That wasn't quite the end of the night though.  Ben and Elise had been exploring earlier on and had ...

... the buildings are still standing and the structures are in relatively good condition. We really enjoyed wandering through the former Grand Palace Hotel. An enormous four storey building set at the edge of a massive bluff, on a clear day it is possible to ...

... stores in the west selling off the rack suits really are having a laugh! The evening saw us gather at a restaurant across from the hotel for Floyd’s farewell and James’ birthday, but those of us who had made the side-trip to Kong Lo cave were ...

We treated ourselves good yesterday. Good hotel, food in a restaurant on a terrace overlooking the river. The food wasn't brilliant I must say. It's actually much tastier to eat locally although you must make an effort to describe what you want to eat ...

... , although they suffered a lot of damage from US bombs in the Vietnam war.  Getting there involved an organised bus from our hotel.  Unfortunately before we'd even left Hoi An the coach had crashed into the back of a US style army jeep (with a ...

... had so little to give, but would offer what they had. Most of the time it was just me and my driver Khanh, who picked me up from my Ninh Binh hotel on Friday morning.  We headed out of Ninh Binh by the horrible Highway 1 but soon escaped into the ...

... 50 menit berlangsung, pertunjukan berakhir, lalu kita jalan-jalan keliling Distrik 1, bermodalkan peta yang didapat dari water puppet maupun hotel. Untung tidak tersesat, mana sudah malam pula. Menyusuri jalan Nguyen Thi Minh Khai, lalu jalan Nam Ky Ngoi ...
